Through the reel, the belt automatically adapts to the
body of the passenger wearing it, allowing freedom of
movement.
The reel may block when the vehicle is parked on
a steep slope: this is perfectly normal. Furthermore,
the reel mechanism locks the belt if it is pulled and in
the event of sudden braking, collisions and on high
speed bends.SAFETY BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
fig. 142
The belt should be worn keeping the chest straight and
rested against the seat back.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue A and insert it
into the buckle B, until the locking click is heard.
On removal, if it jams, let it rewind for a short stretch,
then pull it out again without jerking.

PRETENSIONERS
To increase the efficiency of the seat belts, the vehicle is
fitted with pretensioners. These devices, in the event of
a violent frontal impact, rewind the seat belts a few
centimetres. In this way they ensure that the seat belt
adheres perfectly to the wearer before the restraining
action begins.
The buckle moves downwards to indicate that the
device has intervened; the seat belt cannot be drawn
back up even when guiding it manually.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest degree of
protection from the action of the pretensioning device,
wear the seat belt keeping it tight to the chest and
pelvis.
A slight amount of smoke may be detected during
operation of the pretensioners. This smoke is not
harmful and does not indicate a fire.
The pretensioner does not require any maintenance or
lubrication.
Anything that modifies its original conditions invalidates
its efficiency.
If unusual natural events (floods, sea storms, etc.) have
caused the device to be contaminated by water and
mud, it must be replaced.The pretensioner can only be used once.
After it is triggered, have it replaced at
a Fiat Dealership. The device expiry date is
shown on the plate in the glove compartment:
contact the FIAT Dealership when it is time to
replace the device.
WARNING
Operations which lead to knocks,
vibrations or localised heating (over
100 °C for a maximum of 6 hours) in the
area around the pretensioners may cause
damage or trigger them. These devices are not
affected by vibrations caused by irregularities of
the road surface or low obstacles such as kerbs,
etc. Contact a Fiat Dealership for any assistance.
LOAD LIMITERS
To increase passenger safety, the front seat belt reels
contain a load limiter which allows controlled sag in
such a way as to dose the force acting on the chest and
shoulders during the belt restraining action in the event
of frontal impact.
