GENERAL WARNINGS❒
When parking, take the utmost care to obstacles that
may be set above or under the sensors.
❒
Objects set close to the car rear, under certain cir-
cumstances are not detected and could therefore cause
damage to the car or be damaged.
❒
Indications sent by the sensors can be altered by dirt,
snow or ice deposited on the sensors or by ultrasound
systems (e.g.: truck pneumatic brakes or pneumatic
hammers) set nearby the car.
For proper operation, sensors must always
be clean from mud, dirt, snow or ice.
Be careful not to scratch or damage the
sensors while cleaning them. Avoid using dry, rough
or hard cloths. The sensors should be washed us-
ing clean water with the addition of car shampoo
if necessary. When using special washing equipment
such as high pressure jets or steam cleaning, clean
the sensors very quickly keeping the jet more than
10 cm away.
Parking manoeuvres however are always
under the driver’s responsibility. While ma-
noeuvring, the driver shall always make sure that
no-one is standing in the area, especially children
or animals. The parking sensor is designed to as-
sist drivers, who shall never reduce attention dur-
ing potentially dangerous manoeuvres even if per-
formed at low speed.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
THE SEAT BELTS
The driver must comply with (and have all car passengers
follow) any local regulations in force concerning the use
of seat belts. Always fasten the seat belts before starting.
Seat belts are also to be worn by expectant mothers: the
risk of injury in the case of accident is greatly reduced for
them and the unborn child if they are wearing a seat belt.
Expectant mothers must position the lower part of the
belt very low down so that it passes under the abdomen
(see fig. 103).
The pretensioner can only be used once.
After a collision that has triggered it, have
it replaced at a Fiat Dealership. Pretensioner va-
lidity is written on the label set on the door con-
tour sheet metal. Pretensioners should be replaced
at Fiat Dealership as this date approaches.
WARNING
Operations which lead to knocks, vibrations
or localised heating (over 100 °C for a max-
imum 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 obsta-
cles such as kerbs, etc. Contact a Fiat Dealership
for any assistance.
LOAD LIMITERS
To increase passenger’s 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 shoul-
ders during the belt restraining action in case of front
collisions.

IMPORTANT The belt must not be twisted. The upper
part must pass over the shoulder and cross the chest di-
agonally. The lower part must adhere to the pelvis (as
shown in fig. 104) rather than the abdomen of the pas-
senger. Never use devices (clips, pegs, etc.) to hold
the seat belt away from your body.
IMPORTANT Each belt shall be used by one person on-
ly: never travel with a child sitting on the passenger’s lap
with a single belt to protect them both fig. 105. Do not
fasten other objects to the body.
For maximum safety, keep the back of
your seat upright, lean back into it and
make sure the seat belt fits closely across your
chest and hips. Always fasten the seat belts on
both the front and the rear seats. Travelling with-
out wearing seat belts will increase the risk of se-
rious injury and even death in the event of an ac-
cident.
WARNING
Under no circumstances should the com-
ponents of the seat belts and pretension-
ers be tampered with or removed. Any operations
must be carried out by qualified and authorised
personnel only. Always contact a Fiat Dealership.
