The pretensioner can be used only once. Go
to a Fiat Dealership to have it replaced af-
ter it has been deployed. See the label inside the
glove box to check the status of the device; go to
a Fiat Dealership when it is time to replace it.
WARNING
Operations which lead to knocks, vibrations
or localised heating (over 100 °C for a max-
imum of six hours) in the area around the
pretensioners may damage or trigger them. These
devices are not affected by vibrations caused by un-
even road surfaces or low obstacles such as kerbs,
etc. Contact a Fiat Dealership for any assistance.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE
SEAT BELTS
The driver is responsible for respecting (and ensuring that
all the other passengers also respect) the local laws in force
regarding the use of seat belts. Always fasten the seat belts
before setting off.
Seat belts must also be worn by expectant mothers: the
risk of injury in the event of an accident is greatly reduced
for them and the unborn child if they are wearing a seat
belt. Pregnant women must position the lower part of the
belt very low down so that it passes over the hips and
under the abdomen (see fig. 113).
LOAD LIMITERS
(for versions/markets where provided)
To increase passenger safety, the front and rear (for ver-
sions/markets where provided) seat belt reels contain a
load limiter which controls the force acting on the chest
and shoulders during the belt restraining action in the
event of a head-on collision.

If you are having the vehicle scrapped, have the airbag sys-
tem deactivated at a Fiat Dealership first. If the vehicle
changes ownership, the new owner must be informed of
the method of use of the airbags and the above warnings
and also be given this “Owner’s Handbook”.
Pretensioners, front airbags and front side bags are de-
ployed differently according to the type of collision. Non-
deployment of one or more of these devices does not
therefore indicate a system fault.
If the warning light ¬does not turn on
when the key is turned to MAR, or if it
stays on when travelling (together with the mes-
sage on the display on some versions), there could
be a failure in the restraint systems. If this is the
case, the airbags or pretensioners may not trigger
in the event of an accident or, less likely, they may
trigger accidentally. Before continuing your jour-
ney, contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system
checked immediately.
WARNING
The expiry dates of the pyrotechnic
charge and spiral contact are shown on
the label in the glove box. When these dates ap-
proach, go to a Fiat Dealership to have the parts
replaced.
WARNING
Never travel with objects on your lap, in
front of your chest or with a pipe, pencil,
etc. between your lips; serious injury may result
if the airbag is triggered.

INDEXAutomatic FIX&GO QUICK TYRE
REPA I R KIT
The quick repair kit Fix&Go automatic is contained in a
suitable bag inside the compartment on the right rear side
or, for Cargo versions, under the passenger seat (for ver-
sions with fixed or movable seat), or in the glove com-
partment (for versions with folding seat).
The kit includes fig. 141:
❒a canister A, containing sealant, which is fitted with:
– filler tube B;
– an adhesive label C with the message “max. 80 km/h” to be placed where the driver can easily see it (on
the dashboard) after repairing the tyre;
❒ a compressor D complete with pressure gauge and fit-
tings.
– position the wheel vertically and lay the mounted
adapter on the inner part of the rim, using the sup-
plied screws fasten the wheel to the adapter using
the bolt inlet wrench G. Tighten the screws with the
wheel removal wrench
NOTE Use the spare wheel covering bag to protect the
replaced alloy wheel
❒ check that the wheel is stored correctly in the under-
floor housing (the friction of the lifting system limits
how far the wheel can travel. Incorrect positioning may
compromise safety);
❒ put the jack and the other implements back in the tool
box.
❒ position the tool box behind the left seat (Cargo ver-
sions) or inside the compartment in the rear right side
panel by resting the base of the box on the side
(Doblò/Doblò Combi versions).
