The head restraint may move when the backrest is
pressed by the occupant's torso or hand: this
behaviour is caused by the system and should not be
considered a malfunction.
WARNING
All adjustments must be made with the
car stationary. Head restraints must
be adjusted so that the head, rather than the
neck, rests on them. Only when they are
adjusted in this manner can they serve their
intended purpose.
WARNING
To make the best use of the head
restraint's protective action, adjust the
backrest so that you are sitting upright and
keep your head as close as possible to the head
restraint .

Depending on the version, the rear seats may be
fitted with two or three height-adjustable head
restraints.
Upwards adjustment:raise the head restraint
until it clicks into place.Downwards adjustment:press button A fig. 20
and lower the head restraint.
Proceed as follows to remove the head restraints:
❒raise the head restraints to their maximum height;
❒press buttons A and B fig. 20 at the side of the
two supports, then remove the head restraints
by pulling them upwards.
IMPORTANT If the rear seats are used, always set
the head restraints in the "completely raised"
position.

ADJUSTING THE SEAT BELT HEIGHT
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The height can be adjusted to 4 different positions.
To adjust, press button A fig. 90 and lower or raise
the grip B.
Always adjust the seat belt height adapting it to the
passenger's body: this precaution may considerably
reduce the risk of injury in the event of a collision.
Correct adjustment is obtained when the belt passes
approximately half way between the shoulder and
the neck.
For some versions, front seat belts have just one
fixed anchor point C fig. 91 on the door pillar.
SBR SYSTEM (Seat Belt Reminder)This system consists of a device which, in
conjunction with the switching on of the
warning
light on the instrument panel and an intermittent
acoustic signal, warns the driver and front passenger
if their seat belts have not been fastened. The icon
A
fig. 92 indicates that the seat belt is not
fastened. The icon B
fig. 92 indicates that the seat
belt is fastened.
For permanent deactivation, contact a Fiat
Dealership. The SBR system can only be reactivated
via the display Setup Menu (see “Knowing your
car” section).
The amber warning lights operate as follows:
❒1 = front left seat (driver status for left-hand drive
versions);
❒2 = rear left seat (passenger) (for versions/markets
where provided);
