SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS fig. 1
The seat belt should be worn keeping the
torso straight and rested against the seat
back.
To fasten the seat belt, hold the tongue
Aand insert it into the buckle B, until it
clicks into place.
If the seat belt jams during removal, let it
rewind for a short stretch, then pull it out
again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belt, press button C.
Guide the seat belt while it is rewinding,
to prevent it from twisting.
Through the retractor, the seat belt au-
tomatically adapts to the body of the oc-
cupant wearing it, allowing freedom of
movement.
The retractor may lock when the car is
parked on a steep slope: this is normal.
Furthermore, the retractor mechanism
locks the belt if it is pulled sharply or in
the event of sudden braking, impacts or
high-speed bends.
The rear seat is fitted with inertial seat
belts with three fixing points and a re-
tractor.
fig. 1F0P0108m
Never press button C - fig. 1
when travelling.
WARNING
USING THE FRONT
SEAT BELTS
With front airbags: driver and passenger
(for versions/markets, where provided).
The front seats are equipped with py-
rotechnic pretensioners and load limiters.
See paragraphs - pretensioners and load
limiters;
If the vehicle is equipped with a 2-seat
front bench, and the passenger front
airbag is not available, the seat belt of the
central passenger is not equipped with the
pyrotechnic pretensioner; the height of
the seat belt associated with the centre
seat cannot be adjusted.
The front seat belts are height-adjustable,
in order to adapt to the body of the oc-
cupants. This precaution may considerably
reduce the risk of injury in the event of an
impact. Correct adjustment is obtained
when the belt passes approximately half
way between the shoulder and the neck.
To carry out the adjustment, press grip
Aand raise or lower the cursor.

Height adjustment of the
seat belts must be carried
out when the car is stationary.
WARNING
After the adjustment, always
check that the cursor is cor-
rectly locked in one of the preset po-
sitions. Release the grip and push
again to enable the fixing device to
click if the grip has not been released
in one of the preset positions.
WARNING
Remember that in the event
of a violent impact the rear
seat passengers not wearing seat belts
are exposed to a very serious risk and
also represent a serious danger for
the front seat occupants.
WARNING
USE OF THE SEAT BELT ON
THE REAR SEATS fig. 2
If the vehicle is provided with a single seat
and a double seat, the three seats are
equipped with seats belts with three fix-
ing points and retractors. The central seat
is equipped with a guide and with the seat
belt retractor, integral to the backrest.
For the second and third row, always in-
sert the seat belt in the corresponding
housing. Do not exchange the seat belt or
the housing of the side seats with those of
the central seat.
After folding or moving the
seat, make sure that the seat
belt is correctly wound and that the
dedicated housing is ready for lock-
ing.
WARNING
Make sure that the backrest
is correctly fixed on both
sides to prevent it from projecting for-
wards, hurting the passengers, in the
event of a sudden braking.

DEVICES
Operations which lead to
knocks, vibrations or localised
heating (over 100°C for a maximum of
6 hours) in the area around the pre-
tensioner may cause damage or trigger
it. This device is not affected by vibra-
tions caused by irregularities of the
road surface or low obstacles such as
kerbs, etc. Contact a Fiat Dealership
for any assistance.
WARNING
PRETENSIONERS
To increase the efficiency of the front seat
belts, the vehicle is equipped with pre-
tensioners, that reduce slack in the belts
in the event of a severe frontal impact.
This guarantees the perfect adherence of
the seat belts to the occupants’ bodies be-
fore the restraining action begins.
It is evident that the pretensioners have
been activated when the belt withdraws
towards the retractor.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest de-
gree of protection from the action of the
pretensioner, wear the seat belt tight to
the chest and pelvis. A slight discharge of
smoke may be produced during the acti-
vation of the pretensioner. This smoke is
not harmful and does not involve any fire
hazard. The pretensioner does not require
any maintenance or lubrication. Any
changes to its original conditions will in-
validate its efficiency. If, due to unusual nat-
ural events (floods, sea storms, etc.), the
device has been affected by water and
mud, it must be replaced.The pretensioner may be
used only once. Contact a Fi-
at Dealership to have it replaced af-
ter it has been activated. The validi-
ty of the device is indicated on the la-
bel located on the door contour sheet
metal: refer to the Fiat Dealership
when it’s time to replace the device.
WARNINGSBR SYSTEM
The vehicle is equipped with the SBR (Seat
Belt Reminder) system, which consists in
a device which, in conjunction with the
warning light coming on, warns the dri-
ver and front passenger that their seat
belts have not been fastened.
