2014 FIAT 500L LIVING seats

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.
IMPORTANT When putting the back seats back to
their normal position, make sure the seat belts
are positioned so they are ready to use.
S.B.R. SYSTEM (Seat Belt Reminder)This system consists of a device which, in
conjunction with the
fig. 133 warning light coming
on (initially in fixed mode with continuous acoustic
signal and then in flashing mode with intermittent
acoustic signal), warns the driver and front passenger
that their seat belts have not been fastened.
For long-term deactivation of the SBR system,
contact a Fiat Dealership. The SBR system can be
reactivated at any time through the display Setup
Menu (see “Knowing your car” section).

DRIVER
If the driver is the only occupant and the seat belt is
not fastened, when 20 km/h is exceeded or when
travelling at a speed from 10 to 20 km/h for longer
than 5 seconds, an acoustic signal sequence will
be started (front seats) consisting of a tone for 6
seconds followed by a 90 second beep. The
warning light will flash.
The warning light will stay on constantly at the end
of the cycle until the engine is stopped. The acoustic
signal will be interrupted immediately when the
driver's seat belt is fastened and the warning light will
switch off.
The reminder cycle (acoustic and visual) will be
repeated as described above if the seat belt is
unfastened while travelling.
PASSENGER
A similar solution applies for the passenger, but the
indication is interrupted also when the passenger
leaves the car.
If both the front seat belts are unfastened with car in
motion and within a few seconds one from the
other, the acoustic signal and activation of the
warning light will refer to the most recent event.
PRETENSIONERSThe car is equipped with front seat belts
pretensioners, 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 before the restraining action begins.
It is evident that the pretensioners have been
activated when the belt withdraws toward the
retractor.
This car is also equipped with a second pretensioner
(in the kick plate area). Its activation is signalled by
the shortening of the metal cable.
A slight discharge of smoke may be produced during
the activation of the pretensioner which is not
harmful and does not involve any fire hazard.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest degree of
protection from the action of the pretensioner, wear
the seat belt tight to the chest and pelvis.
The pretensioner does not require any maintenance
or lubrication: any changes to its original conditions
will invalidate its efficiency. If, due to unusual natural
events (floods, sea storms, etc.), the device has
been affected by water and mud, it must be replaced.

WARNING
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 pelvis. Always fasten the seat
belts on both the front and the rear seats!
Travelling without wearing seat belts will
increase the risk of serious injury and even
death in the event of an accident .
WARNING
Removing or otherwise tampering with
seat belt and pretensioner components
is strictly prohibited. Any operations on these
components must be performed by qualified
and authorised technicians. Always contact
a Fiat Dealership.
The belt must not be twisted. The upper part must
pass over the shoulder and cross the chest diagonally.
The lower part must adhere to the pelvis (as shown
in fig. 135) rather than the abdomen of the occupant.
Never use devices (clips, clamps, etc.) to hold the
seat belt away from your body.Each seat belt must be used by only one person.
Never travel with a child sitting on the passenger's
lap and a single belt to protect them both fig. 136. In
general, do not place any objects between the
person and the belt.
