SEAT BELTSUSING THE SEAT BELTS
The belt should be worn keeping the
torso straight and rested against the
backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the
tongue A fig. 151 and insert it into the
buckle B, until it clicks into place.
On removal, if the seat belt jams, let it
rewind for a short stretch, then pull
it out again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button
C. Guide the seat belt with your hand
while it is rewinding, to prevent it from
twisting.
Through the retractor, the belt
automatically adapts to the body of the
passenger wearing it, allowing freedom
of movement.The retractor may lock up when the
vehicle is parked on a steep slope: this
is perfectly normal.
Furthermore, the retractor mechanism
locks the belt if it is pulled sharply or
in the event of sudden braking,
collisions or high-speed bends.
95)
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
To adjust, use button A fig. 152 and
raise or lower handle B.
96) 97)
Always adjust the seat belt height 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.Seat belt with retractor

The two-seater front bench is equipped
with an on-board seat belt (retractor
on seat) with three anchorage points for
the central position fig. 153.
WARNING
95) Never press button C fig. 151
when travelling.
96) The height of the seat belts must
be adjusted with the vehicle
stationary.

SAFETY

97) After the adjustment, always
check that the cursor to which the
ring is fastened is locked in one
of the preset positions. Release
the grip and push downwards
to enable the locking device to
click if the grip has not been
released in one of the possible
positions.
SBR SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
The vehicle is fitted with a Seat Belt
Reminder system (SBR), consisting of
a buzzer and a flashing warning light
on the instrument panel which
warns the driver that the seat belt
must be fastened.
The buzzer can be deactivated (until the
next engine stop) as follows:
❒fasten the driver's seat belt;
❒turn the ignition key to the MAR-ON
position;
❒wait for over 20 seconds and then
release one of the seat belts.
For permanent deactivation, contact a
Fiat Dealership.
With digital display, the SBR system
can only be reactivated at a Fiat
Dealership.
With multifunction display, the SBR
system can also be reactivated through
the set-up menu.
PRETENSIONERSTo increase the protective efficiency of
the front seat belts, the vehicle is fitted
with pretensioners. These devices, in
the event of a head-on crash or side
impact, rewind the seat belts a few
centimetres. In this way, they ensure
that the belts fit tightly to the wearer
before the restraining action begins.
The retractor locks to indicate that the
pretensioner has intervened; the seat
belt cannot be drawn back up even
when guiding it manually.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest
degree 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 activation of the
pretensioner which 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
invalidate its efficiency. If, due to
unusual natural events (floods, sea
storms, etc.), the device has been
affected by water and mud, it must
absolutely be replaced.

BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by
pushing, towing or driving downhill.
This could cause fuel to flow into the
catalytic converter and damage it
beyond repair.
WARNING
136) This procedure must be
performed by qualified personnel
as incorrect actions may cause
high-intensity electrical discharge.
Furthermore, battery fluid is
poisonous and corrosive: avoid
contact with skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames and lighted
cigarettes away from the battery
and do not cause sparks.
