PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENTThe following devices are used for reducing petrol
fuel engine emissions: catalytic converter, oxygen
sensors and evaporation control system
Do not let the engine run, even for a test, with one
or more spark plugs disconnected.
The following devices are used for reducing diesel
fuel engine emissions: oxidising catalytic converter,
exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR) and
particulate filter (DPF).
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is a mechanical filter, fitted in the exhaust
system, which almost completely eliminates carbon
particle emissions.
WARNING
During normal service, the catalytic
converter and the diesel particulate
filter (DPF) reach high temperatures. Do not
therefore park the car over inflammable
materials (grass, dry leaves, pine needles, etc .):
fire hazard.

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. 86
and insert it into the buckle B, until it clicks into
place. On removal, if it 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 reel, the belt
automatically adapts to the body of the passenger
wearing it, allowing freedom of movement.
WARNING
Never press button C fig. 86 when
travelling.
The reel may lock when the car is parked on a steep
slope: this is perfectly normal. Furthermore, the
reel mechanism locks the belt if it is pulled sharply or
in the event of sudden braking, collisions and
high-speed bends.
The rear seat is fitted with inertia seat belts with
three anchor points and a reel. Fasten the rear seat
belts as shown in fig. 87 (4-seater versions) or
(5-seater versions) fig. 88.

WARNING
Remember that in the event of a violent
collision, back seat passengers not
wearing seat belts also represent a serious
danger for the front seat passengers.
IMPORTANT When putting the back seats back to
their normal position, make sure the seat belts
are positioned so they are ready to use.
WARNING
The rear central seat belt (for versions
where provided) is provided with a
service buckle fig. 89. Do not use the seat belt
with the service buckle not fastened. In this case
there is a high risk of injury or death in the
event of an accident . Before using the belt ,
always make sure that the service buckle is
correctly fastened.
WARNING
The rear left and right side belts are
provided with an adjustment device for
the metal tongue position (metal hook). Adjust
the tongue position with respect to the seat belt
to improve comfor t and reduce noise inside
the passenger compar tment .

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);

❒3 = rear centre seat (passenger) (for versions/

markets where provided).
❒5 = front right seat (passenger status for left-hand
drive versions).
Front seats (warning light no. 1 = driver and
no. 5 = passenger)
Driver
If the driver is the only occupant and their seat belt
is not fastened, when 20 km/h is exceeded or when
travelling at a speed between 10 and 20 km/h for
longer than 5 seconds, an acoustic signal cycle will be
started for the front seats (continuous acoustic
signal for 6 seconds followed by a 90 second beep).
The warning light will flash. Once the cycle is
complete, the warning lights stay on with a fixed light
until the car is turned off or the seat belt fastened.
If the seat belt is unfastened again while travelling,
the acoustic reminder resumes as described
previously and icon A
fig. 92 switches on.
Passenger
A similar situation applies to the front passenger. The
indication is also interrupted when the passenger
leaves the car.
If both front seat belts are unfastened while the car
is travelling a few seconds apart, the acoustic
indication will refer to the most recent event and the
two warning lights will proceed with the visual
indication independently.

Rear seats (warning light no. 2, no. 3 and no. 4)
For the rear seats, the reminder cycle is only
activated when any seat belt is unfastened together
with an acoustic signal (three beeps) (icon A
fig. 92). If the condition of any (front or rear) seat
belt changes, also the condition of the other
(front/rear) seat belts is reported.
The visual indication (icon A
fig. 92) will start and
stop independently for each warning light if several
seat belts are unfastened. The visual signal will
change condition (icon B
fig. 92) after the
corresponding seat has been fastened again.
IMPORTANT When the ignition key is turned to
MAR, if all the front and rear belts are already
fastened the warning lights will remain in position B
fig. 92 for 30 seconds.
IMPORTANT When the ignition key is turned to
MAR, the belts fastened icons will remain in position
B
fig. 92, whilst the belts unfastened icons will
be displayed as in position A
of fig. 92. If the last
belt is also fastened, the icons will remain in position
B
fig. 92 for 30 seconds then they will switch off.
PRETENSIONERSThe car is equipped with front seat belt
pretensioners, which draw back the seat belts by
several centimetres in the event of a strong 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 operated when the belt
withdraws towards the reel. 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 pretensioning
device, 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.
