SAFETY
SEAT BELTSUSING THE SEAT BELTS
Wear the belt keeping the torso upright and rested
against the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue A fig. 97and
insert it into the buckle B, until the locking click is
heard.
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.
WARNING
Never press button C fig. 97 when
travelling.
Through the reel, the belt automatically adapts to
the body of the passenger wearing it, allowing
freedom of movement.
The reel may lock up when the vehicle 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.
All rear seats are fitted with inertia seat belts with
three anchor points and a reel.
WARNING
Remember that , in the event of a violent
collision, back seat passengers not
wearing seat belts represent a serious danger
for the front seat passengers as well as for
themselves.

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 hips. Always fasten the seat belts
on both the front and the rear seats! Travelling
without seat belts will increase the risk of
severe injur y and even death in the event of an
accident .
WARNING
Never disassemble or tamper with the
seat belt or pretensioner components. All
operations must be performed by qualified and
authorised personnel. Always go to a Fiat
Dealership.
WARNING
If the belt has been subjected to heavy
stress, for example after an accident ,
it should be changed completely together with
the anchors, anchor fastening screws and the
pretensioner. In fact , even if the belt has no
visible defects, it could have lost its resilience.
IMPORTANT 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. 102. In general, do not place any objects
between the person and the belt.

All restraint devices must bear the type-approval
data along with the control mark on a label firmly
secured to the child seat which must never be
removed.
Over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of
restraint systems, children are considered as adults
and wear seat belts normally.
Lineaccessori Fiat has child seats for each weight
group. These devices are recommended, having been
specifically designed for Fiat cars.
WARNING
DANGER: Do not put cradle seats facing
backwards on the front seat if the front
passenger air bag is enabled.
Deployment of the air bag in an
accident could cause fatal injuries to the child.
It is advisable to carr y children on the rear seat ,
which is the most protected position in the
event of an accident . Child seats must not be
fitted on the front seat of vehicles with a
passenger air bag; their deployment in
an accident , however serious, could cause fatal
injuries to the child. If necessary, children can
travel in the front seat , if the front passenger air
bag can be disabled. In this case, check that
the air bag is actually deactivated by making
sure the “ warning light appears on the
instrument panel (see “Front passenger air bag”
in the “Front air bags” section). Also, the
passenger seat should be as far back as possible
to avoid contact between the child seat and
the dashboard.
