adjusted manually or automatically.
MANUAL ADJUSTMENT
The controls fig.109are located in the

adjustment procedure with
doors open, make sure there
is enough space around the
vehicle.
First-time use
To initialize the system, keep pushbutton
C-fig.109pressed for 2 seconds
Operating faults
If, when acting on the controls, the sus-
pensions do not adjust, 3 acoustic warn-
ings indicate a system malfunction.
This malfunction could be due to one of
these causes:❒
the brake pedal is pressed and the ig-
nition key is in Mposition
❒
excessive use of the system manual ad-
justment;
❒
the battery is low (or completely dis-
charged);
❒
a tire suspension system error.
If the acoustic warning persists, contact
the Fiat Dealership. The required height level should be set
with vehicle at a standstill and engine run-
ning or off.
With engine off, manual adjustment is on-
ly possible for a restricted number of
times.
IMPORTANT Only make adjustments
with vehicle stationary and:
❒
front and side doors closed;
❒
handbrake engaged;
❒
without pressing the brake pedal.

SEAT BELTSUSING 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 tongueAand insert it into the buckle B
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
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.

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 gripAand raise or lower the cursor.

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.
The three seats of the bench (long cab
chassis versions) have seat belts with reels.
The seat belts are integral with the back-
rest of the bench seat. Be careful and fas-
ten the seat belt in the corresponding
locking device.
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.
