SBR SYSTEM
Seat belt reminder
(where provided)
If the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is
put in ON while the driver's and the
front passenger's seat belt is not
fastened, the warning lamp comes on
and the tone sounds for about
6 seconds to remind the driver and the
front passenger to fasten the seat belt.
If the vehicle is driven with the seat belt
still unfastened, the warning lamp will
blink and the tone will sound
intermittently until the seat belt is
fastened.
63)
NOTE If the seat belt subsequently
remains unfastened, the warning lamp
and the tone will issue further warningseach time the vehicle starts moving
from a stop.
For the front passenger seat, the
warning function works only while a
person is sitting on the seat (Double
cab).
When the luggage is placed on the
front passenger seat, a sensor in the
seat cushion may, depending on the
weight and position of the luggage,
cause the warning tone to sound and
the warning lamp to come on (Double
cab).
Adjustable seat belt anchor (front
seats on Club cab and Double cab)
The seat belt anchor height can be
adjusted. To move the anchor, pull the
lock knob (A) and slide the anchor to
the desired position. Release the lock
knob to lock the anchor into position.
118)
Lap belts
The lap belts should be adjusted by
holding the belt and latch plate at right
angles to each other, and then pulling
the belt as shown in the illustration to a
snug fit around the occupant.

PRETENSIONERS
AND FORCE LIMITER
SYSTEM
(where provided)
119) 120) 121) 122)
64) 65) 66) 67)
The driver’s and front passenger’s seat
equipped with airbags each have a
pretensioner seat belt and force limiter
system.
Pretensioner system
When the ignition switch or the
operation mode is under the following
conditions, if there is a frontal impact or
a side impact (vehicles equipped with
SRS side airbags and SRS curtain
airbags) severe enough to injure the
driver and/or front passenger, the
pretensioner system will retract their
respective seat belts instantaneously,
thus maximizing the seat belt’s
effectiveness.
Except for vehicles equipped with the
keyless operation system: the ignition
switch is in the “ON” or “START”
position.
Vehicles equipped with the keyless
operation system: the operation mode
is in ON.
NOTE The pretensioner seat belts will
be activated if the vehicle suffers a
severe impact, even if the seat belts are
not worn.NOTE The pretensioner seat belts are
designed to work only once. After the
pretensioner seat belts have been
activated, we recommend you to have
them replaced by a Fiat Dealership.
SRS warning lamp (where provided)
This warning lamp is shared by the SRS
airbags and the pre-tensioner seat
belts. Refer to “SRS warning lamp”.
Force limiter system
In the event of a collision, each force
limiter system will effectively absorb the
load applied to the seat belt so as to
minimize the impact to the passenger.
WARNING
119)The pretensioner may be used only
once. After it is triggered, have it replaced
at a Fiat Dealership.
120)Removing or otherwise tampering
with pretensioner and seat belt
components is strictly prohibited. Any
intervention on these components must be
performed by qualified and authorised
technicians. Always go to a Fiat Dealership.
121)For maximum safety, keep the
backrest upright, lean back into it and
make sure the seat belt fits closely across
your chest and pelvis. Always fasten the
seat belts for both the front and rear seats!
Travelling without wearing seat belts will
increase the risk of serious injury and even
death in the event of an accident.
106
SAFETY

122)If the belt has been subjected to high
levels of stress, for example after an
accident, it should be changed completely
together with the attachments, attachment
fixing screws and the pretensioner. In fact,
even if the belt has no visible defects, it
may have lost its resilience.
IMPORTANT
64)To obtain the best results from your
pretensioner seat belt, make sure you have
adjusted your seat correctly and wear your
seat belt properly.
65)Installation of audio equipment or
repairs in the vicinity of the pretensioner
seat belts or floor console must be
performed in line with FCA Italy S.p.A.
guidelines. It is important to do so because
the work could affect the pretensioner
systems.
66)If you need to scrap the vehicle, please
consult a Fiat Dealership. It is important to
do so because unexpected activation of
the pretensioner seat belts could cause
injuries.
67)Operations which lead to impacts,
vibrations or localised heating (over 100°C
for a maximum of six hours) in the area
around the pretensioners may damage or
accidentally deploy them. Contact a Fiat
Dealership should intervention be
necessary on these components.
CHILD RESTRAINT
When transporting children in your
vehicle, some type of child restraint
system should always be used
according to the size of the child. This
is required by law in most countries.
The regulations concerning driving with
children in the front seat may differ from
country to country. You are advised to
comply with the relevant regulations.
123) 124) 125) 126) 127)
Caution for installing the child
restraint on vehicle with front
passenger airbag
The label shown here is attached on
vehicles with front passenger airbag.

NOTE The labels may be in different
positions depending on the vehicle
model.Infants and small children
When transporting infants and small
children in your vehicle, follow the
instruction given below.
185AHA105668
186AHA100588
187AHA100591
107

Instructions:For small infants, an infant carrier
should be used. For small children
whose height when seated allows the
shoulder belt to lie in contact with the
face or the throat, a child seat should
be used.
The child restraint system should be
appropriate for your child’s weight and
height and properly fit the vehicle. For a
higher degree of safety THE CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM SHOULD BE
INSTALLED IN THE REAR SEAT
(Double cab and Club cab).
Before purchasing a child restraint
system, try installing it in the seat to
make sure there is a good fit. Because
of the location of the seat belt buckles
and the shape of the seat cushion, it
may be difficult to securely install some
manufacturer’s child restraint systems.
If the child restraint system can bepulled forward or to either side easily on
the seat cushion after the seat belt has
been tightened, choose another
manufacturer’s child restraint system.
138) 139) 140)
Older children
Children who have outgrown the child
restraint system should be seated in the
rear seat and wear combination lap
shoulder belt. The lap portion of the belt
should be snug and positioned low on
the abdomen so that it is below the top
of the hip-bone. Otherwise, the belt
could intrude into the child’s abdomen
during an accident and cause injury.
WARNING
123)Fit the child restraint system only
when the vehicle is stationary.
124)When possible, put children in the
rear seat. Accident statistics indicate that
children of all sizes and ages are safer
when properly restrained in the rear seat
rather than in the front seat (Club cab and
Double cab).
125)Holding a child in your arms is no
substitute for a restraint system. Failure to
use a proper restraint system can result in
severe or fatal injury to your child.
126)Each child restraint device or fixing is
to be used only by one child.127)Incorrect fitting of the child restraint
system may result in an inefficient
protection system. In the event of an
accident the child restraint system may
become loose and the child may be
injured, even fatally. When fitting a restraint
system for newborns or children, strictly
comply with the instructions provided by
the Manufacturer.
128)On the sun visor there is a label with
suitable symbols reminding the user that it
is compulsory to deactivate the airbag if a
rearward facing child restraint system is
fitted. Always comply with the instructions
on the passenger side sun visor (see the
"Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) -
Airbag" paragraph).
129)Extreme Hazard! NEVER use a
rearward facing child restraint on a seat
protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of
it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the
CHILD can occur.
130)When attaching a child restraint
system to the rear seat, prevent the front
seat from touching the child restraint
system. Otherwise, the child could be
seriously injured in the event of hard
braking or a collision (Club cab and Double
cab).
131)On vehicles with an airbag for the
front passenger, a REARWARD FACING
CHILD RESTRAINT must NOT be used in
the front passenger seat as it places an
infant too close to the passenger airbag.
The force of an inflating airbag could kill or
cause serious injuries to the child. A
rearward facing child restraint must only be
used in the rear seat. (Club cab and
Double cab).
188AA0059891
108
SAFETY

132)Do not move the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated
child restraint system.
133)A FORWARD FACING CHILD
RESTRAINT should be used in the rear
seat whenever possible; if it must be used
in the front passenger seat, adjust the seat
to the most rearward position. Failure to do
so could kill or cause serious injuries to the
child.
134)Always make sure that the diagonal
section of the seat belt does not pass
under the arms or behind the back of the
child. In the event of an accident the seat
belt will not be able to secure the child,
with the risk of injury, including fatal injury.
Therefore the child must always wear the
seat belt correctly.
135)Do not use the same lower
anchorage to install more than one child
restraint system.
136)If a Universal ISOFIX child seat system
is not fixed to all three anchorages, it will
not be able to protect the child correctly. In
a crash, the child could be seriously or
fatally injured. 86)
137)Fit the child restraint system when the
car is stationary. The child restraint system
is correctly fixed to the brackets when you
hear the click. Follow the instructions for
assembly, disassembly and positioning that
the Manufacturer must supply with the
child restraint system.
138)After installation, push and pull the
child restraint system back and forth, and
side to side, to see that it is positively
secured. If the child restraint system is not
installed securely, it may cause injury to the
child or other occupants in the case of
accident or sudden stops.139)When the child restraint system is not
in use, keep your child restraint system
secured with the seat belt or remove it
from the vehicle in order to prevent it from
being thrown around inside the vehicle
during an accident.
140)After installing a child restraint system,
do not move the seat: always remove the
child restraint system before making any
adjustment.
