SEAT BELTS
To protect you and your passengers in
the event of an accident, it is the most
important that the seat belts be worn
correctly while driving.
The driver’s and front passenger’s seat
belt equipped with an airbag each have
a pre-tensioner system and the rear
seat belts equipped with a dual stage
airbag system each have a
pre-tensioner system. These belts are
used the same way as a conventional
seat belt.
Refer to “Seat belt pre-tensioner
system and force limiter system”.

3-point type seat belt (with
emergency locking mechanism)
This type of belt requires no length
adjustment. Once worn, the belt
adjusts itself to the movement of
wearer, but in the event of a sudden or
strong shock, the belt automatically
locks to hold the wearer’s body.
NOTE You can check if the belt locks
by pulling it forward quickly.To fasten
1. Pull the seat belt out slowly while
holding the latch plate.
NOTE When the seat belts cannot be
pulled out in a locked condition, pull the
belts once forcefully and then return
them. After that, pull the belts out
slowly once again.
2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle
until a “click” is heard.
114)
59) 60)
To unfasten
Hold the latch plate and push the
button on the buckle.NOTE As the belt retracts
automatically, keep the latch plate held
while retracting so that the belt stows
slowly. Failure to do this could damage
the vehicle.
113)
SEAT BELT INSPECTION
Check the belts for cuts, worn or frayed
webbing and for cracked or deformed
metallic parts. Replace the belt
assembly if defective.
A dirty belt should be cleaned with
neutral detergent in warm water. After
rinsing in water, let it dry in the shade.
Do not attempt to bleach or re-dye the
belts because this affects their
characteristics.

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.

SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
AIRBAG
The information for SRS airbags
includes important information
concerning the driver’s and front
passenger’s airbags, the driver’s knee
airbag, the side airbags and the curtain
airbags.
The SRS driver’s and front passenger’s
airbags are designed to supplement the
primary protection of the driver and
front passenger side seat belt systems
by providing those occupants with
protection against head and chest
injuries in certain moderate-to-severe
frontal collisions.
The SRS driver airbag employ a dual
stage airbag system (if so equipped).
The SRS driver and front passenger
airbag is controlled by the impact
sensors (at the front of the vehicle) and
the control unit (near the centre of the
vehicle at floor level).
The SRS driver’s knee airbag (if so
equipped) is designed to supplement
the primary protection of the driver’s
seat belt system. It can reduce the
forward movement of the driver’s lower
legs and provide increased overall body
protection in certain moderate-to-
severe frontal collisions.
The SRS side airbags (if so equipped)
are designed to supplement properly
worn seat belts and provide the driver
and front passenger with protectionagainst chest injuries in certain
moderate-to-severe side impact
collisions.
The SRS curtain airbags (if so
equipped) are designed to supplement
properly worn seat belts and provide
the driver and passenger with
protection against head injuries in
certain moderate-to-severe side impact
collisions.
The SRS is NOT a substitute for the
seat belts. To ensure the maximum
protection during all types of collisions
and accidents, all occupants, including
the passengers as well as the driver,
must wear their seat belts.
How the supplemental restraint
system works
The SRS includes the following
components:
1. Airbag module (Driver)*
2. Airbag module (Passenger)*3. Driver’s knee airbag module*
* If so equipped
4. Side airbag modules*
5. Curtain airbag modules*
* If so equipped
Only when the ignition switch or the
operation mode is under the following
conditions, the airbags will operate.
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.
The airbags deployment produces a
sudden, loud noise, and releases some
smoke and powder, but these
conditions are not injurious, and do not
indicate a fire in the vehicle. People with
respiratory problems may feel some

Deployment of front
airbags and driver’s
knee airbag
The front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY
when…
The front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag are designed to deploy when the
vehicle suffers a moderate to severe
frontal impact. The typical condition is
shown in the illustration.
1. Head-on collision with a solid wall at
speed of approximately 25 km/h or
higher 2. Moderate to severe frontal
impact within the shaded area between
the arrows
The front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag will deploy if the severity of
impact is above the designed threshold
level, comparable to an approximately
25 km/h collision when impacting
straight into a solid wall that does notmove or deform. If the severity of the
impact is below the above threshold
level, the front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag may not deploy. However, this
threshold speed will be considerably
higher if the vehicle strikes an object
that absorbs the impact by either
deforming or moving (for example,
another stationary vehicle, pole or a
guard rail).
Because frontal collisions can easily
move you out of position, it is important
to always properly wear your seat belts.
Your seat belts will help keep you a safe
distance from the steering wheel and
instrument panel during the initial
stages of airbag deployment. The initial
stage of airbag inflation is the most
forceful, and can possibly cause serious
or fatal injuries. Moreover, the seat belts
in your vehicle are your primary means
of protection in a collision. The SRS
airbags are designed to provide
additional protection. Therefore, for your
safety and the safety of all occupants,
be sure to always properly wear your
seat belts.The front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag MAY NOT DEPLOY when…
With certain types of frontal collisions,
the vehicle’s body structure is designed
to absorb the shock to help protect the
occupants from harm. (The vehicle
body’s front area may deform
significantly as it absorbs the impact.)
Under such circumstances, the front
airbags and driver’s knee airbag may
not deploy irrespective of the
deformation and damage to the vehicle
body. Examples of some typical
conditions are shown in the illustration.
1. When colliding with a utility pole,
tree or other narrow object. 2. Vehicle
slides under the rear body of a truck
3. Oblique frontal impacts
Because the front airbags and driver’s
knee airbag do not protect the occupant
in all types of frontal collisions, be sure to
always properly wear your seat belts.

The front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag are not designed to deploy in
conditions where they cannot typically
provide protection to the occupant.
Such conditions are shown in the
illustration.
1. Rear end collisions 2. Side
collisions 3. Vehicle rolls onto its side

Because the front airbags and driver’s
knee airbag do not protect the
occupant in all types of collisions, be
sure to always properly wear your seat
belts.The front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag MAY DEPLOY when…
The front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag may deploy if the bottom of the
vehicle suffers a moderate to severe
impact (undercarriage damage).
Examples of some typical conditions
are shown in the illustration.
1. Collision with an elevated
median/island or kerb 2. Vehicle travels
over a deep hole/pothole 3. Vehicle
drives down a steep slope and hits the
ground
Because the front airbags and driver’s
knee airbag may deploy in certain types
of unexpected impacts as shown in the
illustration that can easily move you out
of position, it is important to always
properly wear your seat belts. Your seat
belts will help keep you a safe distance
from the steering wheel and instrument
panel during the initial stages of airbagdeployment. The initial stage of airbag
inflation is the most forceful and can
possibly cause serious or fatal injuries if
you contact it at this stage.
