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.

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.

Operations which lead to im-
pacts, vibrations or localised
heating (over 100°C for a maximum of
six hours) in the area around the pre-
tensioners may damage or deploy
them. Contact a Fiat Dealership should
intervention be necessary on these
components.
WARNING
PRETENSIONERSTo increase the efficiency of the front seat
belts, the vehicle is equipped with pre-
tensioners, that reduce slack in the belts
in the event of a severe frontal impact.
This guarantees the perfect adherence of
the seat belts to the occupants’ bodies be-
fore the restraining action begins.
It is evident that the pretensioners have
been activated when the belt withdraws
towards the retractor.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest de-
gree of protection from the action of the
pretensioner, wear the seat belt tight to
the chest and pelvis. A slight discharge of
smoke may be produced during the acti-
vation of the pretensioner. This smoke is
not harmful and does not involve any fire
hazard. The pretensioner does not require
any maintenance or lubrication. Any
changes to its original conditions will in-
validate its efficiency. If, due to unusual nat-
ural events (floods, sea storms, etc.), the
device has been affected by water and
mud, it must be replaced.
The pretensioner may be
used only once. Contact a Fi-
at Dealership to have it replaced af-
ter it has been deployed.
WARNING
SBR SYSTEMThe vehicle is equipped with the SBR (Seat
Belt Reminder) system, which consists in
a device which, in conjunction with the
warning light coming on, warns the dri-
ver and front passenger that their seat
belts have not been fastened.

HOW TO MAINTAIN THE SEAT
BELTS IN EFFICIENT
CONDITIONS
For keeping the seat belts in efficient con-
ditions, carefully observe the following:❒
always use the seat belt with the strap
well stretched and not twisted; make
sure that it is free to run without ob-
structions;
❒
check seat belt operation as follows: at-
tach the seat belt and pull it hard
❒replace the belt after an accident of a cer-
tain severity even if it does not appear to
be damaged. Always replace the seat belt
if the pretensioners were deployed;
❒to clean the seat belts, wash by hand with
water and neutral soap, rinse and leave to
dry in the shade. Do not use strong de-
tergents, bleach, colouring agents or any
other substance which could damage the
belt fibres;
❒prevent the retractors from getting wet:
their correct operation is only guaranteed
if water does not get inside;
❒replace the seat belt when it shows wear
or cuts.
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 pelvis. Always fasten the seat belts
on both the front and the rear seats!
Travelling without wearing the seat
belts will increase the risk of serious in-
jury and even death in the event of an
accident.
WARNING
Removing or otherwise tam-
pering with seat belt and
pretensioner components is strictly
prohibited. Any operations on these
components must be performed by
qualified and authorised technicians.
Always contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
If the belt has been subject-
ed to a high level of stress,
for example after an accident, it must
be completely replaced together with
the attachments, attachment fixing
screws and the pretensioner. In fact,
even if the belt has no visible defects,
it could have lost its resilience.
WARNING
Each seat belt must be used
by only one person. Never
travel with a child sitting on the pas-
senger’s lap and a single belt to pro-
tect them both. In general, do not
place any objects between the person
and the belt.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
If, when the key is turned to
M, the
¬warning light does
not switch on or stays on whilst dri-
ving, a fault may have occurred in the
restraint systems. In this case the
airbags or pretensioners may not be
deployed in an impact or, in a lower
number of cases, they may be de-
ployed accidentally. Before continu-
ing, contact a Fiat Dealership imme-
diately to have the system checked.
WARNING
For versions/markets where
provided, if warning lights
¬
and
“
stay on constantly contact a
Fiat Dealership for immediate check
of the system.
WARNING
IMPORTANT Do not wash the seats with
water or pressurised steam (by hand or at
automatic seat washing stations).
IMPORTANT The front airbags and/or
side bags may be deployed if the car is sub-
ject to violent impacts involving the un-
derbody area (e.g. violent impacts against
steps or kerbs, big holes or dips in the
road, etc.).
IMPORTANT When the airbag deploys it
emits a small amount of dust. The dust is
not harmful and does not indicate the be-
ginning of a fire. Furthermore, the surface
of the deployed bag and the interior of the
vehicle may be covered with a dusty
residue: this may irritate your skin and
eyes. Wash with mild soap and water in
the event of exposure.
IMPORTANT Airbag checking, repair and
replacement must be carried out at a Fi-
at Dealership.
IMPORTANT If the vehicle is scrapped,
have the airbag system deactivated at a Fi-
at Dealership.IMPORTANT Pretensioners, front airbags
and front side bags are deployed in differ-
ent ways, according to the type of impact.
Failure to deploy of one or more of the
devices does not indicate a system mal-
function.
Warning light
¬flashes to in-
dicate a failure of the
“
warning light: in this case, the py-
rotechnic charges of the passenger
airbag are deactivated (for versions/
markets, where provided). Contact a
Fiat Dealership immediately to have
the system checked.
WARNING
When the ignition key is
turned to M-ON, the warn-
ing light “
(with front passenger
airbag active) switches on and flashes
for a few seconds to remind you that
the passenger airbag will be deployed
in an impact, after which it should
switch off.WARNING
Do not cover the backrest of
the front seats with covers or
upholstery that are not suitable for use
with side bags.

DEVICES
If the vehicle has been stolen
or in the case of attempt to
steal it, if it has been subjected to
vandalism or floods, have the airbag
system checked by a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
The airbags may also be de-
ployed when the car is not
moving, if the key is in the ig-
nition and turned to M-ON
or when the engine is off, if
the car is hit by another
moving vehicle. Therefore, even if the
car is stationary,when an active pas-
senger airbag is fitted, DO NOT in-
stall on the passenger seat child re-
straint systems to be fitted rearward
facing on the front seat. Deployment
of the airbag following an impact
could cause fatal injuries to the child.
Therefore, always release the pas-
senger airbag when a rearward fac-
ing child restraint is installed on the
passenger front seat.The front pas-
senger seat must also be positioned
back as far as possible in order to
avoid the child restraint from coming
into contact with the dashboard. Im-
mediately reactivate the passenger
airbag as soon as the child restraint
system has been removed. Also re-
member that, if the key is turned to
S, none of the safety devices (airbags
or pretensioners) will be deployed in
the event of collision. Non-deploy-
ment of these devices does not indi-
cate a system malfunction.
WARNING
The airbag deployment
threshold is higher than that
of the pretensioners. For collisions in
the range between the two thresholds,
it is normal for only the pretensioners
to be activated.
WARNING
The airbag does not replace
the seat belts but increases
their efficiency. Because front airbags
are not deployed for low-speed im-
pacts, side collisions, rear-end shunts
or rollovers, in these cases occupants
are protected only by their seat belts,
which must therefore always be fas-
tened.
WARNING
Do not travel carrying objects
in your lap, in front of your
chest or between your lips (pipe, pen-
cils, etc.). They could cause severe in-
jury if the airbag is deployed.

follows:
❒when driving normally: stop the
car, switch off the engine and check
that the water level in the reservoir
is not below the MINmark. If it is,
wait for the engine to cool down,
then slowly and carefully open the
cap, top up with coolant and check
that the level is between the MIN
and MAXmarks on the reservoir.
Also check visually for any fluid leaks.
If, when restarting, the warning light
comes on again, contact a Fiat
Dealership;
