PRETENSIONERS
AND FORCE LIMITER
SYSTEM
(where provided)
132) 133) 134) 135) 136)
69) 70) 71) 72)
The front seat belts each have a
pre-tensioner system and force limiter
system (Single cab and Club cab).
The front seat belts and the rear outer
seat belts each have a pre-tensioner
system and force limiter system (Double
cab).
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, or when
a rollover or overturning of the vehicle is
detected (if so equipped), 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
132)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. 158. In general, do
not place any objects between the person
and the belt.
133)The pretensioner may be used only
once. After it is triggered, have it replaced
at a Fiat Dealership.
134)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.135)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.
136)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
69)To obtain the best results from your
pretensioner seat belt, make sure you have
adjusted your seat correctly and wear your
seat belt properly.
70)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.
71)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.

SAFETY

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.
When the airbag control unit detects
rollover of the vehicle, curtain airbags
will be deployed (if so equipped).
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
temporary irritation from chemicals
used to produce the deployment; open
the windows after airbag deployment, if
safe to do so.
The airbags deflate very rapidly after
deployment, so there is little danger of
obscured vision.

Fuel injection amount learning
process
To keep exhaust emissions and engine
noise low, the engine very occasionally
performs a learning process for the fuel
injection amount.
The engine sounds slightly different
from usual while the learning process is
taking place. The change in the engine
sound does not indicate a fault.
If the keyless operation key is not
operating properly
Insert the keyless operation key into the
key slot. Starting the engine and
changing the operation mode should be
now possible.
Remove the keyless operation key from
the key slot after starting the engine or
changing the operation mode.
NOTE Do not insert into the key slot
anything other than the keyless
operation key. This could cause
damage or a malfunction.NOTE Remove the object or additional
key from the keyless operation key
before inserting the key into the key
slot. The vehicle may not be able to
receive the registered ID code from the
registered key. Therefore, the engine
may not start and the operation mode
may not change.
NOTE The keyless operation key is
fixed, if the key is inserted in the key
slot as illustrated. When pulling out the
key, pull out in the state.
Keyless operation key reminder*
(Where provided)
If the operation mode is in OFF and the
driver’s door is opened with the keyless
operation key in the key slot, the
warning lamp will blink and the outer
buzzer sounds for approximately
3 seconds and the inner buzzer sounds
for approximately 1 minute to remind
you to remove the key.
IMPORTANT
89)In some cases, when the engine
switches off, the fan could activate for max.
120 seconds.
90)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
especially damaging to turbocharged
engines.
91)Never start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. This could cause
fuel to flow into the catalytic converter and
damage it beyond repair.
92)Remember that the brake servo and
power steering are not operational until the
engine has been started, so you need to
apply much more force than usual to the
brake pedal and steering wheel.
93)It is advisable not to demand maximum
performance from your vehicle (e.g.
excessive acceleration, long distances at
high speeds, excessively intense braking,
etc.) during the initial period of use.
94)Release the ignition key as soon as the
engine starts to avoid damaging the starter
motor.
95)Never attempt to start the engine by
pushing or pulling the vehicle.
96)Do not run the engine at high speeds or
drive the vehicle at high speeds until the
engine has had a chance to warm up.
97)If your vehicle is equipped with a
turbocharger, do not stop the engine
immediately after high-speed or uphill
driving. First allow the engine to idle to give
the turbocharger a chance to cool down.
