OCCUPANT
PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety
equipment of the vehicle comprise the
following protection systems:
❒ seat belts;
❒ SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system;
❒ head restraints;
❒ child restraint systems;
❒ front airbags and side bags.
Read the information given the
following pages with the utmost care. It
is of fundamental importance that the
protection systems are used in the
correct way to guarantee the maximum
possible safety level for the driver and
the passengers.
For the description of the head restraint
adjustment see the “Head restraints”
paragraph in the
“Knowing your vehicle”
chapter.
SEAT BELTS AND
PRETENSIONERS
22) 12)
SEAT BELTS
All vehicle seats are equipped with seat
belts with three anchor points and a
retractor.
The retractor mechanism operates
locking the belt in the event of sharp
braking or strong deceleration due to
an impact.
This allows the belt strap to slide freely
and to adapt to the body of the
occupant. In the event of an accident,
the belt will lock reducing the risk of
impact inside the passenger
compartment and of being projected
outside the vehicle.
The driver is responsible for respecting,
and ensuring that all the other
occupants of the vehicle also respect,
the local laws in force in relation to the
use of the seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.
Using the seat belts
The belt should be worn keeping the
torso straight and rested against the
backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold tongue A
fig. 60 and insert it into buckle B until it
locks into place.
On removal, if the belt jams, let it
rewind for a short stretch, then pull it
out again without jerking.

Press button C fig. 67 to release the
belt.
Guide the belt while it is rewinding to
prevent it from twisting.
The retractor may lock when the
vehicle is parked on a steep slope: this
is perfectly normal.
Furthermore, the reel mechanism locks
the belt if it is pulled sharply or in the
event of sudden braking, collisions and
high-speed bends.
The rear seat is fitted with inertia seat
belts with three anchor points and a
retractor.
NOTE Wear the rear seat belts as
shown in fig. 68.
67DVDF0S041c
IMPORTANT When putting the seats
back to their normal position, make
sure the seat belts are positioned so
they are ready to use.
SBR SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The SBR system warns the
passengers of the front and rear (for
versions/markets, where provided)
seats if their seat belt is not fastened.
The system signals unfastened seat
belts with visual warnings (warning
lights on in the instrument panel and
icons on the display) and an acoustic
signal (see the following paragraphs).
NOTE Contact a Fiat Dealership to
deactivate this acoustic warning
permanently. The acoustic warning can
be reactivated at any time through the
display Setup Menu.
68DVDF0S0056c
Seat belts warning
light operation
The system warns the driver and the
front passenger if their seat belt is not
fastened, as follows:
❒ flashing
intermittent acoustic warning for
about 100 seconds.
❒ once the cycle has finished, the
warning light remains on constantly
until the seat belts are fastened.
PRE-TENSIONERS
The car is equipped with front seat belt
pretensioners, which in the event of a
major frontal impact guarantee the
perfect adherence of the seat belts to
the occupant’s bodies before the
retention action begins.
