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.

103
This car is also equipped with a
second pretensioner (fitted in the kick
plate area). Its activation is signalled by
the shortening of the metal cable.
A slight discharge of smoke may be
produced during the activation of the
pretensioner which 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
invalidate its efficiency.
If, due to unusual natural events
(floods, sea storms, etc.), the device
has been affected by water and mud, it
must be replaced.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest
degree of protection from the action of
the pretensioner, wear the seat belt
tight to the chest and pelvis.LOAD LIMITERS
To increase occupant safety, the seat
belt retractors contain a load limiter to
dose the force acting on the chest and
shoulders during the belt restraining
action in the case of frontal collisions.
GENERAL WARNINGS
FOR USING THE SEAT
BELTS
Seat belts are also to be worn by
pregnant women: the risk of injury in
the case of impact is greatly reduced
for them and the unborn child if they
are wearing a seat belt.
Pregnant women must position the
lower part of the belt very low down so
that it passes over the pelvis and under
the abdomen (see fig. 69). While pregnancy increases, the driver
must adjust both seat and steering
wheel to have full control over the
vehicle (pedals and steering wheel
should be easily accessed).
The maximum clearance should be
kept between the abdomen and the
steering wheel.
The belt must not be twisted.
The upper part must pass over the
shoulder and cross the chest
diagonally. The lower part must adhere
to the hips not to the abdomen.
Never use devices (clips, clamps, etc.)
that hold the seat belt away from your
body fig. 70.

SIDE AIRBAGS
(Side bags - Window bag)25)
To help increase occupants protection
in the event of a side impact, the
vehicle is equipped with front side
bags (for versions/markets, where
provided) and window bag
(for versions/markets, where provided).
Side bags protect occupants from
side-on crashes of medium/high
severity by placing the bag between
the occupant and the internal parts of
the side structure of the vehicle.
Non-activation of side bags in other
types of collisions (front collisions, rear
shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is not a system
malfunction.
