This warning is displayed also when
turning the engine off and on again until
the RESET procedure is carried out.
Reset procedure
The iTPMS needs an initial
"self-learning" phase (with length
depending on the driving style and road
conditions: optimal conditions being
driving on a straight road at 80 km/h for
at least 20 minutes) which starts when
the RESET procedure is carried out.
The RESET procedure must be carried
out:
each time tyre pressure is modified;
when even only one tyre is changed;
when tyres are rotated/inverted;
when the space-saver wheel is fitted.
Before carrying out the RESET
procedure, inflate the tyres to the rated
pressure values specified in the inflation
pressure table (see "Wheels" paragraph
in the "Technical specifications"
chapter).
If the RESET procedure is not carried
out, in all above cases, the
warning
light may give false indications on one
or more tyres.
To carry out the RESET, with the vehicle
stationary and the engine on, hold
down the Reset button
located on
the left control panel fig. 69 for at least
2 seconds.When the RESET procedure has been
carried out, and depending on the type
of instrument panel, either only a buzzer
will be heard or the message "Reset
saved" will appear together with the
buzzer to indicate that self-learning has
started.
Operating conditions
The system is active for speeds above
15 km/h.
In a few situations such as sporty
driving, particular conditions of the road
surface (e.g. icy, snowy, unsurfaced
roads) the signalling may be delayed or
partial in detecting the contemporary
deflation of more than one tyre.
Under special conditions (e.g. car
loaded asymmetrically on one side,
towing a trailer, damaged or worn tyre,
fitting the space-saver spare wheel, use
of the "Fix&Go" tyre repair kit, fittingsnow chains, fitting different tyres on
the axles) the system may provide false
indications or be temporarily
deactivated.
If the system is temporarily deactivated
the
warning light flashes for about
75 seconds and then is continuously
on; at the same time, the display shows
a warning message.
This warning is displayed also after the
engine has been switched off and then
on again if the correct operating
conditions are not restored.
In the case of abnormal signals, it is
recommended to perform the RESET
procedure. If the warnings reappear
once the RESET procedure has started,
check that the same type of tyre is used
on all four wheels and that the tyres are
not damaged; if the space-saver spare
wheel is being used, refit a wheel with a
tyre of normal dimensions in place of
the space-saver wheel as soon as
possible; if possible remove the snow
chains; make sure that the load is
distributed correctly and repeat the
RESET procedure, driving on a clean
and surfaced road. If the signals persist,
contact a Fiat Dealership.

WARNING
70)Never press button 3 when travelling.
71)Remember that, in the event of an
accident, the rear seat passengers not
wearing seat belts are exposed to a very
serious risk and also represent a serious
danger for the front seat occupants.
72)Make height adjustment of the seat
belts when the car is stationary.
73)After the height adjustment, always
check that the grip is locked in one of the
preset positions. To do this, with buttons
1 released, exert further pressure
downwards to allow the locking device to
click if the grip has not been released in
one of the possible positions.
SBR (SEAT BELT
REMINDER) SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The SBR system warns the passengers
of the front and rear (where provided)
seats if their seat belt is not fastened.
The system signals unfastened seat
belts with visual warnings (warning light
on the instrument panel and symbols
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 Menu (see the "Display"
paragraph in the “Knowing the
instrument panel” chapter).
FRONT SEAT BELT
WARNING LIGHT
BEHAVIOUR
When the ignition device is turned to
MAR, the warning light
(see
fig. 74 for versions with multifunctional
display or fig. 75 for versions with
reconfigurable multifunctional display)
comes on for a few seconds,
regardless of the status of the front seat
belts.With vehicle at a standstill, if the driver
side seat belt or the passenger side
seat belt (for versions/markets, where
provided) is unfastened (with occupant
seated), the warning light stays on
constantly.
7406066J0001EM
75P2000037-000-000
81
As soon as the threshold of 8 km/h is
exceeded for a few seconds with driver
or passenger side seat belts (for
versions/markets, where provided)
unfastened, an acoustic warning is
activated together with the flashing of
the
warning light for approximately
105 seconds.
When this cycle of warnings is activated
it will stay on for its entire length
(regardless of the vehicle speed) or until
the seat belts are fastened again.
The passenger side indication (for
versions/markets, where provided) is
interrupted also if the passenger leaves
the vehicle.
When the reverse is engaged, during
the cycle of warnings, the acoustic
signal is deactivated and the
warning light turns on constantly.
The cycle of warnings will be
reactivated as soon as speed exceeds
8 km/h again.
OPERATION OF REAR
SEAT BELT SYMBOLS
The icons are shown on the display
(fig. 76 versions with multifunction
display or fig. 77 versions with
reconfigurable multifunction display)
after a few seconds have elapsed since
the ignition device is turned to MAR.
The symbols are displayed according to
the corresponding seat belts and turn
off at least 30 seconds after the doors
have been closed or after a change in
the seat belt fastening status.
for versions with multifunction display:
seat belt unfastened
seat belt fastened
for versions with reconfigurable
multifunction display:
seat belt unfastened
seat belt fastened
The symbols shown on the display
indicate:
A: rear left seat belt;
B: rear central seat belt;
C: rear right seat belt.

SAFETY
If a rear seat belt is unfastened, an
acoustic warning warning (3 "beeps")
will be activated along with the relevant
symbol lighting up on the display.
Furthermore the symbols will light up
again for 30 seconds each time one of
the rear doors is closed.
The symbol will change status after the
corresponding seat belt has been
fastened again.After about 30 seconds from the last
warning, the rear seat symbols will
switch off, irrespective of the seat belt
status.
IMPORTANT NOTES
As far as the rear seats are concerned,
the SBR system will only indicate
whether the seat belts are unfastened
or fastened, not the presence of any
passengers.
The warning lights/symbols are all off if
all seat belts (front and rear) are
fastened when the ignition device is at
MAR.
For the rear seats, the symbols will
activate a few seconds after the ignition
device has been turned to MAR,
regardless of the status of the seat belts
(even if the seat belts are all fastened).
All the warning lights/symbols will come
on when at least one belt changes from
fastened to unfastened status or vice
versa.
PRE-TENSIONERS
The vehicle is equipped with front seat
belt pretensioners, which draw back the
seat belts by several centimetres in the
event of a strong frontal impact. This
guarantees the perfect adherence of
the seat belts to the occupant's bodies
before the retention action begins.
It is evident that the pretensioners have
been activated when the safety belt
withdraws toward the retractor.
This vehicle is also equipped with a
second pretensioner (in the kick plate
area). Its activation is signalled by the
shortening of the metal cable and rolling
up of the protective sheath.
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/or mud, contact
a Fiat Dealership to have it replaced.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest
degree of protection from the action of
the pretensioner, wear the seat belt
tight to the torso and pelvis.
