WARNING

The belt should not be twisted. The upper part should pass over the shoulder and
cross the chest diagonally. The lower part should adhere to the pelvis and not the
abdomen of the passenger. Do not use any objects (pegs, stoppers, etc.) to keep the
belts away from the body.

WARNING

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 hips. Make sure that the seat
belts of the front and rear passengers are fastened at all times! You increase the risk
of serious injury or death in a collision if you travel with the belts unfastened.

WARNING

Under no circumstances should the components of the seat belts and
pretensioners be tampered with or removed. Any operation should be carried
out by qualified and authorised personnel. Always contact a Fiat Dealership.

WARNING

Never travel with a child sitting on the passenger’s lap with a single belt to protect
them both. Do not fasten other objects to the body.

WARNING

If the belt has been subjected to heavy stress, for example after an accident, it
should be changed completely together with the anchors, anchor fastening screws
and the pretensioners. In fact, even if the belt has no visible defects, it could have
lost its resilience.
