SAFETY

IMPORTANT Each seat belt may only be
used by a single person: do not carry chil-
dren on your lap with one seat belt pro-
tecting both fig. 6. In general, do not pla-
ce any objects between the person and
the belt.

If the belt has been subjected
to heavy stress, for example

after an accident, it should be chan-
ged completely together with the an-
chors, anchor fastening screws and
the pretensioners. In fact, even if the
belt has no visible defects, it could ha-
ve lost its resilience.

WARNING

SEAT BELTS
MAINTENANCE

Observe the following:
❒ always use the belt with the tap well

stretched and never twisted; make su-
re that it is free to run without impe-
diments;

❒ replace the belt after an accident of a

certain severity even if it does not ap-
pear damaged. Always replace the belt
if the pretensioners were deployed.

❒ To clean the belt, wash by hand with

water and mild soap, rinse and leave to
dry in the shade. Do not use strong de-
tergents, bleach, paints or any other
substance which could damage the belt
fibres.

❒ Keep the reels dry: correct operation

may only be ensured if the reels are dry.

❒ Replace the seat belt when showing si-

gnificant wear or cut signs.

For maximum safety, keep
the back of your seat upri-

ght, lean back into it and make sure
the seat belt fits closely across your
chest and hips. Always fasten the seat
belts on both the front and the rear
seats. Travelling without seat belts fa-
stened increases the risk of serious
injuries or even death in the event of
a crash.
Under no circumstances should the
seat belt and pretensioner compo-
nents be removed or tampered with.
All interventions must be performed
by qualified and authorised person-
nel only. Always go to a Fiat Dealer-
ship.
