The reel may lock when the car is parked
on a steep slope: this is perfectly normal.
Furthermore, the reel mechanism locks
the belt if it is pulled and in the event of
sudden braking, collisions and on high
speed bends.
The rear seat is fitted with inertial seat
belts with three anchor points and reel.
S.B.R. SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The car is provided with the S.B.R. (Seat
Belt Reminder) system, which warns the
driver and the front passenger if the seat
belt is not buckled, as follows:
❒ warning light
<
turns on steady and
continuous activation of the beeper for
the first 6 seconds;
❒ warning light <
blinks and intermittent
activation of the beeper for the next 96
seconds;
For permanent deactivation, contact Fiat
Dealership.
the S.B.R. system CAN also be reset
through the set-up menu.
SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS fig. 1
Wear the belt keeping the chest straight
and rested against the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue
A and insert it into the buckle B, until
hearing the locking click. At removal, if it
jams, let it rewind for a short stretch, then
pull it out again without jerking.
Press button C to release the belt. Ac-
company the belt while it is being re-
wound to prevent twisting. Through the
reel, the belt automatically adapts to the
body of the passenger wearing it, allowing
freedom of movement.
fig. 1 F0S0077m
Never press button C when
travelling.
WARNING
Remember that, in the event
of a violent collision, the
passengers of the rear seats who do
wear seat belts, besides exposing
themselves to a significant danger,
represent a danger for the passengers
of the front seats.
