The belt should not be twist-
ed. 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 up-

right, 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 pas-
sengers 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 op-
eration should be carried out by qual-
ified and authorised personnel. Al-
ways contact a Fiat Dealership.

WARNING

If the belt has been subject-
ed to heavy stress, for ex-

ample 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.

WARNING

Never travel with a child sit-
ting on the passenger’s lap

with a single belt to protect them
both. Do not fasten other objects to
the body.

WARNING

Of course they must position the lower
part of the belt very low down so that it
passes under the abdomen (fig. 7).
