SAFETY DEVICES
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest degree of
protection from the action of the pretensioning device,
wear the seat belt keeping it firmly close to the chest
and pelvis.
A small amount of smoke may be produced. This
smoke is in no way toxic and presents no fire hazard.
The pretensioner does not require any maintenance
or greasing. Anything that modifies its original
conditions invalidates its efficiency. If due to unusual
natural events (floods, seas storm, etc.) the device has
been affected by water and mud, it must necessarily be
replaced.
LOAD LIMITING DEVICES
To increase passenger’s safety, the front side seat belt
reels have a built-in load limiting device which allows
controlled sag in such a way as to dose the force
acting on the shoulders during the belt restraining
action in case of front crash.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE USE OF THE SEAT BELTS
The driver must comply with (and have the car
occupants follow) all the local law regulations
concerning the use of seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before starting.
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.
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.
