WARNING

For maximum safety, keep the backrest
upright, lean back into it and make

sure the seat belt fits closely across your chest
and pelvis. Always fasten the seat belts on
both the front and the rear seats! Travelling
without wearing seat belts will increase the risk
of serious injury and even death in the event
of an accident. Removing or otherwise

tampering with seat belt and pretensioner
components is strictly prohibited. Any
operations on these components must be
performed by qualified and authorised
technicians. Always go to a Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT The belt must not be twisted. The
upper part must pass over the shoulder and cross
the chest diagonally. The lower part must adhere to
the pelvis (as shown in fig. 79) rather than the
abdomen of the occupant. Never use devices (clips,
clamps, etc.) to hold the seat belt away from your
body.

IMPORTANT Each seat belt must be used by only
one person. Never travel with a child sitting on the
passenger's lap and a single belt to protect them
both fig. 80. In general, do not place any objects
between the person and the belt.
