System Fault Message
If the system switches off and a
dedicated message is shown on the
display, it means that there is a fault on
the system.
In this case, it is still possible to drive
the vehicle, but you are advised to
contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
IMPORTANT
32) The camera may have limited
or absent operation due to weather
conditions such as: heavy rain, hail, thick
fog, heavy snow, formation of ice layers on
the windscreen glass.

compromised by the presence of
dust, condensation, dirt or ice on the
windscreen glass, by traffic conditions
(e.g. vehicles that are driving not aligned
with yours, of vehicle in a transverse or
opposite way on the same lane, bend
with a narrow radius of curvature), by
road surface conditions and by driving
conditions (e.g. off-road driving). Make

PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety
equipment of the vehicle comprises the
following protection systems:
seat belts; SBR (Seat Belt Reminder)
system;
head restraints;

Front airbags and side bags.

SEAT BELTS
IN BRIEF
All the seats in the vehicle are
equipped with seat belts with three
anchoring points and a retractor. The
reel mechanism operates locking the
belt in the event of sharp braking or
strong deceleration due to an impact.
This allows the belt strap to slide
freely and to adapt to the body of the
occupant. In the event of an accident,
the belt will lock to reduce the risk
of impact inside the passenger
compartment or of being projected
outside the vehicle. The driver is
responsible for respecting, and
ensuring that all the other occupants
of the vehicle also respect, the local
laws in force in relation to the use of
the seat belts. Always fasten the seat
belts before setting off.
USING THE SEAT BELTS
The belt should be worn keeping the
torso straight and rested against the
backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold fastening
tongue (A) fig. 175 and insert it into
buckle (B), until it clicks into place.
