GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
THE SEAT BELTS
GETTING TO KNOW
YOUR CAR
The driver must comply with (and have all car
passengers follow) any local regulations in force
concerning the use of seat belts. Always fasten the
seat belts before setting off.
SAFETY
Seat belts are also to be worn by pregnant women:
the risk of injury in the case of accident is greatly
reduced for them and the unborn child if they are
STARTING AND
wearing a seat belt.
DRIVING
Pregnant women must position the lower part of the
belt very low down so that it passes over the pelvis
and under the abdomen (see fig. 102). The best

way to protect the unborn child is to protect the

mother. When a safety belt is worn properly, it
is more likely that the unborn child will not be hurt
in a crash. For pregnant women, as for anyone,
the key to making safety belts effective is wearing

them properly.

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 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 or 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.
