Seat Belt Extender - Fiat 500e Owner's Manual

The BeltAlertt warning sequence begins if the driver's
seat belt has not been buckled within 5 seconds of
starting the vehicle and the vehicle speed greater than
6 mph (10 km/h), or if the vehicle speed is greater than
12 mph (20 km/h), by blinking the Seat Belt Reminder
Light and sounding an intermittent chime. Once the
sequence starts, it will continue for the entire duration or
until the respective seatbelts are fastened. After the
sequence completes, the Seat Belt Reminder Light re-
mains illuminated until the respective seat belts are
fastened. The driver should instruct all other occupants
to fasten their seat belts.
The front passenger seat BeltAlert® is not active when
the front passenger seat is unoccupied. BeltAlert® may
be triggered when an animal or heavy object is on the
front passenger seat or when the seat is folded flat (if
equipped). It is recommended that pets be restrained in
the rear seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers that are
secured by seat belts, and cargo is properly stowed.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 57
BeltAlert® can be enabled or disabled by your autho-
rized studio. FIAT Group Automobiles does not recom-
mend deactivating BeltAlert®.
NOTE: Although BeltAlert® has been deactivated, the
Seat Belt Reminder Light will continue to illuminate
while the driver's or front passenger (if equipped with
BeltAlert®) seat belt remains unfastened.

Seat Belt Extender

If a seat belt is too short even when fully extended and
when the adjustable upper shoulder belt anchorage (if
equipped) is in its lowest position, your authorized
studio can provide you with a seat belt extender. This
extender should be used only if the existing belt is not
long enough. When it is not required, remove the ex-
tender and store it.
