Seat Belts; Using The Seat Belts - Fiat Panda Owner's Handbook Manual

SEAT BELTS

USING THE SEAT BELTS

The belt should be worn keeping the torso straight
and rested against the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue A fig. 83
and insert it into the buckle B, until it clicks into
place. On removal, if it jams, let it rewind for a short
stretch, then pull it out again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button C. Guide the
seat belt with your hand while it is rewinding, to
prevent it from twisting. Through the reel, the belt
automatically adapts to the body of the passenger
wearing it, allowing freedom of movement.

SAFETY
Never press button C fig. 83 when
travelling.
The reel may lock when the car is parked on a steep
slope: this is perfectly normal. Furthermore, the
reel mechanism locks the belt if it is pulled sharply or
in the event of sudden braking, collisions and
high-speed bends.
The rear seat is fitted with inertia seat belts with
three anchor points and a reel. Fasten the rear seat
belts as shown in fig. 84 (4-seater versions) or
(5-seater versions) fig. 85.
