WARNING
117) Seat belts should always be worn by
every adult who drives or rides in this
vehicle, and by all children who are large
enough to wear seat belts properly. Other
children should always use proper child
restraint systems.
118) Always place the shoulder belt over
your shoulder and across your chest.
Never put it behind you or under your arm.
119) One seat belt should be used by only
one person. Doing otherwise can be
dangerous.
120) The seat belt will provide maximum
protection if the recliner seatback is placed
in fully upright position. When the seatback
is reclined, there is greater risk that the
passenger will slide under the belt,
especially in a forward impact accident,
and may be injured by the belt or by
striking the instrument panel or seatbacks.
121) Remove any twists when using the
belt.
122) Never hold a child in your arms or on
your lap when riding in this vehicle, even if
you are wearing your seat belt. To do so
risks severe or fatal injury to your child in a
collision or sudden stop.
123) Always adjust the seat belt to a snug
fit.
124) Always wear the lap portion of the
belt over your hips.

125) Never push the button on the buckle
when travelling.
126) Seat belts work for everyone,
including pregnant women. Pregnant
women should use the available seat belts.
This will reduce the likelihood of injury to
both the woman and the unborn child. The
lap belt should be worn across the thighs
and as snug against the hips as possible,
but not across the waist. Consult your
doctor if you have any additional questions
or concerns.
127) Never wear the lap portion of the belt
across your abdomen. During accidents it
can press sharply against abdomen and
increase the risk of injury.
128) Do not attempt to repair or replace
any part of the seat belt assemblies; we
recommend you to have this work done by
a Fiat Dealership. Incorrect repair or
replacement could reduce the
effectiveness of the belts and could result
in serious injury in the event of a collision.
129) Remember that, in the event of an
accident, the rear seat passengers not
wearing seat belts are exposed to a very
serious risk and also represent a serious
danger for the front seat occupants.
130) Make height adjustment of the seat
belts when the car is stationary.
IMPORTANT
62) No modifications or additions should be
made which will either prevent the seat belt
adjusting devices from operating to remove
slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly
from being adjusted to remove slack.
63) The seat belts must not be twisted
when worn.
64) We recommend you to have all seat
belt assemblies including retractors and
attaching hardware inspected after any
collision. We recommend that seat belt
assemblies in use during a collision be
replaced unless the collision was minor and
the belts show no damage and continue to
operate properly.
65) Once the pre-tensioner has activated, it
cannot be re-used. It must be replaced
together with the retractor.
