MAINTENANCE OF THE
SEAT BELTS
For keeping the seat belts in efficient
conditions, carefully observe the
following warnings:
❒ always use the seat belt well
stretched and never twisted; make
sure that it is free to run without
obstructions;
❒ replace the belt after an accident of a
certain severity even if it does not
appear to be damaged. Always
replace the belt if the pretensioners
were deployed;
❒ to clean the belt, wash by hand with
water and neutral soap, rinse and
leave to dry in the shade. Never use
strong detergents, bleach, paints
or any other chemical substance
which could damage the belt fibres;
❒ prevent the retractors from getting
wet: their correct operation is only
guaranteed if water does not get
inside;
❒ replace the seat belt when it shows
wear or cuts.

WARNING
66) The pretensioner may be used
only once. After it is triggered,
have it replaced at a Fiat
Dealership.
67) For maximum protection, keep
the backrest 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 and even
death in the event of an accident.
68) If the belt has been subjected to
a high level of stress, for example
after an accident, it must be
completely replaced together with
the attachments, attachment
fixing screws and the
pretensioner. In fact, even if the
belt has no visible defects, it could
have lost its resilience.
