Seat Belts - Fiat FIORINO Owner's Handbook Manual

SEAT BELTS

USING THE SEAT BELTS
All the seats in the vehicle are equipped
with seat belts with three anchoring
points and a retractor.
The reel mechanism operates locking
the belt in the event of sharp braking or
strong deceleration due to an impact.
This allows the belt strap to slide freely
and to adapt to the body of the
occupant.
In the event of an accident, the belt will
lock to reduce the risk of impact inside
the passenger compartment or of being
projected outside the vehicle. The
driver is responsible for respecting, and
ensuring that all the other occupants
of the vehicle also respect, the local
laws in force in relation to the use of the
seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.
The seat belt should be worn keeping
the chest 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.
If the seat belt jams during removal, 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.
66)
The retractor may lock up when the
vehicle 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.
67)
The rear seat belts (for versions/
markets, where provided) must be worn
as shown in diagram in fig. 84 or fig.
85.
