WARNING
For maximum safety, keep
the back of your seat up-
right, lean back into it and make sure
the seat belt fits closely across your
chest and hips. Always fasten the seat
belts on both the front and the rear
seats. Travelling without seat belts
will increase the risk of severe injury
and even death in the event of an ac-
cident.
Never disassemble or tamper with the
seat belt or pretensioner components.
All interventions must be performed
by qualified and authorised person-
nel only. Always go to a Abarth Deal-
ership.

IMPORTANT The belt must not be twist-
ed. The upper part must cross the shoul-
der and the chest diagonally. The lower
part must fit the hips (as shown in fig. 3)
rather than the abdomen of the passen-
ger. Do not use devices (clips, etc.) to hold
the seat belt away from your body.

IMPORTANT Each seat belt may only be
used by a single person: do not carry chil-
dren on your lap with one seat belt pro-
tecting both fig. 4. In general, do not place
any objects between the person and belt.
WARNING
If the belt has been subject-
ed to heavy stress, for ex-
ample after an accident, it should be
changed completely together with
the anchors, anchor fastening screws
and the pretensioners. In fact, even if
the belt has no visible defects, it could
have lost its resilience.
