Always adjust the height of the seat

REAR SEAT BELT ICON

BEHAVIOUR

The icons are shown on the display (fig.

67 versions with colour display or fig.

68 versions with single-colour display)

❒ B: seat belt fastened, rear central

corresponding seat belt has been

fastened.

For the rear seats, the icons will

activate a few seconds after the ignition

device has been turned to MAR,

regardless of the status of the seat

belts (even if the seat belts are all

fastened).

PRETENSIONERS

The vehicle is equipped with front seat

belt pretensioners, which draw back

the seat belts by several centimetres in

the event of a strong frontal impact.

This guarantees the perfect adherence

of the seat belts to the occupant's

bodies before the retention action

begins.

when at least one belt changes from

been activated when the safety belt

withdraws toward the retractor.

This vehicle is also equipped with a

second pretensioner (in the kick plate

area). Its activation is signalled by

the shortening of the metal cable and

rolling up of the protective sheath.

A slight discharge of smoke may be

pretensioner which is not harmful and

does not indicate any fire hazard.

invalidate its efficiency.

If, due to unusual natural events (floods,

sea storms, etc.), the device has been

affected by water and/or mud, contact

a Fiat Dealership to have it replaced.

IMPORTANT

As far as the rear seats are concerned,

the SBR system will only indicate

whether the seat belts are unfastened

(red icon) or fastened (green icon),

not the presence of any passengers.
