WARNING All warning lights will remain  
off if all the seat belts (front and rear)  
are already fastened when the ignition  
key it turned to MAR.  
The pretensioner does not require any  
maintenance or lubrication.  
Any changes to its original conditions  
will invalidate its efficiency. If, due to  
unusual natural events (floods, sea  
storms, etc.), the device has been  
affected by water and mud, it must  
absolutely be replaced.  
A similar solution applies for the front  
passenger, with the difference that  
the warning light turns green and the  
warning is interrupted also when the  
passenger leaves the vehicle.  
It both front seat belts are unfastened  
while the vehicle is travelling a few  
seconds apart, the acoustic indication  
will refer to the most recent event and  
the two warning lights will proceed with  
the visual indication independently.  
WARNING All the warning lights will  
come on when at least one belt  
changes from fastened to unfastened  
status or vice versa.

PRE-TENSIONERS  
(for versions/markets, where provided)  
To increase occupant safety in an  
accident, the front seat belt reels on  
driver side and passenger side (for  
versions/markets, where provided)  
contain a device which controls the  
force acting on the chest and shoulders  
during the restraining action of the belts  
in the event of a frontal collision.  
REAR SEATS (warning  
light 2, 3 and 4)  
The reminder cycle is run only when  
any seat belt is unfastened (red  
blinking).  
In this condition, the warning light  
for the seat belt which has been  
unfastened will start flashing red for  
approximately 30 seconds. An acoustic  
signal is also emitted.  
The visual indication (blinking red) will  
start and end independently for each  
warning light if several seat belts are  
unfastened. The  
To increase the protective efficiency of  
the front seat belts, the vehicle is fitted  
with pretensioners. These devices, in  
the event of a violent frontal collision  
or side collision, rewind the seat belts  
a few centimetres. In this way, they  
ensure that the belts fit tightly to the  
wearer before the restraining action  
begins.  
It is evident that the pretensioners  
have been activated when the belt  
withdraws toward the retractor.  
GENERAL  
INSTRUCTIONS FOR  
USING THE SEAT BELTS  
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.  
WARNING To obtain the highest  
warning light will become green when  
the relevant seat belt is fastened again.  
After about 30 seconds from the last  
indication, the warning lights for rear  
degree of protection from the action of  
the pretensioner, wear the seat belt  
tight to the chest and pelvis. A slight  
discharge of smoke may be produced  
during the activation of the pretensioner

of the passenger. Do not use devices  
(clips, etc.) to hold the seat belt away  
from your body.  
Seat belts are also to be worn by  
pregnant women: the risk of injury in  
the case of impact is greatly reduced  
for them and the unborn child if they  
are wearing a seat belt. Pregnant  
women must position the lower part of  
the belt very low down so that it passes  
over the pelvis and under the abdomen  
(see fig. 142).

While pregnancy progresses, the driver  
must adjust both the seat and the  
steering wheel to ensure full control  
of the vehicle (pedals and steering  
wheel must be easily accessible). The  
maximum clearance should be kept  
between the abdomen and the steering  
wheel.  
SEAT BELTS  
MAINTENANCE  
For keeping the seat belts in efficient  
conditions, carefully observe the  
following warnings:  
always use the seat belt with the  
strap well stretched and not twisted;  
make sure that it is free to run without  
obstructions;  
check seat belt operation as follows:  
attach the seat belt and pull it hard;  
replace the seat belt after an  
accident of a certain severity even if  
it does not appear to be damaged.  
Always replace the seat belt if the  
pretensioners were deployed;  
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 Each seat belt must be  
used by only one person. Never travel  
with a child sitting on the passenger's  
lap and a single belt to protect them  
both fig. 144. In general, do not place  
any objects between the person and  
the belt.

WARNING The seat belt strap must  
not be twisted. The upper part must  
pass over the shoulder and cross  
the chest diagonally. The lower part  
must adhere to the pelvis (as shown  
in fig. 143) rather than the abdomen
