chapter).

67) The system is an aid for the driver, who

must always pay full attention while

driving. The responsibility always rests with

the driver, who must take into account

the traffic conditions in order to drive

in complete safety. The driver must always

maintain a safe distance from the vehicle

in front.

Operating conditions

The system is active for speeds above

15 km/h.

In a few situations such as sporty

driving, particular conditions of the road

surface (e.g. icy, snowy, unsurfaced

roads...) the signalling may be delayed

or partial in detecting the contemporary

71) If the car must be placed on a roller

bench (at a speed within 5 and 30 km/h)

for maintenance interventions or if it is

washed in an automatic roller washing

tunnel with an obstacle in the front part

(e.g. another car, a wall or another

obstacle), the system may detect its

presence and activate. In this case the

system must be deactivated through the

display Setup Menu.

34) Do not tamper nor operate on the laser

sensor. Do not close the openings in the

aesthetic cover located under the interior

rear view mirror. In the event of a sensor

failure, contact a Fiat Dealership.

WARNING

30) The laser sensor may have limited or

absent operation due to weather

conditions such as: heavy rain, hail, thick

fog, heavy snow, formation of ice layers on

the windscreen.

35) Do not cover the operating range of the

sensor with stickers or other objects. Also

pay attention to other objects on the

bonnet (e.g. a layer of snow) and make

sure they do not interfere with the light

emitted by the laser.

31) Sensor operation may also be

compromised by the presence of dust,

condensation, dirt or ice on the

windscreen, by traffic conditions (e.g.

vehicles that are driving not aligned with

you car, vehicle driving in a transverse

or opposite way on the same lane, bend

with a small radius of curvature), by road

surface conditions and by driving

conditions (e.g. off-road driving). Make sure

the windscreen is always clean. Use

specific detergents and clean cloths to

avoid scratching the windscreen. The

sensor operation may also be limited or

absent in some driving, traffic and road

surface conditions.

72) If the system signals a pressure

decrease on a specific tyre, it is

recommended to check the pressure on all

four tyres.

36) If a trailer or a vehicle is towed the

system must be deactivated with the

display Setup Menu.

73) The iTPMS does not relieve the driver

from the obligation to check the tyre

pressure every month; it is not to

be considered a system to replace

maintenance or a safety system.

74) Tyre pressure must be checked with

tyres cold. Should it become necessary for

whatever reason to check pressure with

warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even

though it is higher than the prescribed

value, but repeat the check when tyres are

cold.

32) Projecting loads on the roof of the car

may interfere with the correct operation

of the sensor. Before starting make sure

the load is correctly positioned, in order not

to cover the sensor operating range.

75) The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden

tyre pressure drops (for example when

a tyre bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle,

braking with caution and avoiding abrupt

steering.

33) If the windscreen must be replaced

due to scratches, chipping or breakage,

contact exclusively a Fiat Dealership.

Do not replace the windscreen on your

own, risk of malfunction! It is advisable to

replace the windscreen if it is damaged

in the laser sensor area.

76) The system only warns that the tyre

pressure is low: it is not able to inflate

them.

77) Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel

consumption, reduces the tread duration

and may affect the capacity to drive safely.

To unfasten the seat belts, press button

C. Guide the seat belt with your hand

while it is rewinding, to prevent it from

twisting. Through the retractor, the

belt automatically adapts to the body of

the passenger wearing it, allowing

freedom of movement.

OCCUPANT

PROTECTION

SYSTEMS

SEAT BELTS

USING THE SEAT BELTS

All vehicle seats are equipped with seat

belts with three anchor 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 reducing the

risk of impact inside the passenger

compartment and of being projected

outside the car.

The most important safety equipment

of the vehicle comprises the following

protection systems:

seat belts;

78)

SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system;

head restraints;

The retractor may lock when the vehicle

is parked on a steep slope: this is

perfectly normal. Furthermore, the

retractor mechanism locks the belt if it

is pulled sharply or in the event of

sudden braking, collisions and

high-speed bends.

child restraint systems;

front airbags and side bags.

Read the information given the

following pages with the utmost care. It

is of fundamental importance that the

protection systems are used in the

correct way to guarantee the maximum

possible safety level for the driver and

the passengers.

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.

For the description of the headrest

adjustment see the "Headrests"

paragraph in the "Knowing your

vehicle" chapter.

Always fasten the seat belts before

setting off

The belt should be worn keeping the

torso straight and rested against the

backrest.

To fasten the seat belts, hold tongue A

fig. 58 and insert it into buckle B, until

it clicks into place. On removal, if the

belt jams, let it rewind for a short

stretch, then pull it out again without

jerking.

precaution could greatly reduce the risk

of injury in the case of collision.

78) Never press button C fig. 58 when

travelling.

Correct adjustment is obtained when

the belt passes approximately half way

between the shoulder and the neck.

79) Remember that in the event of an

accident, the rear seat passengers not

wearing seat belts are exposed to a very

serious risk and also represent a serious

danger for the front seat occupants.

80) The rear central seat belt (for

versions/markets where provided) is

provided with a service buckle fig. 62. Do

not use the seat belt with the service

buckle not fastened. In this case there is a

high risk of injury or death in the event of

an accident. Before using the belt, always

make sure that the service buckle is

correctly fastened.

81) The rear left and right side belts are

provided with an adjustment device for the

metal tongue position (metal hook). Adjust

the tongue position with respect to the seat

belt to improve comfort and reduce noise

inside the passenger compartment.

For some versions, front seat belts have

just one fixed anchor point located on

the door pillar.

IMPORTANT When putting the back

seat to its normal position, make sure

the seat belts are positioned so they are

ready to use.

82) Make height adjustment of the seat

belts when the car is stationary.

83) After height adjustment, always check

that the cursor to which the ring is fastened

is locked in one of the preset positions. To

tight to the chest and pelvis.

PRE-TENSIONERS

84) 85) 86) 87)

37)

LOAD LIMITERS

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.

To increase occupant safety, the

retractors contain a load limiter to dose

the force acting on the chest and

shoulders during the belt restraining

action in the case of frontal collisions.

GENERAL

INSTRUCTIONS FOR

USING THE SEAT BELTS

It is evident that the pretensioners have

operated when the belt withdraws

towards the retractor. This vehicle is

also equipped with a second

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

pretensioner (in the kick plate area). Its

activation is signalled by the shortening

of the metal cable.

A slight discharge of smoke may be

produced during the activation of the

pretensioner which is not harmful and

does not involve any fire hazard.

The pretensioner does not require any

maintenance or lubrication. Anything

that modifies its original conditions

invalidates its efficiency.

abdomen (see fig. 64). While pregnancy

increases, the driver must adjust both

seat and steering wheel to have full

control over the vehicle (pedals and

steering wheel should be easily

accessed). The maximum clearance

should be kept between the abdomen

and the steering wheel.

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.

71

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.

between the person and the belt.

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;

to clean the belt, wash by hand with

water and neutral soap, rinse and

leave to dry in the shade. Do not use

strong detergents, bleach, paints or any

other chemical substance which could

damage the belt fibres.

MAINTENANCE

85) For maximum safety, 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.

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;

86) Removing or tampering with seat belt

and pretensioner components is strictly

prohibited. Any intervention on these

components must be performed by

qualified and authorised technicians.

Always go to a Fiat Dealership.

check seat belt operation as follows:

attach the seat belt and pull it hard;

F1D0124

65

replace the 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;

72

87) If the belt has been sharply pulled, for

example as the result of an accident, the

seat belt, together with the anchoring

devices, the anchoring device fixing screws

and the pretensioner must be completely

replaced. Even if the belt does not present

any exterior signs of wear or damage, it

may have lost its restraining properties.

Children must be seated safely and

comfortably. Depending on the

characteristics of the child restraint

systems used, you are advised to keep

children in rearward facing child

restraint systems for as long as

possible (at least until 3-4 years old),

since this is the most protected position

in the event of an impact.

WARNING

The choice of the most suitable child

restraint system depends on the weight

and size of the child. There are various

types of child restraint systems, which

can be secured to the vehicle by means

of the seat belts or with the ISOFIX

anchorages.

necessary on these components.

It is recommended to always choose

the restraint system most suitable

for the child; for this reason always refer

to the Owner Handbook provided with

the child restraint system, to be sure

that it is of the right type for the children

it is intended for.

Statistics on accidents indicate that the

rear seats offer greater safety for

children.

Compared with an adult, a child's head

is larger and heavier in proportion to

their body and the child's muscular and

bone structures are not fully developed.

Therefore, correct restraint systems

other than adult seat belts are

necessary to reduce as much as

possible the risk of injuries in the event

of an accident, braking or sudden

manoeuvre.

In Europe the characteristics of child

restraint systems are ruled by the

regulation ECE-R44, dividing them into

five weight groups:

Main recommendations to carry

children safely

Always check that the seat belt is

well fastened by pulling on it.

WARNING

Install the child restraint systems on

the rear seat, which is the most

protected position in the event of an

impact.

While travelling, do not let the child

sit incorrectly or unfasten the belts.

88) SEVERE DANGER When a front

rearward facing child restraint systems on

the front passenger seat. Deployment of

the airbag in an accident could cause fatal

injuries to the child regardless of the

severity of the collision. It is advisable to

always carry children in a child restraint

system on the rear seat, which is the most

protected position in the event of a

collision.

Never allow a child to put the belt's

diagonal section under an arm or

behind their back.

Keep children in rearward facing

child restraint systems for as long as

possible, until 3–4 years old if possible.

Never carry children on your lap,

even newborns. No one can hold

a child in the case of an accident.

Should a rearward facing child

restraint system be installed on the rear

seats, it is advisable to position it as

far forward as the position of the front

seat allows.

If the car has been involved in a

medium-high severity road accident,

replace the child restraint system with a

new one. In addition, and depending

on the type of child restraint system

installed, replace the isofix anchorages

or the seat belt with which the child

restraint system was connected.

89) On the sun visor there is a label with

suitable symbols reminding the user that it

is compulsory to deactivate the airbag if

a rearward facing child restraint system is

fitted. Always comply with the instructions

on the passenger side sun visor (see the

"Supplementary Restraint System (SRS)

- Airbag" paragraph).

If the passenger's front airbag is

deactivated, always check that the

warning light is on constantly in the

central dashboard, to make sure that

it has actually been deactivated.

Before installing a child restraint

system of any kind on the rear seat

facing in the direction of movement of

the vehicle, it is necessary to remove

the head restraint from the rear seat

position in which the child restraint

system is to be installed. On the other

hand, before installing a child restraint

system composed of only the seat

cushion (without backrest) on the rear

seat, it is necessary to ensure that

the head restraint of the rear seat

position in which the child restraint

system is to be installed is correctly

fitted.

90) Should it be necessary to carry a child

on the passenger side front seat in a rear

facing child restraint system, the passenger

side front and side airbags must be

deactivated through the display main

menu, verifying deactivation by checking

Carefully follow the instructions

supplied with the child restraint system.

Keep the instructions in the vehicle

along with the other documents and

this handbook. Do not use second-

hand child restraint systems without

instructions.

that the warning light

located in the

central part of the dashboard has switched

on. Move the passenger's seat as far

back as possible to avoid contact between

the child seat and the dashboard.

Only one child is to be strapped into

each restraint system; never carry two

children using one child restraint

system.

91) Do not move the front or rear seat if a

child is seated on it or on the dedicated

child restraint system.

Always check that the seat belts do

not rest on the child’s neck.

82

92) Incorrect fitting of the child restraint

system may result in an inefficient

protection system. In the event of an

accident the child restraint system may

become loose and the child may be

injured, even fatally. When fitting a restraint

system for newborns or children, strictly

comply with the instructions provided

by the Manufacturer.

98) Fit the child restraint system when the

car is stationary. The child restraint system

is correctly fixed to the brackets when

you hear the click. Follow the instructions

for assembly, disassembly and positioning

that the Manufacturer must supply with

the child restraint system.

SUPPLEMENTARY

RESTRAINT SYSTEM

(SRS) - AIRBAG

The car is equipped with:

driver front airbag;

front passenger airbag;

front side bags for pelvis, chest and

shoulder protection of driver and

passenger (for versions/markets, where

provided);

93) When the child restraint system is not

used, secure it with the seat belt or with

the ISOFIX anchorages, or remove it from

the vehicle. Do not leave it unsecured

inside the passenger compartment. In this

way, in the case of sudden braking or an

accident, it will not cause injuries to the

occupants.

side bags for head protection of

front seat passengers and rear side

seat passengers (window bag).

94) After installing a child restraint system,

do not move the seat: always remove

the child restraint system before making

any adjustment.

FRONT AIRBAGS

99)

The front (driver and passenger) airbags

protect the front seat occupants in the

event of head-on crashes of medium-

high severity, by placing the cushion

between the occupant and the steering

wheel or dashboard.

95) Always make sure that the chest

section of the seat belt does not pass

under the arms or behind the back of the

child. In the event of an accident the seat

belt will not be able to secure the child,

with the risk of injury, including fatal injury.

Therefore the child must always wear

the seat belt correctly.

Therefore non-activation of airbags in

other types of collisions (side impacts,

rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not

indicate a system malfunction.

96) Do not use the same lower anchorage

to install more than one child restraint

system.

Driver and passenger front airbags are

not a replacement of but

system is not fixed to all three anchorages,

it will not be able to protect the child

correctly. In a crash, the child could be

seriously or fatally injured.

complementary to the seat belts, which

should always be worn, as specified

by law in Europe and most non-

European countries.

83

In the event of an impact, those not

wearing a seat belt are projected

forwards, and may come into contact

with the bag which is still inflating.

The protection offered by the bag is

compromised in these circumstances.

The front airbags may not activate in

the case of a frontal impact against

highly deformable objects not involving

the front surface of the car (e.g. wing

collision against guard rail) or in the

case of the car wedging under other

cars or protective barriers (e.g. under

trucks or guard rails).

The airbags are not deployed in the

event of minor frontal impacts (for

which the restraining action of the seat

belts is sufficient). It is therefore always

necessary to wear seat belts.

Failure to activate in the conditions

described above is due to the fact that

they may not provide any additional

protection compared with seat belts, so

their activation would be inappropriate.

In these cases, non-deployment does

not indicate a system malfunction.

The driver's and passenger's

Rearward facing child restraint systems
