WARNING

Before carrying out the Reset

procedure, inflate the tyres to the rated

pressure values specified in the inflation

pressure table (see "Wheels" paragraph

in the "Technical specifications"

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

deflation of more than one tyre.

If the Reset procedure is not carried

out, in all above cases, the

light may give false indications on

one or more tyres.

To carry out the RESET procedure, with

the car stopped and the ignition device

at MAR, use the Main Menu as follows:

Under special conditions (e.g. vehicle

loaded asymmetrically on one side,

towing a trailer, damaged or worn tyre,

fitting the space-saver wheel, use of the

"Fix&Go" kit, fitting snow chains, fitting

different tyres on the axles) the system

may give false indications or be

naked eye. Do not look directly, or with

optical instruments (e.g. lenses), at the

laser beam from a distance lower than 10

cm: this may cause damage to the sight.

pushchairs) and more in general all those

obstacles with a low reflection of the light

emitted by the laser (e.g. vehicles soiled

with mud) are not taken into consideration.

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.

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.

The rear seat is fitted with inertia seat

belts with three anchor points and a

retractor. Wear the rear seat belts

as shown in fig. 59 (4-seater versions)

or fig. 60 (5-seater versions).

Always adjust the height of the seat belt

to fit the person wearing it: this

WARNING

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.

F1D0051

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.

F1D0053

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.

F1D0052

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

do this, with button A fig. 61 released,

exert further pressure downwards to allow

the locking device to click if the grip has

not been released in one of the possible

positions.
