SAFETY DEVICES -> SEAT BELTS for Your Fiat Punto SUV 1999-2010

SEAT BELTS  
USING THE SEAT BELTS  
The belt should be worn keeping the chest straight and rested against the  
seat back.  
To fasten the belt, take hold the tongue (A) and insert it into the buckle  
(B), until hearing the locking click.  
At removal, if it jams, let it rewind for a short stretch, then pull it out  
again without jerking.  
F0I0155m  
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 reel, the belt automatically adapts to the body of the  
passenger wearing it, allowing freedom of movement.  
When the car is parked on a steep slope the reel mechanism may block;  
this is normal. The reel mechanism prevents the webbing coming out  
when it is jerked or if the car brakes sharply, in a collision or when  
cornering at high speeds.  
Never press button (C) when travelling.

FRONT SEAT BELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT  
Always adjust the height of the seat belt to fit the person wearing it. This  
precaution could greatly reduce the risk of injury in case of collision.  
Correct adjustment is obtained when the belt passes half way between  
the end of the shoulder and the neck.  
Four different adjustments in height are provided.  
To adjust, press button (A) and lower or raise the grip (B).  
F0I0057m  
Make the height adjustment when the car is stationary.  
WARNING  
WARNING  
After adjustment, always check that the slider is anchored in one of the positions  
provided. To do this, with the button (A) released, exert a further pressure to allow  
the anchor device to catch if release did not take place at one of the preset  
positions.
