SAFETY -> SBR (SEAT BELT REMINDER) SYSTEM for Your Fiat Tipo 4 Door Second Generation (2015-2026)

SBR (SEAT BELT  
REMINDER) SYSTEM  
(for versions/markets, where provided)  
The SBR system warns the passengers  
of the front and rear (where provided)  
seats if their seat belt is not fastened.  
The system warnings unfastened seat  
belts with visual warnings (warning  
lights on in the instrument panel  
and symbols on the display) and an  
acoustic warning (see the following  
paragraphs).

IMPORTANT  
NOTE To deactivate the acoustic  
warning permanently go to a Fiat  
Dealership. The acoustic warning can  
be reactivated at any time through  
the display menu (see the "Display"  
paragraph in the "Knowing the  
instrument panel" chapter).  
80) Never press button (3) when travelling.  
81) 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.  
Front seat belt warning light  
operation

P2000314  
When the ignition device is at MAR,  
the warning light (see fig. 99 figure  
for versions with the Base display or  
fig. 100 for versions with the Premium  
display) comes on for a few seconds,  
regardless of the status of the front  
seat belts.  
As soon as a speed threshold of 20  
km/h is reached, with driver seat belt  
or passenger side seat belt (with  
occupant seated) are unfastened,  
an acoustic warning is activated  
simultaneously with warning light  
flashing for about 105 seconds.  
Once activated, this indication cycle  
stays active for the entire time if the  
car is moving faster than 8 km/h or if  
reverse gear is not engaged or until the  
seat belts are fastened.  
With the car stopped or at a speed  
under 20 km/h, if the driver seat belt  
or the passenger side seat belt (with  
occupant seated) are unfastened, the  
warning light stays on constantly.

When the reverse is engaged, during  
the alert cycle, the acoustic signal is  
deactivated and the warning light  
turns on fixed. The cycle of warnings  
will be reactivated as soon as speed  
exceeds 8 km/h again.  
seat belt fastened  
The symbols shown on the display  
(fig. 101 on versions with Base display  
or fig. 102 on versions with Premium  
display) indicate:  
A: rear left seat belt;  
B: rear central seat belt;  
C: rear right seat belt.  
If the car speed drops to less than  
8 km/h or if reverse gear is engaged  
during the warning cycle, the tone will  
be interrupted and the warning light  
switches on fixed.

P2000399  
If the entire time has not elapsed and  
reverse gear is not engaged, the  
indication cycle is reactivated as soon  
as the car speed exceeds 20 km/h  
again.  
With the car travelling as speed lower  
than 20 km/h, if a rear seat belt is  
unbuckled, the symbol stays on with  
fixed light for a total of approximately  
65 seconds.  
Operation of rear seat belt symbols  
The symbols are shown on the display  
(fig. 101 versions with the Base display  
or fig. 102 versions with the Premium  
display) a few seconds after setting the  
ignition device to MAR.  
The symbols are displayed according  
to the corresponding rear seat belts  
and stay on for about 65 seconds from  
the last seat belt status change:  
if the seat belt is fastened the  
corresponding symbol will be green;  
if the seat belt is unfastened the  
corresponding symbol will be red.  
If the car is travelling at a speed  
faster than 20 km/h and reverse is  
not engaged, if a rear seat belt is  
unbuckled, an acoustic warning is  
sounded when the symbol blinks  
for approximately 35 seconds.  
Successively, the acoustic warning is  
deactivated and the symbol lights up  
with fixed light until the end of the entire  
cycle.  
The symbols are displayed according  
to the corresponding seat belts in the  
rear seats and remain on for about 65  
seconds after the doors are closed or  
following a change in belt status.

Furthermore, the symbols lights up for  
a few seconds whenever one of the  
rear doors is opened.  
WARNING To obtain the highest  
degree of protection from the action of  
the pretensioner, wear the seat belt  
tight to the torso and pelvis.  
PRE-TENSIONERS  
The car is equipped with seat belt  
pretensioners for the front seats (on  
some versions for the rear seats as  
well). These draw the seat belts back  
by several centimetres in the event of  
a strong frontal impact to ensure that  
the seat belts adhere perfectly to the  
occupants' bodies before retention  
begins.  
WARNINGS  
As far as the rear seats are concerned,  
the SBR system will only indicate  
whether the seat belts are unfastened  
(red symbol) or fastened (green  
symbol), not the presence of any  
passengers.  
LOAD LIMITERS  
82)  
29)  
To increase safety in the event of an  
accident, the front seat belt retractors  
contain a device which controls the  
force acting on the chest and shoulders  
during the belt restraining action in the  
event of a frontal collision.  
The warning lights/symbols all stay  
off if all seat belts (front and rear) are  
fastened when the ignition device is set  
to MAR.  
It is evident that the pretensioners have  
been activated when the safety belt  
withdraws toward the retractor.  
This car 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.  
For the rear seats, the symbols 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).  
GENERAL  
INSTRUCTIONS FOR  
USING THE SEAT BELTS  
83) 84) 85)  
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: any  
changes to its original conditions will  
invalidate its efficiency.  
Seat belts must also be worn by  
pregnant women: the risk of injury in  
the event of an accident is reduced for  
them and the unborn child if they are  
wearing a seat belt.  
All the warning lights/symbols will come  
on when at least one belt changes from  
fastened to unfastened status or vice  
versa.  
Pregnant women must position the  
lower part of the belt very low down so  
that it passes over the pelvis and under  
the abdomen fig. 103.  
NOTE The rear seat passenger must  
fasten the seat belt when seated.  
The car may emit a prolonged beep  
indicating that the rear seat passenger  
needs to check that they have fastened  
their seat belt.  
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.  
While pregnancy progresses, the  
driver must adjust both seat and  
steering wheel to have full control  
over the vehicle (pedals and steering  
wheel must be easy to access). The  
maximum clearance should be kept
