Front seat belt warning light

behaviour

When the ignition device is turned

to MAR, the warning light

(see

fig. 80 figure for versions with the basic

display or fig. 81 for versions with the

Premium display) comes on for a few

seconds, regardless of the status of the

front seat belts.

With car at a standstill, if the driver

side seat belt or the passenger side

seat belt (with occupant seated) is

unfastened, the warning light stays on

constantly.

80

P2000313

81

P2000314

As soon as the threshold of 8 km/h (5

mph) is reached for a few seconds

with driver or passenger side (with

passenger present) seat belts

unfastened, an acoustic warning is

activated together with the flashing of

the

warning light for approximately

100 seconds.

When this cycle of warnings is

activated it will stay on for its entire

length (regardless of the car speed) or

until the seat belts are fastened again.

When the reverse is engaged, during

the cycle of warnings, 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.

Operation of rear seat belt symbols

The symbols are shown on the display

(fig. 82 on versions with basic display)

after a few seconds have elapsed since

the ignition device is turned to MAR.

The symbols are displayed according

to the corresponding seat belts and

turn off at least 30 seconds after the

doors have been closed or after a

change in the seat belt fastening

status:

for versions with basic display

seat belt unfastened

seat belt fastened.

The symbols shown on the display

indicate:

A

: rear left seat belt;

B

: rear central seat belt;

C

: rear right seat belt.

82

P2000011-000-000

91

If a rear seat belt is unfastened, an

acoustic warning (3 "beeps") will be

activated along with the relevant

symbol lighting up on the display.

Furthermore the symbols will light up

again for 30 seconds each time one of

the rear doors is closed.

The symbol will change status after

the corresponding seat belt has been

fastened again.

After about 30 seconds from the last

indication, the rear seat symbols will

switch off, irrespective of the seat belt

status.

IMPORTANT NOTES

As far as the rear seats are concerned,

the SBR system will only indicate

whether the seat belts are unfastened

or fastened, not the presence of any

passengers.

The warning lights/symbols are all

off if all seat belts (front and rear) are

fastened when the ignition device is at

MAR.

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).

All the warning lights/symbols will come

on when at least one belt changes from

fastened to unfastened status or vice

versa.

PRE-TENSIONERS

The car is equipped with seat belt

pretensioners for the front and rear side

seats. 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.

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.

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.

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.

WARNING To obtain the highest

degree of protection from the action of

the pretensioner, wear the seat belt

tight to the torso and pelvis.

LOAD LIMITERS

78)

28)

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.

GENERAL

INSTRUCTIONS FOR

USING THE SEAT BELTS

79) 80) 81)

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.
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. 83.
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

between the abdomen and the steering

wheel.

SAFETY

92

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 fig. 84, not to the

abdomen of the occupant. Never use

devices (clips, clamps, etc.) that hold

the seat belt away from your body.

83

F1B0107C

84

F1B0108C

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. 85.

In general, do not place any objects

between the person and the belt.

85

F1B0109C

SEAT BELTS

MAINTENANCE

For keeping the seat belts in efficient

conditions, carefully observe the

following warnings:

always use the seat belt well

stretched and never 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

78)

The pretensioner may be used only

once. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have it

replaced after it has been deployed.

79)

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.

80)

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 for both the front and rear seats!

Travelling without wearing seat belts will

increase the risk of serious injury and even

death in the event of an accident.

81)

If the belt has been subjected to high

levels of stress, for example after an

accident, it should be changed completely

together with the attachments, attachment

fixing screws and the pretensioner. In fact,

even if the belt has no visible defects, it

may have lost its resilience.

28)

Operations which lead to impacts,

vibrations or localised heating (over 100

°

C

for a maximum of six hours) in the area

around the pretensioner may cause

damage or make it deploy. Contact a

93

Fiat Dealership should intervention be

necessary on these components.

CHILD RESTRAINT

SYSTEMS

CARRYING CHILDREN

SAFELY

82) 83) 84) 85)

For optimal protection in the event

of an impact, all occupants must be

seated and wearing adequate restraint

systems, including newborn and other

children!
This prescription is compulsory in all

EC countries according to EC Directive

2003/20/EC.
Children below the height of 1.50

metres and up to 12 years must be

protected with suitable restraint

systems and be seated on the rear

seats.
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.
Children must be seated safely

and comfortably. As far as the

characteristics of the child seats used

allow, you are advised to keep children

in rear facing child seats for as long

as possible (at least until 3

–

4 years

old), since this is the most protected

position in the event of a collision.
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 car by means of

the seat belts or with the ISOFIX/i-Size

anchorages.
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.

WARNING

82)

SEVERE DANGER When a front

passenger airbag is fitted, do not install

rearward facing child restraint systems

on the front passenger seat. Deployment

of the airbag in a crash 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.

83)

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).

84)

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 air bag and side

bag must be deactivated through the

system main menu (see the

Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) -

Air bag" paragraph), verifying deactivation
by checking whether the LED

on the

dashboard is on. Move the passenger's

seat as far back as possible to avoid

contact between the child seat and the

dashboard.

85)

Do not move the front or rear seat if

a child is seated on it or on the dedicated

child restraint system.

SAFETY

94

In Europe the characteristics of child restraint systems are ruled by the regulation ECE-R44, dividing them into five weight

groups:

Group

Age

Weight groups

Size class / Fixing

Group 0

Indicatively up to 9 months

up to 10 kg in weight

ISO/L1

ISO/L2

ISO/R1

Group 0+

Indicatively up to 2 years

up to 13 kg in weight

ISO/R1

ISO/R2

ISO/R3

Group 1

Indicatively from 8 months to 4

years

9-18 kg

ISO/R2

ISO/R3

ISO/F2

ISO/F2X

ISO/F3

Group 2

Indicatively from 3 to 7 years

15 - 25 kg

–

Group 3

Indicatively from 6 to 12 years

22 - 36 kg

–

The ECE R44 standard supplements the ECE R-129 regulation, which defines the characteristics of i-Size child restraint

systems (see the "Suitability of passenger seats for i-Size child restraint system use" paragraph for more information).

All restraint devices must bear the type-approval data, together with the control mark, on a label solidly fixed to the child

restraint system which must never be removed.

Lineaccessori MOPAR® includes child restraint systems for each weight group. These devices are recommended having been

specifically designed for Fiat vehicles.

95

INSTALLING A CHILD

RESTRAINT SYSTEM

WITH SEAT BELTS

The Universal child restraint systems

installed with the seat belts only are

type-approved on the basis of the ECE

R44 standard and are divided into

various weight groups.

86) 87) 88) 89)

WARNING The figures are indicative

and provided for assembly purposes

only. Fit the child restraint system

according to the instructions, which

must be included.

Group 0 and 0+

Infants up to 13 kg must be carried

with a rearward facing child restraint

system of the type shown in fig. 86

which, supporting the head, does not

induce stress on the neck in the event

of sudden decelerations.

86

06096J0001EM

The child restraint system is secured

by the car seat belts, as shown in and

it must restrain the child in turn with its

own belts.

Group 1

Children weighing from 9 to 18 kg may

be transported in forward facing child

restraint systems fig. 87.

87

06096J0002EM

Group 2

Children from 15 to 25 kg may be

restrained directly by the car seat belts

fig. 88.

88

06096J0003EM

In this case, the child restraint system

is used to position the child correctly

with respect to the seat belts so that

the diagonal belt section crosses the

child’s chest and not the neck, and the

lower part is snug on the pelvis not the

abdomen.

Group 3

For children between 22 and 36 kg,

there are dedicated restraint systems

that allow the seat belt to be worn

correctly.
The fig. 89 shows the correct child

positioning on the rear seat.

SAFETY

96

89

06096J0004EM

Children over 1.50 m in height can

wear seat belts like adults.

WARNING

86)

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.

87)

When the child restraint system is

not used, secure it with the seat belt or

with the ISOFIX anchorages, or remove

it from the car. Do not leave it unsecured

inside the passenger compartment. In this

way, in the event of sudden braking or an

accident, it will not cause injuries to the

occupants.

88)

After installing a child restraint system,

do not move the seat: always remove the

child restraint system before making any

adjustment.

89)

Always make sure that the diagonal

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.

INSTALLING AN ISOFIX

CHILD RESTRAINT

SYSTEM

90) 91) 92)

The rear side seats of the car are

equipped with ISOFIX anchors, for

fitting child restraint systems quickly,

simply and safely. The ISOFIX system

lets you install the ISOFIX child

restraining system without using the car

seat belts but connecting them directly

to the carseat with three anchors in the

car.
Traditional child restraint systems

can be fitted alongside ISOFIX child

restraint systems on different seats in

the same car.
To install an ISOFIX child restraint

system, attach it to the two metal

anchors (1) fig. 90 located where the

rear seat cushion meets the backrest,

then fix the upper strap (available

together with the restraint system) to

the dedicated anchoring (2) fig. 91

located at the bottom behind the head

restraint.
fig. 93 shows an example of a Universal

ISOFIX child restraint system for weight

group 1.

WARNING The fig. 93 is indicative and

for assembly purposes only. Fit the

child restraint system according to the

instructions, which must be included.

F1B0117C

93

06096J0007EM

NOTE When a Universal ISOFIX child

restraint system is used, only ECE R44

"ISOFIX Universal" (R44/03 or further

upgrades) type-approved child restraint

systems can be used (see fig. 92).

WARNING

90)

Do not use the same lower anchoring

to install more than one child restraint

system.

91)

If a Universal ISOFIX child restraint

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.

92)

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.

i-Size CHILD RESTRAINT

SYSTEMS

These child restraint systems, built and

type-approved according to the i-Size

(ECE R129) standard, ensure better

safety conditions to carry children on

board a vehicle:

the child must be transported

rearward facing until 15 months;

child restraint system protection

is increased in the event of a side

collision;

the use of the ISOFIX system is

promoted to avoid faulty installation of

the child restraint system;

efficiency in the choice of the child

restraint system, which isn't made

according to weight any more but

according to the child's height, is

increased;

compatibility between the vehicle

seats and the child restraint systems is

better: the i-Size child restraint systems

can be considered as "Super ISOFIX";

this means that they can be perfectly

fitted in type-approved i-Size seats, but

can also be fitted in ISOFIX (ECE R44)

type-approved seats.

NOTE If your car seats are i-Size

approved, the symbol shown in fig. 94

will appear on the seats near the

ISOFIX attachments.
