89) Have your seat belts changed
immediately if the pretensioner or load
limiter has been expended. Always have an
expert repairer: contact an Abarth
Dealership immediately for seat belt
pretensioners and air bags inspections
after any collision. Like the air bags, the
seat belt pretensioners and load limiters will
only function once and must be replaced
after any collision that caused them to
deploy. If the seat belt pretensioners and
load limiters are not replaced, the risk of
injury in a collision will increase.
90) Do not modify the components or
wiring, or use electronic testing devices on
the pretensioner system. Modifying the
components or wiring of the pretensioner
system, including the use of electronic
testing devices is dangerous. You could
accidentally activate it or make it inoperable
which would prevent it from activating in an
accident. The occupants or repairers could
be seriously injured.
91) Properly dispose of the pretensioner
system. Improper disposal of the
pretensioner system or a vehicle with non
deactivated pretensioners is dangerous.
Unless all safety procedures are followed,
injury could result. Contact an Abarth
Dealership for safely dispose of the
pretensioner system or scrap a
pretensioner system equipped vehicle.
CHILD-RESTRAINT
PRECAUTIONS
92) 93) 94) 95) 96) 97) 98) 99) 100) 101) 102)
FCA strongly urges the use of
child-restraint systems for children small
enough to use them.
FCA recommends use of a genuine
child-restraint system or one that
complies with the UNECE 44 (*)
regulation. If you would like to purchase
a FCA genuine child-restraint system,
please contact an Abarth Dealership.
Check your local and state or provincial
laws for specific requirements regarding
the safety of children riding in your
vehicle.
(*) UNECE stands for United Nations
Economic Commission for Europe.
Whatever child-restraint system you
consider, please pick the appropriate
one for the age and size of the child,
obey the law and follow the instructions
that come with the individual
child-restraint system.
A child who has outgrown
child-restraint systems should use seat
belts, both lap and shoulder. If the
shoulder belt crosses the neck or face,
move the child closer to the centre of
the vehicle.
A rear-facing child-restraint system
should NEVER be used on the
passenger seat with the air bag system
activated. In the event of an impact the
air bag activation may cause fatal
injuries to the transported child.
To reduce the chance of injuries caused
by deployment of the passenger air
bag, the passenger occupant
classification sensor work as a part of
the supplementary restraint system.
This system deactivates the passenger
front and side air bags and also the
passenger seat belt pretensioner
system when the passenger air bag
deactivation OFF indicator light
illuminates.
