Fiat Doblo - Sbr System; Pretensioners

SBR SYSTEM
This system consists of a device
which, through the
warning light
coming on the instrument panel
and, depending on vehicle
conditions, an acoustic signal,
warns the driver and front
passenger if their seat belts have
not been fastened (for versions
where provided).
If the driver side and/or the
passenger side seat belts are not
fastened (with passenger seated),
when 20 km/h is exceeded or when
travelling at a speed between 10
and 20 km/h for longer than 5
seconds, an acoustic signal
sequence will be started (continuous
acoustic signal for the first 6
seconds followed by about 90
seconds of intermittent beeping and
the
warning light will flash).
At the end of the cycle the
warning light will stay on fixed
until the engine is switched off or the
seat belts are fastened.
For permanent deactivation, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
The SBR system can also be
reactivated through the setup menu.
PRETENSIONERS
To increase the protective efficiency
of the front seat belts, the vehicle
is fitted with pretensioners. These
devices, in the event of a violent
head-on crash or side impact,
rewind the seat belts a few
centimetres. In this way, they ensure
that the belts fit tightly to the wearer
before the restraining action begins.
The seat belt retractor locks to
indicate that the pretensioner has
cut in; the seat belt cannot be
drawn back up even when guided
manually.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest
degree of protection from the action
of the pretensioner, wear the seat
belt keeping it tight to the chest and
pelvis.
A slight discharge of smoke may be
produced during the activation of
the pretensioner which is not
harmful and does not indicate any
fire hazard.
