INDEX
Under no circumstances should the seat
belt and pretensioner components be re-
moved or tampered with. All interventions must
be performed by qualified and authorised per-
sonnel only. Always go to a Fiat Dealership
WARNING
If the belt has been subjected to a heavy
stress, for example after an accident, it
should be changed completely together with the
anchors, anchor fastening screws and the pre-
tensioner. In fact, even if the belt has no visible
defects, it could have lost its resilience.
WARNING
Each seat belt must be worn by one per-
son only; do not carry children on your
lap with one seat belt protecting both. In gen-
eral, do not place any objects between the per-
son and belt.
WARNING
HOW TO KEEP THE SEAT BELTS ALWAYS
IN EFFICIENT CONDITIONS
Observe the following precautions for correct seat belt
maintenance:
❒
always use the belts with the tap well stretched and
never twisted; make sure that it is free to run without
impediments;
❒
replace the belt after an accident of a certain severity
even if it does not appear damaged. Always replace the
belt if the pretensioners were deployed;
❒
to clean the belt, wash by hand with water and mild
soap, rinse and leave to dry in the shade. Do not use
strong detergents, bleach, paints or any other substance
which could damage the belt fibres;
❒
prevent the reels from getting wet: their correct op-
eration is only guaranteed if water does not get inside;
❒
replace the seat belt when showing significant wear or
cut signs.
