PRETENSIONERS

To increase the efficiency of the seat belts,

the car is fitted with pretensioners. These

devices, in the event of a violent crash,

rewind the seat belts a few centimetres.

In this way they ensure that the seat belt

adheres perfectly to the wearer before the

restraining action begins.

The seat belt locks to indicate that the de-

vice has intervened; the seat belt cannot

be drawn back up even when guiding it

manually.

IMPORTANT To obtain the highest de-

gree of protection from the action of the

pretensioner, wear the seat belt keeping

it firmly close to the chest and pelvis.

A slight amount of smoke may be detect-

ed during operation of the pretensioners.

This smoke is not harmful and does not

indicate a fire.

The pretensioner does not require any

maintenance or greasing.

Anything that modifies its original condi-

tions invalidates its efficiency.

If due to unusual natural events (floods,

seas storm, etc.) the device has been af-

fected by water and mud, it must neces-

sarily be replaced.

LOAD LIMITERS

To increase passenger’s safety, the front

seat belt reels contain a load limiter which

allows controlled sag in such a way as to

dose the force acting on the chest and

shoulders during the belt restraining ac-

tion in case of front crash.

The pretensioner can only

be used once. Go to a Fiat

Dealership to have it replaced after

is has been deployed. The expiration

date is shown on the label in the odd-

ment compartment: go to a Fiat

Dealership to have the device re-

placed when the expiration date ap-

proaches.

WARNING

Operations which lead to

knocks, vibrations or localised

heating (over 100°C for a

maximum of 6 hours) in the

area around the pretensioners may

cause damage or trigger them. These

devices are not affected by vibrations

caused by irregularities of the road sur-

face or low obstacles such as kerbs, etc.

Contact a Fiat Dealership for any as-

sistance.
