GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
40
The pretensioner can
only be used once. After a
collision that has trig-
gered it, have it replaced at a Fi-
at Dealership. The device will last
for 10 years from the date of pro-
duction. Contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship to replace the pretensioners
as this date approaches.
Operations involving
banging, vibrations or
heating (exceeding 100°C
for a maximum of 6 hours) in the
area around the pretensioner
may trigger or damage the de-
vice. Vibrations from rough road
surfaces or accidental jolting
cause by mounting pavements
etc. do not have any effect on the
pretensioner. If, however, you
need any assistance, go to a Fiat
Dealership.
LOAD LIMITING DEVICES
This device reduces the load which
is normally exerted by the seat belts
on the passenger’s shoulder and chest
in a collision. It increases protection
by preventing the micro traumas
which are inevitable in road accidents.
The device is built into the front and
second row side seat belt reels.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE USE OF THE SEAT
BELTS
The driver must make sure that all
occupants use their seat belts prop-
erly in accordance with local legisla-
tion.
Always fasten the seat belts before
starting.
For maximum safety,
keep the back of your seat
upright, lean back into it
and make sure the seat belt fits
closely across your chest and hips.
Make sure the seat belts on the
front and rear passengers are fas-
tened at all times. You increase
the risk of serious injury or death
in a collision if you travel with the
belts unfastened.
