SAFETY DEVICES
Under no circumstances
should the components of the
seat belts and pretensioners be tam-
pered with or removed. Any operation
should be carried out by qualified and
authorised personnel. Always contact
a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
If the belt has been subject-
ed to heavy stress, for ex-
ample after an accident, it should be
changed completely together with
the anchors, anchor fastening screws
and the pretensioners. In fact, even if
the belt has no visible defects, it could
have lost its resilience.
WARNING
HOW TO KEEP THE SEAT
BELTS ALWAYS IN EFFICIENT
CONDITIONS
Observe the following:
❒ always use the belt with the tap taut and
never twisted; make sure that it is free
to run without impediments;
❒ after a serious accident, replace the belt
being worn at that time, even if it does
not appear damaged. Always replace
the seat belts if pretensioners have
been activated;
❒ to clean the belts, wash by hand with
neutral soap, rinse and leave to dry in
the shade. Never use strong deter-
gents, bleach or dyes or other chemi-
cal substance that might weaken the fi-
bres;
❒ prevent the reels from getting wet:
their correct operation is only guaran-
teed if water does not get inside;
❒ replace the seat belt when showing sig-
nificant wear or cut signs.
