Under no circumstances should the seat
belt and pretensioner components be re-
moved or tampered with. All operations must be
performed by qualified and authorised personnel.
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 preten-
sioner. In fact, even if the belt has no visible de-
fects, it could have lost its resilience.
WARNING
Each seat belt must be worn by one per-
son only; passengers should not have ba-
bies or children on their lap and use the belts to
protect both of them. In general, do not place any
objects between the person and the belt.
WARNING
HOW TO KEEP THE SEAT BELTS EFFECTIVE
Observe the following precautions for correct seat belt
maintenance:
❒ always make sure the belt is well stretched and never
twisted; make sure that it is free to run without ob-
structions;
❒ replace the belt after a serious accident, even if it does
not appear damaged. Always replace the seat 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 chemi-
cals which could damage the belt fibres;
❒ prevent the reels from getting wet: their correct op-
eration is guaranteed only if water does not get inside;
❒ replace the seat belt when it shows signs of significant
wear or cuts.
