Operation Manual

SBR SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The car is provided with the SBR (Seat Belt
Reminder) system, which warns the driver and the
front passenger if their seat belts are not fastened, as
follows:
❒ warning light
switched on constantly and
continuos beep for the first 6 seconds;
❒ warning light
flashes and intermittent beep for
the next 96 seconds.
For permanent deactivation, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
The SBR system can be reactivated through the
display setup menu.
PRETENSIONERS
The car is equipped with front seat belts
pretensioners, that reduce slack in the belts in the
event of a severe frontal impact. This guarantees the
perfect adherence of the seat belts to the occupants'
bodies before the restraining action begins.
The retractors lock to indicate that the pretensioner
has intervened.
This car is also equipped with a second pretensioner
(in the kick plate area). Its activation is signalled by
the shortening of the metal cable.
A slight discharge of smoke may be produced during
the activation of the pretensioner which is not
harmful and does not involve any fire hazard.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest degree of
protection from the action of the pretensioner, wear
the seat belt tight to the chest and pelvis.
The pretensioner does not require any maintenance
or lubrication: any changes to its original conditions
will invalidate its efficiency. If, due to unusual natural
events (floods, sea storms, etc.), the device has
been affected by water and mud, it must be replaced.
WARNING
The pretensioner may be used only
once. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have
it replaced after it has been deployed.
