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 surface or low obstacles
such as kerbs, etc. Contact a Fiat
Dealership for any assistance.
A small amount of smoke may be
produced. This smoke is in no way
toxic and presents no fire hazard.
The pretensioner does not require
any maintenance or greasing. Anything
that modifies its original conditions in-
validates its efficiency. If due to unusual
natural events (floods, sea storms,
etc.) the device has been affected by
water and mud, it must necessarily be
replaced.
The pretensioner can
only be used once.
After a collision that has
triggered it, have it replaced at
a Fiat Dealership. The validity of
the device is written on the plate
located on the front left door
post. The pretensioners should
be replaced at a Fiat Dealership
as this date approaches.
PRETENSIONERS
In order to make the safety belt pro-
tective action even more efficient, ve-
hicle is equipped with pretensioners
on driver side and on front passenger
side (if car is equipped with passen-
ger side air bag option), that, in case
of a violent front crash, recall the safe-
ty belt by a few cm, thus ensuring
proper adherence of safety belt to pas-
senger body, before the retaining ac-
tion starts.
The seat belt locks to indicate that
the device has intervened; the seat belt
cannot be drawn back up even when
guiding it manually.
IMPORTANT To obtain the high-
est degree of protection from the ac-
tion of the pretensioning device, wear
the seat belt keeping it firmly close to
the chest and pelvis.
