The displayed icons indicate:
(2): rear left seat belt;
(3): rear right seat belt.
With the car travelling as speed lower
than 20 km/h, if a rear seat belt is
unfastened, the icon stays on with fixed
red light for a total of approximately 65
seconds.
The icons are displayed according to
the corresponding rear seat belts and
stay on for about 65 seconds from the
last seat belt status change:
if the seat belt is fastened the
corresponding icon will be green;
if the seat belt is unfastened the
corresponding icon will be red.
If the car is travelling at a speed
faster than 20 km/h and reverse is
not engaged, if a rear seat belt is
unbuckled, an acoustic warning
is sounded when the icon blinks
for approximately 35 seconds.
Successively, the acoustic warning is
deactivated and the icon lights up with
fixed light until the end of the entire
cycle.
Furthermore, the icons light up to
indicate the status of the seat belts
whenever one of the front doors is
opened.
WARNING As far as the rear seats
are concerned, the SBR system will
only indicate whether the seat belts
are unfastened or fastened, not the
presence of any passengers.
The icons will activate a few seconds
after the ignition device has been
turned to MAR, regardless of the status
of the seat belts (even if the seat belts
are all fastened).
All icons light up when at least one belt
changes from fastened to unfastened
or vice versa and/or when one of the
front doors is opened with the ignition
device in the MAR position.
PRE-TENSIONERS
The car is equipped with front seat
belts pretensioners, that reduce slack
in the belts in the event of a severe
frontal collision. This guarantees the
perfect adherence of the seat belts
to the occupants' bodies before the
restraining action begins.
It is evident that the pretensioners have
operated when the belt withdraws
towards the retractor.
This car is also equipped with a second
pretensioner (fitted 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.
WARNING 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 or mud, have it
replaced.
