Fiat 2013 Ducato 250, Owner'S Handbook Manual

Page: 135 / 331

SBR SYSTEM
The vehicle is fitted with a Seat Belt Reminder
system (SBR), consisting of a buzzer and the flashing
warning light on the instrument panel which
warns the driver that the seat belt must be fastened.
The buzzer can be deactivated (until the next time
the engine stops) as follows:
❒
fasten the driver's seat belt;
❒
turn the ignition key to the MAR-ON position;
❒
wait for over 20 seconds and then release one of
the seat belts.
For permanent deactivation, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
With a digital display, the SBR system can be
reactivated only at a Fiat Dealership.
With a multifunction display, the SBR system can also
be re-enabled through the setup menu.
PRETENSIONERS
To increase the protective efficiency of the front seat
belts, the vehicle is fitted with pretensioners. These
devices, in the event of a violent head-on crash or
side impact, rewind the seat belts a few centimetres.
In this way, they ensure that the belts fit tightly to
the wearer before the restraining action begins.
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 highest degree of
protection from the action of the pretensioning
device, wear the seat belt tight to the chest and
pelvis.
A slight discharge of smoke may be produced during
the activation of the pretensioner which is not in
harmful and does not involve any fire hazard.
The pretensioner does not require any maintenance
or lubrication. Any changes to their original
conditions will invalidate their efficiency. If, due to
unusual natural events (floods, sea storms, etc.), the
device has been affected by water and mud, it must
absolutely be replaced.
