The pretensioner can only be used once.
Contact an Abarth Dealership to have it
replaced after it has been deployed. Consult the
label in the glove box to check the status of the
pretensioners. Contact an Abarth Dealership to
have the device replaced when the expiration
date approaches.
WARNING
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 an Abarth Dealership for any
assistance.
LOAD LIMITERS
To increase passenger safety, the front seat belt reels
contain a load limiter which allows controlled sag in
such a way as to dose the force acting on the chest and
shoulders during the belt restraining action in the event
of frontal impact.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
THE SEAT BELTS
The driver must comply with (and have all car
passengers follow) any local regulations in force
concerning the use of seat belts. Always fasten the seat
belts before starting.
Seat belts are also to be worn by expectant mothers:
the risk of injury in the case of accident is greatly
reduced for them and the unborn child if they are
wearing a seat belt.
Of course, expectant mothers must position the lower
part of the belt very low down so that it passes over the
pelvis and under the abdomen fig. 109.
