The pretensioner is located in each front
seat belt retractor. The pretensioner tight-
ens the seat belt so the belt fits the oc-
cupant’s body more snugly in the event of
a frontal crash. The retractors will remain
locked after the pretensioners are acti-
vated. Upon activation, some noise will oc-
cur and some smoke may be released.
These conditions are not harmful and do
not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
The driver and all passengers must be
properly restrained by wearing seat belts
at all times, whether or not a pretension-
er is equipped at their seating position, to
minimize the risk of severe injury or death
in the event of a crash.
Sit fully back in the seat; sit up straight; do
not lean forward or sideways. Adjust the
belt so the lap portion of the belt is worn
low across the pelvis, not across the waist.
Please refer to the “Seat Adjustment” sec-
tion and the instructions and precautions
about the seat belts in this “Seat Belts and
Child Restraint Systems” section for de-
tails on proper seat and seat belt adjust-
ments.
Service on or around the
pretensioner system compo-
nents or wiring must be performed
only by an authorized Fiat Dealership
who is specially trained. Improper ser-
vice could result in unintended acti-
vation of pretensioners or could ren-
der the pretensioner inoperative. Ei-
ther of these two conditions may re-
sult in personal injury.
WARNING
To prevent damage or unintended activa-
tion of the pretensioners, be sure the bat-
tery is disconnected and the ignition switch
has been in the “LOCK” position for at
least 90 seconds before performing any
electrical service work on your Fiat.
Do not touch pretensioner system com-
ponents or wiring. The wires are wrapped
with yellow tape or yellow tubing, and the
couplers are yellow. When scrapping your
Fiat, ask your Fiat Dealership, body repair
shop, or scrap yard for assistance.
Please note that the pretensioners along
with the air bags will activate only in se-
vere frontal collisions. They are not de-
signed to activate in rear impacts, side im-
pacts, rollovers, or minor frontal colli-
sions. The pretensioners can be activat-
ed only once. If the pretensioners are ac-
tivated (that is, if the air bags are activat-
ed), have the pretensioner system ser-
viced by an authorized Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.
If the “AIR BAG” light on the instrument
cluster does not blink or come on briefly
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, stays on for more than 10
seconds, or comes on while driving, the
pretensioner system or the air bag system
may not work properly. Have both sys-
tems inspected by an authorized Fiat Deal-
ership as soon as possible.
