Press button 3 to release the belt. Guide
the safety belt while it is rewinding to
prevent it from twisting. Through the
retractor, the safety belt automatically
adapts to the body of the passenger
wearing it, allowing freedom of
movement.
The retractor may lock when the vehicle
is parked on a steep slope: this is
perfectly normal. Furthermore, the reel
mechanism locks the belt if it is pulled
sharply or in the event of sudden braking,
collisions and high-speed bends.
The rear seat is fitted with inertia seat
belts with three anchor points and a
retractor.
Wear the rear safety belts according to
the illustration fig. 44.

is correctly secured when the red band 2
fig. 45 on the backrest folding handles

back to their normal position, make sure
the seat belts are positioned so they are
ready to use.

secured on both sides (red bands not visible)
to prevent it from moving forward in the
event of sharp braking, causing injuries to
occupants.
