SAFETY
SEAT BELTS

Front seat belts

The front seat belts are fi tted with a
pretensioning system and force limiter.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front impact.
Depending on the seriousness of the
impact, the pretensioning system in-
stantly tightens the seat belt against
the body of the occupant.
Fastening


)
Pull the belt down in front of you
in a steady movement, making
sure that it does not become
twisted.

)

Press the fastening into its buckle.

)
Check that it is properly secured
and that the automatic locking
mechanism operates correctly
by pulling sharply on the belt
strap.

)
The lap strap should be posi-
tioned as low down as possible in
the lap and as tight as possible.

)
The diagonal strap should be
positioned across the chest and
away from the neck.
Each belt has a reel that adjusts its
length automatically to the girth of
the seat occupant.

Height adjustment
The pretensioning seat belts are
active when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pres-
sure of the seat belt against the
chest of the occupant, so increasing
his protection.

When correctly adjusted, the seat
belt shoulder strap falls over the
middle of the shoulder.


)
To adjust the belt, squeeze the
control and slide it in the direc-
tion required.



Unfastening


)
