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 abdominal part of the strap
should be positioned as low
down as possible in the lap and
as tight as possible.

 The chest part should be posi-
tioned if possible in the channel
of the shoulder.
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 pressure
of the seat belt against the chest of
the occupant, so increasing his pro-
tection.
The correct positioning of the seat
belt reel is around mid-shoulder
level.

 To adjust the belt, pinch the con-
trol and slide it in the direction
required.
Unfastening

 To unfasten the belt, press on
the red button in the buckle.
The belt retracts automatically when
not in use.
