SEAT BELTS
USING THE FRONT AND
REAR SIDE SEAT BELTS
The belt should be worn keeping the chest straight and rested against the
seat back.
To fasten the belt, take hold the tongue (A) and insert it into the buckle
(B), until hearing the locking click.
At removal, if it jams, let it rewind for a short stretch, then pull it out
again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button (C). Guide the seat belt with
your hand while it is rewinding, to prevent it from twisting.
Through the reel, the belt automatically adapts to the body of the
passenger wearing it, allowing freedom of movement.
When the car is parked on a steep slope the reel mechanism may block;
this is normal. The reel mechanism prevents the webbing coming out
when it is jerked or if the car brakes sharply, in a collision or when
cornering at high speed.
The rear seat is fitted with inertial seat belts with three anchor points
and reel.
Rear seat belts shall be worn as shown in diagram (D) (5-seat versions)
or as shown in diagram (E) (4-seat versions).

system only through the set-up menu (see “Warning
lights and messages” section at paragraph “Unfastened
seat belts”).

FRONT SEAT BELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (where provided)

precaution could greatly reduce the risk of injury in case of collision.
Correct adjustment is obtained when the belt passes half way between
the end of the shoulder and the neck.
To adjust the seat belt, raise or lower knob (A) of the locking
mechanism, moving at the same time the loop (B) to the best of the
available positions.
USING THE CENTRAL SEAT BELT (where provided)
The seat belt has two webbings and a double buckle.
To use the seat belt, take tongues (H) and (P) from their seats in the reel
compartment and pull the seat belt sliding the webbing carefully without
twisting or jerking it, then fasten the tongue (G) in buckle (L) with button
(M).
