The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly and that they are all
fastened
  before   setting   off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do
  not   interchange   the   seat   belt   buckles   as  
t

hey   will   not   fulfil   their   role   fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
permitting
  automatic   adjustment   of   the   length  
o

f   the   strap   to   your   size.   The   seat   belt   is  
s

towed   automatically   when   not   in   use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt
is
  reeled   in   correctly.
The
  lower   part   of   the   strap   must   be   positioned  
a

s   low   as   possible   on   the   pelvis.
The
  upper   part   must   be   positioned   in   the  
h

ollow   of   the   shoulder.
The
  inertia   reels   are   fitted   with   an   automatic  
l

ocking   device   which   comes   into   operation   in  
t

he   event   of   a   collision,   emergency   braking  
o

r   if   the   vehicle   rolls   over.   You   can   release  
t

he   device   by   pulling   the   strap   firmly   and   then  
r

eleasing   it   so   that   it   reels   in   slightly.Recommendations for children

  allow   a   child   to   travel   on   your   lap.
For
  more   information   on   child   seats,   refer   to
