SEAT BELTSUSING THE SEAT BELTS
The belt should be worn keeping the
torso straight and rested against the
backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the
tongue A fig. 151 and insert it into the
buckle B, until it clicks into place.
On removal, if the seat belt 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 retractor, the belt
automatically adapts to the body of the
passenger wearing it, allowing freedom
of movement.The retractor may lock up when the
vehicle is parked on a steep slope: this
is perfectly normal.
Furthermore, the retractor mechanism
locks the belt if it is pulled sharply or
in the event of sudden braking,
collisions or high-speed bends.
95)
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
To adjust, use button A fig. 152 and
raise or lower handle B.
96) 97)
Always adjust the seat belt height to the
passenger's body. This precaution
may considerably reduce the risk of
injury in the event of a collision.
Correct adjustment is obtained when
the belt passes approximately half way
between the shoulder and the neck.Seat belt with retractor
for front central place
on bench seat
The two-seater front bench is equipped
with an on-board seat belt (retractor
on seat) with three anchorage points for
the central position fig. 153.
WARNING
95) Never press button C fig. 151
when travelling.
96) The height of the seat belts must
be adjusted with the vehicle
stationary.
