SEAT BELTS
USING 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. 152 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.
99)
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
To adjust, use button A fig. 153 and
raise or lower handle B.
100) 101)
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. 154.
