ADJUSTING THE FRONT SEAT
BELT HEIGHT
(where provided)
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 regulation is obtained when the
belt passes approximately half way
between the shoulder and the neck.
To adjust, move the grip A-fig. 4of the
locking mechanism either up or down and
at the same time move the ring B to the
most suitable of the allowed positions.
USING THE MIDDLE SEAT BELT

The seat belt is provided with a double
buckle and fastening tab.
To prepare the seat belt for use, extract
the tabs from seat H and P-fig. 5of the
winder and pull the seat belt, making the
webbing run. Avoid twisting and tugging.
Then insert tab G-fig. 6into the buckle
Lwith button M.
Remember that in the event
of a violent collision, back
seat passengers not wearing seat belts
also represent a serious danger for
the front seat passengers.
WARNING
The height of the seat belts
must be adjusted with the
car at a standstill.
WARNING
After adjustment, always
check that the cursor to whi-
ch the ring is fastened is locked in one
of the set positions. Release the grip
and push downwards to enable the
locking device to click if the grip has
not been released in one of the pos-
sible positions.
