When the car is parked on a steep slope
the reel mechanism may block; this is nor-
mal. 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 speeds.
The rear seat is fitted with inertial seat
belts with three anchor points and reel.
As an optional, (only for homologated 5-
seat cars) also the centre seat can be fit-
ted with three anchor points and reel or
with lap belt with two anchor points for
versions/markets where applicable.
IMPORTANT Remember that in the
event of a violent collision, back seat pas-
sengers not wearing seat belts also rep-
resent a serious danger for front seat pas-
sengers.SEAT BELT HEIGHT
ADJUSTMENT (where provided)
Four different adjustments in height are
provided.
To adjust, press button A-fig. 2and low-
er or raise the grip B.
Always adjust the height of the seat belt
to fit the person wearing it: this precau-
tion 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.
See texts and figures given in paragraph
“General instructions for using the seat
belts” in this section.
SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS fig. 1
The belt should be worn keeping the chest
straight and rested against the seat back.
To fasten the seat belts, take hold the
tongue Aand 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 auto-
matically adapts to the body of the pas-
senger wearing it, allowing freedom of
movement.
