belt to the body of the passenger.
This precaution may considerably
reduce the risk of injury in the event

half way between the shoulder and
the neck.
According to the version, there may

positions fig. 22:

HOW TO USE THE
SEAT BELTS fig. 21
To fasten the seat belts, hold the
tongue A and insert it into the
buckle B, until it clicks into place.

jams, let it rewind for a short
stretch, then pull it out again
without jerking.

F0X0022m
To unfasten the seat belt, press
button C. Guide the seat belt while
it is rewinding, to prevent it from
twisting. Through the reel, the belt
automatically adapts to the body of
the passenger wearing it, allowing
freedom of movement.
The reel may lock when the vehicle
is parked on a steep slope: this is
normal.
Furthermore, the reel mechanism
locks the belt if it is pulled sharply or
in the event of sudden braking,
collisions and high-speed bends.
For maximum
protection, keep the
backrest upright, lean back
into it and make sure that the
seat belt fits closely across the
chest and pelvis.
