Make sure the anchor-
age holes are always
clean; if debris has got in-
to them it interferes with the
seats being locked securely into
place.
Before starting off again,
make sure that the seats
are facing the front of the
vehicle and are properly fastened
to their anchorage points. The
seat belts can only be used effec-
tively in this position.
The seats can be arranged in other
ways by removing the middle row and
thus increasing the space available be-
tween the first and third row.

HEAD RESTRAINTS
Remember the head re-
straints must be posi-
tioned so that they sup-
port the back of the head and not
the neck. Only in this position will
they protect you properly in the
event of an end-shunt collision.Front seats fig. 47
The head restraints can be adjusted
for height and tilt.
To adjust height, lift or lower the
head restraint to get the required po-
sition.
To make the adjustment operate the
head restraint as shown in the figure.
In order to use the head
restraint in the correct
way, adjust the seat back
so that the chest is in upright po-
sition and the head is as closest to
the head restraint as possible.

Remember that in the
case of a violent collision,
back seat passengers not
wearing seat belts, in addition to
being personally exposed to se-
rious risk, also represent a seri-
ous danger to the passengers in
the front.
Make the height adjust-
ment when the car is sta-
tionary. ADJUSTING SEAT BELT
HEIGHT fig. 57Always adjust the height of the seat
belt to fit the person wearing it. This
could greatly reduce the risk of injury
in the case of collision. The belt is ad-
justed properly when the webbing
passes approximately halfway between
the edge of the shoulder and the neck.
Correct adjustment is obtained when
the belt passes half way between the
end of the shoulder and the neck.
Three height adjustment are possi-
ble.
To adjust, press button A(as shown
by the arrows) and raise or lower the
grip.After you have made the
adjustment, always make
sure that the loop is at-
tached firmly in one of the fixed
positions and cannot move. To
do this, with the button released,
exert a further pressure to allow
the anchor device to catch if re-
lease did not take place at one of
the preset positions.
