Seat belt instructions for Canadian owners (in French)
The following is a French explanation of seat belt instructions extracted
from the seat belt section in this manual.
See the seat belt section for more detailed seat belt instructions in
English.
Utilisation adéquate des ceintures de sécuritéTirez sur la ceinture épaulière
jusqu’à ce qu’elle recouvre
entièrement l’épaule; elle ne
doit cependant pas toucher le
cou ni glisser de l’épaule.
Placez la ceinture abdominale
le plus bas possible sur les
hanches.
Réglez la position du dossier du
siège. Tenez-vous assis dans le
fond du siège, le dos droit.
Ne vrillez pas la ceinture de
sécurité.
Guide des ceintures de sécurité (sièges latéraux arrière)
Si la ceinture épaulière est trop
près du cou d’une personne,
glissez le guide de la ceinture vers
l’avant.

Entretien et soin
Ceintures de sécurité
Avec un tissu ou une éponge, nettoyez à l’aide d’un savon doux et de l’eau tiède.
Vérifiez aussi les ceintures régulièrement pour vous assurer qu’elles ne présentent
pas d’usure excessive, d’effilochage ou de coupures.
ATTENTION
Dommages et usure de la ceinture de sécuritéVérifiez périodiquement le système de ceintures de sécurité. Assurez-vous qu’il
n’y a pas de coupures, d’effilochures ni de pièces desserrées. N’utilisez pas une
ceinture de sécurité endommagée avant qu’elle soit remplacée. Les ceintures de
sécurité endommagées ne peuvent pas protéger les occupants contre les
blessures.
