SEAT BELTS (1/4)
Always wear your seat belt when trav-
elling in your vehicle. You must also
comply with the legislation of the par-
ticular country you are in.
Incorrectly adjusted or
twisted seat belts may
cause injuries in the event
of an accident.
The seatbelt is for the use of one
person only, whether adult or child.
Even pregnant women should wear
a seat belt. In this case, ensure that
the lap belt is not exerting too much
pressure on the abdomen, but do
not allow any slack.
Before starting, adjust your driving
position and then have each occu-
pant adjust their seat belt to ensure
optimum protection.
Adjusting your driving position
(depending on the vehicle)
– Sit well back in your seat (having
removed your coat or jacket etc.).
This is essential to ensure your back
is positioned correctly;
– adjust the distance between the
seat and the pedals. Your seat
should be as far back as possible
while still allowing you to depress
the clutch pedal fully. The seatback
should be adjusted so that your arms
are slightly bent when you hold the
steering wheel;
– adjust the position of your head- rest. For the maximum safety, your
head must be as close as possible to
the headrest;
– adjust the height of the seat. This
adjustment allows you to select the
seat position which offers you the
best possible view;
– adjust the position of the steering
wheel.
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.
Shoulder strap 1 should be as close as
possible to the base of the neck but not
on it.
Lap belt 2 must be worn flat over the
thighs and against the pelvis. The seat
belt must be worn as close to the body
as possible. i.e.: avoid wearing heavy
clothing or keeping bulky objects under
the belts, etc.

Make sure that the rear bench seat
is locked in position correctly so that

ciently. Refer to the information on
the “Rear bench seat: functions” in
Section 3.

SEAT BELTS (2/4)
To fasten
Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly
and ensure that buckle 4 locks into
catch 6 (check that it is locked by pulling
on buckle 4). If it jams, allow it to return
before attempting to unwind it again. If
your seat belt is completely jammed,
pull slowly, but firmly so that just over
3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly
before attempting to unwind it again.
If there is still a problem, contact an ap-
proved dealer.
Adjusting the front seat belt
height
(depending on the vehicle)
Move button 7 to select the position you
require so that chest strap 3 is worn as
described above.
Make sure that the seat belt is locked
in position correctly after you have ad-
justed it.
ßSeat belt reminder light
Depending on the vehicle, it
comes on when the engine is started
and if the driver’s and/or passenger’s
seat belt is not fastened. When the ve-
hicle is being driven, it comes on and a
beep sounds for approximately 2 min-
utes until the driver’s seat belt is fas-
tened.
Note: an object placed on the passen-
ger seat base may activate the warning
light in some cases.
Unlocking

is wound up by the inertia reel. Guide
the buckle to facilitate this manoeuvre.
