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.
Seat belts
I n c o r r e c t l y a d j u s t e d o r
twisted seat belts may
cause injuries in the event
of an accident.
Use one seat belt per person,
whether child or adult.
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, first adjust your driv-
ing position, then ask all occupants
to adjust their seat belts to ensure
optimum protection.
Adjusting your driving
position
– 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 fully de -
press the pedals. 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 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.
The shoulder strap 1 should be as close
as possible to the base of the neck but
not on it.
Lap belt 2 should be worn flat over the
thighs and against the pelvis.
The seat belt must be worn as close to
the body as possible. Eg: avoid wearing
heavy clothing or keeping bulky objects
under the belts, etc.

Power-assisted steering
The variable power-assisted steering
system is equipped with an electronic
control system which alters the level of
assistance to suit the vehicle speed.
Steering is made easier during parking
manoeuvres (for added comfort) whilst
the force needed to steer increases
progressively as the speed rises (for
enhanced safety at high speeds).

Adjusting the height.
Pull lever 1 and move the steering
wheel to the required position;
Then, push the lever back fully, beyond
the point of resistance to lock the steer-
ing wheel.
Make sure that the steering wheel is
correctly locked.
For safety reasons, only
adjust the steering wheel
when the vehicle is station-
ary.
1
Never switch off the igni -
tion when travelling down -
hill, and avoid doing so in
normal driving (assistance
is not provided).
Never leave the steering wheel on
full lock when the vehicle is station-
ary.
With the engine switched off, or if
there is a system fault, it is still pos-
sible to turn the steering wheel. The
force required will be greater.
A noise may be heard when the
steering wheel is moved quickly.
This is normal.
