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
first removed your coat or jacket).
This is essential to ensure your back
is positioned correctly;
–

a
djust 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;
–

a
djust 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.
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 belt should be worn so that it is
as close as possible to your body, i.e.:
avoid wearing heavy clothing or keep-
ing bulky objects under the belts, etc.

ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (2/3)
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive
with a light right foot.
–

Brake

ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-
vance, you may then simply release
the accelerator pedal.
–

D
o not try to maintain the same
speed up a hill, accelerate no more
than you would on the level. Keep
your foot in the same position on the
accelerator pedal.
–

Double
declutching and accelerating
before switching off are unnecessary
in modern vehicles.
–

Bad weather
, flooded roads:
Do not drive through floods
if the water is above the
lower edge of the wheel
rims.Driving– Drive carefully for the first few miles until the engine reaches its normal
operating temperature, rather than
let it warm up while the vehicle is sta-
tionary.

–

Do
not overrev the engine in the in-
termediate gears.
A

lways use the highest gear possi-
ble without labouring the engine.

until the light stops flashing. Contact
your approved dealer as soon as
possible.
