Seats, restraints49Seat belts
The seat belts are locked during
heavy acceleration or deceleration of
the vehicle, holding the occupants in
the seat position. Therefore the risk of injury is considerably reduced.

not wearing seat belts endanger their fellow occupants and

system for damage, soiling and
proper functionality.

reminder, indicated for front seats by
control indicator X in the tachometer
