Seat Belts/Methods Of Restraint In Addition To The Front Seat Belts - Renault Clio 2003 Owner's Manual

SEAT BELTS
Always wear your seat belt when
travelling in your car. You must also
comply with the local legislation in
the particular country you are in.
Before driving off:
- First ensure that your driving
position is correct.
- Then adjust your seat belt to
provide maximum protection.
We would advise you not
to recline the seatbacks
excessively
that the effectiveness of
the seat belts is not reduced.
Make sure the seatback is locked
in place correctly.
Nothing should be placed on the
floor (area in front of driver) as
such objects may slide under
the pedal during
manoeuvres, thus obstructing its
use.
Adjusting your driving position
• Sit with your back firmly against
the seatback.
This is essential to ensure that
your lumbar vertebrae are in the
correct position.
• 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
headrest.
For maximum safety your head
should be as close as possible to
to ensure
the headrest.
• Adjust the height of the seat.
This adjustment allows you to
select the seat position which
offers you the best possible
vision.
braking
• Adjust the position of the steering
wheel.
