SAFETY
Never press button C when travelling.
The reel may lock when the car is parked on a steep
slope: this is perfectly normal. Furthermore, the
reel mechanism locks the belt if it is pulled sharply
or in the event of sudden braking, collisions and
high-speed bends.
The rear seat is fitted with inertia seat belts with
three anchor points and a reel.
Remember that in the event of a violent
collision, back seat passengers not
wearing seat belts also represent a serious
danger for the front seat passengers.
