C fig. 64 and guide the seat belt with
your hand while it is rewinding, to
prevent it from twisting.
68) 69)
The retractor may lock when the vehicle
is parked on a steep slope: this is
perfectly normal. Furthermore, the
retractor mechanism locks the belt if it
is pulled sharply or in the event of
sudden braking, collisions or
high-speed bends.
Once seated, wear the rear seat belts
as shown in fig. 65.
IMPORTANT When returning the rear
seat from the tilted position to the
normal operating position, take care to
refit the seat belt correctly, in order to
guarantee prompt availability every
time.

ADJUSTING THE SEAT
BELT HEIGHT
70) 71)
Five different adjustments in height are
possible.
To carry out window height adjustment,
from the top to the bottom, buttons A
fig. 66 (located on both sides of handle
B) must be pressed simultaneously
(towards each other), and the handle
must be slid downwards.
To carry out window height adjustment,
from the top to the bottom, handle B
must be slid (without pressing
anything).
Always adjust the height of the seat
belts to fit the person wearing it: this
precaution could greatly reduce the risk
of injury in the event of collision.
Correct adjustment is obtained when
the belt passes approximately half way
between the shoulder and the neck.

WARNING
68) Do not press button C fig. 64 while
travelling.
69) Remember that, in the event of a
violent collision, back-seat passengers not
wearing seat belts represent a serious
danger to the front-seat passengers as well
as to themselves.
70) The height of the seat belts must be
adjusted with the vehicle stationary.
71) After the adjustment, always check that
the handle is locked in one of the preset
positions. To do this, with buttons A fig. 66
released, exert further pressure downwards
to allow the locking device to click if the
grip has not been released in one of the
possible positions.
