Seat Belts - Alfa Romeo 4C Owner's Handbook Manual

SEAT BELTS

USING THE SEAT BELTS
The belt should be worn keeping the
torso straight and rested against the
backrest. To fasten the seat belts, hold
the tongue A fig. 65 and insert it into
the buckle B, until it clicks into place.

On removal of the belt, if it jams, let
it rewind for a short stretch, then pull it
out again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button
C and guide the seat belt with your
hand while it is rewinding, to prevent it
from twisting.

The retractor may lock when the car 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.
Alfa Romeo suggests: since the seat
belt can provide optimal protection
if the area on the abdomen is tight on
the body, after attachment it is
advisable to pull upwards the
transversal part of the belt, taking care
not to twist it.
GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USING THE SEAT BELTS
Comply with (and make sure all car
A0L0050
passengers follow) the local laws in
force regarding the use of seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.
Seat belts must also be worn by
pregnant women: the risk of injury in
the event of an accident is reduced for
them and the unborn child if they are
wearing a seat belt.
Pregnant women must position the
lower part of the belt very low down so
that it passes over the pelvis and under
the abdomen fig. 66.
66
The belt must not be twisted. The
upper part must pass over the shoulder
and cross the chest diagonally. The
lower part must adhere to the pelvis fig.
67, not to the abdomen of the
occupant. Never use devices (clips,
clamps, etc.) to hold the seat belt away
from your body.
