Seat Belts - Renault ESPASE 2005 Manual

SEAT BELTS

Always wear your seat belt when
travelling in your vehicle. You must
also comply with the legislation of
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.
Incorrectly adjusted seat
belts may cause injuries
in the event
accident.
Even pregnant women should
wear a seat belt. In this case,
ensure that the lap belt is not
exerting too much pressure on the
abdomen but do not allow any
slack.

having removed your coat or

your back is positioned correctly.
- Adjust the distance between the
seat and the pedals. Your seat
should be as far back as possible
while still allowing you to fully
depress the clutch pedal. The
seatback should be adjusted so that
your arms are slightly bent when
you hold the steering wheel.
