– then adjust your seat belt to pro-
vide maximum protection.
Incorrectly adjusted seat
belts may cause injuries in
the event of an accident.
Even pregnant women
should wear a seat belt. In this case,
ensure that the lap belt is not exert-

Adjusting your driving
position
– Sit well back in your seat (having
first removed your coat or jacket).
This is essential to ensure 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
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 head-
rest.
For safety reasons, the top of the
headrest must be level with the top
of the head.
– Adjust the position of the steering
wheel.
