Rear seat belts shall be worn as shown in
fig. 38. Fig. 39 shows improper belt fas-
tening. To tilt the back rest see paragraph
"Boot extension".
IMPORTANT The centre rear seatbelt is
installed on request only for versions/mar-
kets on which it is required.
IMPORTANT Remember that, in the
event of an accident, any passengers occu-
pying the rear seats who are not wearing
a seat belt not only subject themselves to
great personal risk, but constitute a danger
to the occupants of the front seats.

PRE-TENSIONING DEVICES

To increase the efficiency of the front seat
belts, the car is fitted with pre-tensioning de-
vices. These devices "feel" that the car is
being subject to a violent impact by way of
a sensor and rewind the seat belts a few
centimetres. In this way they ensure that
the seat belt adheres to the wearer before
the restraining action begins.
The seat belt locks to indicate that the de-
vice has intervened; the seat belt cannot be
drawn back up even when guiding it man-
ually.
IMPORTANT The pretensioner will give
maximum protection when the seat belt ad-
heres snugly to wearer's chest and hips.
