Fastening the seat belts
After properly adjusting the seat and
headrest:
• Grip the buckle A, slowly pull the belt
and insert the belt tongue into the buckle
(if the belt locks while you are pulling
B
it out, let it wind back briefly and pull it
out again without jerking).
• Make sure that it has clicked into the
locked position.
• Position the seat belt correctly.
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened, when
you turn the ignition key to position II,
the warning light on the instrument panel
illuminates and remains lit as long as the
seat belt is not fastened.
60 seconds after a speed of 10 km/h (6.21
mph) is exceeded and up to 25 km/h
(15.53 mph), a buzzer sounds to warn the
driver that the seat belt is not fastened.
When the speed of 25 km/h (15.53 mph) is
exceeded, the buzzer activates immediately
52
and stops after 90 seconds. This acoustic
signal is emitted only once, even if the
vehicle speed goes above and below the
above mentioned limits. The acoustic signal
is repeated (when the vehicle speed is in
the indicated ranges) only if the seat belt
is fastened and unfastened again or, in any
case, every time the engine is turned off and
then on.

Do not use any devices (clips, catches, etc.)
that hold the seat belt away from your
body.
Do not allow a child to sit on the
passenger's lap with both of them
fastened with the passenger's seat belt.
Adjusting the seat belt in height
• Press button D to release the adjustment
device and move it to the desired
position.
�
• Always check that it is locked. The seat
belt is properly adjusted when it passes
about mid-way between the end of the
shoulder and the neck. The lower part
must fit tightly across the pelvis and not
the abdomen.
