How to fasten seat belts

Warning
For an effective restraining action, the seat belt must be fastened
correctly with the seat backrest in the upright position.
The seat belt is fastened correctly when the upper part of the
belt crosses the centre of the shoulder (not the neck) and the
abdominal section is fitted over the hips (not the abdomen).
Make sure it is not twisted and that it passes closely over your
body; if not, in the event of a head-on collision, it may move
and cause injury to the abdomen.
Avoid wearing bulky clothing that may interfere with the correct
operating of the seat belts.
Once you have adjusted the seat correctly (see page 167);
• Grip the latch plate A, slowly pull the belt and insert the latch
plate into the buckle B (if the belt locks while you are pulling it
out, let it wind back briefly and pull it out again without jerking).

Warning
To position the front seat belt correctly, make sure that it passes
through the loop C, as shown in the figure.
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened, when you turn the ignition
key to position II, the warning light
lights up and remains lit until the seat belt is fastened.
55 seconds after a speed of 10 km/h is exceeded, a buzzer sounds
warning the driver that the seat belt is not fastened.
When a speed of 20 km/h is exceeded, the buzzer activates
immediately and stops after 90 seconds.
