SEAT BELTS

USING THE SEAT BELTS
fig. 1
The seat belt should be worn keeping
the chest straight and rested against the
backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the
tongue A and insert it into the buckle
B, until the locking click is heard. If the
seat belt jams during removal, let it
rewind for a short stretch, then pull it
out again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button
C. Guide the seat belt while it is
rewinding, to prevent it from twisting.
Through the retractor, the seat belt
automatically adapts to the body of the
occupant wearing it, allowing freedom
of movement.
Never press button C when
travelling.

The retractor may lock when the car is
parked on a steep slope: this is normal.
Furthermore, the retractor mechanism
locks the belt if it is pulled sharply or in
the event of sudden braking, collisions
and high-speed bends. The rear seat is
fitted with inertia seat belts with three
anchor points and a retractor.
Wear the rear seat belts as shown in
figure 1a.
WARNING
the rear seat passengers not
wearing seat belts are exposed to a
very serious risk and also represent
a serious danger for the front seat
occupants.
