WARNING
LOAD LIMITERS
To increase passenger safety, the front seat belt reels
contain a load limiter which controls the force
acting on the chest and shoulders during the belt
restraining action in the event of a head-on collision.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
THE SEAT BELTS
The driver is responsible for respecting (and ensuring
that all the other passengers also respect) the local
laws in force regarding the use of seat belts. Always
fasten the seat belts before starting.
Seat belts must also be worn by expectant mothers:
the risk of injury in the event of an accident is greatly
reduced for them and the unborn child if they are
wearing a seat belt. Pregnant women must position
the lower part of the belt very low down so that
it passes over the pelvis and under the abdomen (see
fig. 148).
