elling in your vehicle. You must also

vide maximum protection.
Incorrectly adjusted seat
belts may cause injuries in

Adjusting your driving
position
– Sit well back in your seat (having
first removed your coat or jacket).
This is essential to ensure your back
is positioned correctly.
– Adjust the distance between the
seat and the pedals.
Your seat should be as far back as
possible while still allowing you to
depress the clutch pedal fully. The
seatback should be adjusted so that
your arms are slightly bent when you
hold the steering wheel.
– Adjust the position of your head-
rest.
For safety reasons, the top of the
headrest must be level with the top
of the head.
– Adjust the height of the seat.
This adjustment allows you to select
the seat position which offers you the
best possible view.
– Adjust the position of the steering
wheel.

Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.
Shoulder strap 1 should be as close as
possible to the base of the neck but not
on it.
Lap belt 2 should be worn flat over the
thighs and against the pelvis.
The belt should be worn so that it is
as close as possible to your body,
i.e.: avoid wearing heavy clothing or
allowing bulky objects under the belts.
