Safety

Seat belts

Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a
pretensioning system and force limiter.
This system improves safety in the front seats
in the event of a front impact.
Depending on the seriousness of the impact,
the pretensioning system instantly tightens the
seat belt against the body of the occupant.
154
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the chest of the occupant,
so increasing his protection.
Fastening
F Pull the belt down in front of you in a steady
movement, making sure that it does not
become twisted.
F Press the fastening into its buckle.
F Check that it is properly secured and that
the automatic locking mechanism operates
correctly by pulling sharply on the belt
strap.
F The lap strap should be positioned as low
down as possible in the lap and as tight as
possible.
F The diagonal strap should be positioned
across the chest and away from the neck.
Each belt has a reel that adjusts its length
automatically to the girth of the seat occupant.

Height adjustment

When correctly adjusted, the seat belt shoulder
strap falls over the middle of the shoulder.
F To adjust the belt, squeeze the control and
slide it in the direction required.
Unfastening
F To unfasten the belt, press on the red
button in the buckle.
The belt retracts automatically when not in use.
