From approximately 12 mph (20 km/h),
this warning lamp flashes for 2 minutes
accompanied by an audible signal of increasing
volume, if the driver and/or the front passenger
have not fastened their seat belt. Once these
2 minutes have elapsed, this warning lamp
remains on until the driver and/or the front
passenger fastens their seat belt.
Rear seat belts
The rear seats are each fitted with a three-point
seat belt.
Fastening
F Pull the strap then insert the tongue in the
buckle.
F Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.
Unfastening
F Press the red button on the buckle.
F Guide the seat belt as it reels in.
Advice
The driver must ensure that passengers
use the seat belts correctly and that they
are all fastened before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for
short journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles
as they will not fulfil their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia
reel permitting automatic adjustment of
the length of the strap to your size. The
seat belt is stowed automatically when not
in use.
The inertia reels have an automatic
locking device at the time of a collision,
during sudden braking or if the vehicle
turns over. You can release the device by
pulling the strap firmly and then releasing
it so that it reels in slightly.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is reeled in correctly.
After folding or moving a seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is
positioned and reeled in correctly.
Installation
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the
pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
- be tightened as close to the body as
possible,
- be pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not
twist,
- be used to restrain only one person,
- not show any signs of cuts or fraying,
- not be converted or modified to avoid
affecting its performance.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger
is less than 12 years old or shorter than
one and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure
more than one child.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
For more information on Child seats, refer
to the corresponding section.
