Seat belts
The reasons why we should
wear seat belts
Number of seats
Your vehicle has five seats, two in the front
and three in the rear. Each seat is equipped
with a three-point seat belt.
In some versions, your vehicle is approved
only for four seats. Two front seats and two
rear seats.
WARNING
Never transport more than the permitted
●
amount of people in your vehicle.
Every vehicle occupant must properly fas-
●
ten and wear the seat belt belonging to his or
her seat. Children must be protected with an
appropriate child restraint system.
Seat belt warning lamp*
The control lamp illuminates to remind the
driver to fasten his seat belt.
Before starting the vehicle:
1)
Depending on the model version
Seat belts
Fasten your seat belt securely.
–
Instruct your passengers to fasten their
–
seat belts properly before driving off.
Protect children by using a child seat ac-
–
cording to the child's height and weight.
The control lamp
1)
on the instrument panel
lights up
if the driver or passenger has not
fastened their belt when the ignition is
switched on.
If, when starting to drive, speed surpasses
25 km/h (15 mph) approx. and no seat belts
are worn or they are unfastened during the
drive, a warning sound will be heard for a few
seconds. The warning light will also flash .
The
lamp goes out when the driver and
passenger seat belts are fastened with the ig-
nition switched on.

den braking
Properly worn seat belts hold the occupants
in the proper position. They also help prevent
uncontrolled movements that may result in
serious injury and reduce the risk of being
thrown out of the vehicle in case of an acci-
dent.
Vehicle occupants wearing their seat belts
correctly benefit greatly from the ability of the
belts to absorb kinetic energy. In addition,
the front part of your vehicle and other pas-
sive safety features (such as the airbag sys-
tem) are designed to absorb the kinetic ener-
gy released in a collision. Taken together, all
these features reduce the releasing kinetic
energy and consequently, the risk of injury.
