SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
The driver is responsible for respecting,
and ensuring that all the other
occupants of the vehicle also respect,
the local laws in force in relation to
the use of the seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.
The seat belt should be worn keeping
the torso straight and rested against
the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the
tongue A fig. 63 and insert it into the
buckle B, until it clicks into place.

On removal, if the belt jams, let it rewind
for a short stretch, then pull it out
again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button
C and guide the seat belt with your
hand while it is rewinding, to prevent it
from twisting.

The retractor may lock when the vehicle
is parked on a steep slope: this is
perfectly normal. Furthermore, the
retractor mechanism locks the belt if it
is pulled sharply or in the event of
sudden braking, collisions or
high-speed bends.
Wear the rear seat belts as shown in
fig. 64.
