Using The Seat Belts - Alfa Romeo GIULIETTA Owner's Handbook Manual

SEAT BELTS

USING THE SEAT BELTS

The belt should be worn keeping the
torso straight and rested against the
backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the
tongue A fig. 106 and insert it into the
buckle B, until it clicks into place.

On removal of the belt, if it 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 car 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.
The rear seat is fitted with inertia seat
belts with three anchor points and a
retractor.
Wear the rear seat belts as illustrated in
fig. 107.

IMPORTANT The backrest is correctly
secured when the red band B fig.

disappears. This red band indicates

that the backrest is not secured.

IMPORTANT When putting the rear
seats back to their normal position,
make sure the seat belts are positioned
so they are ready to use.
