Seating and safety restraints
SEAT BELTS
• Use seat belts at all
times.
• Never use a seat belt for more
than one person.
• Avoid wearing thick clothing.
• The seat belts should fit tightly
around the body.
Fastening the seat belts
Pull the belt out steadily. It may
lock if pulled sharply or if the
vehicle is on a slope.
Insert the tongue into the
buckle until a distinct click
is heard, otherwise the seat belt
will not be locked correctly.
To release the belt, press the red
button on the buckle and let the
belt rewind completely and
smoothly.

Make sure that each seat belt uses
the correct buckle.
In order to ensure that the
centre belt works properly,
the rear seatback must be
correctly engaged.
Do not recline the front seats
excessively as the belts provide
maximum protection when the
seats are in the near upright
position.
