LOAD LIMITERS
To increase passenger safety, the front
seat belt reels contain a device which
allows the force acting on the chest
and shoulders to be modulated during
the belt restraining action in the event
of a frontal collision.
GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USING THE SEAT BELTS
84) 85) 86)
Seat belts are also to be worn by
pregnant women: the risk of injury in
the case of a crash is greatly reduced
for them and the unborn child if they
are wearing a seat belt.
Pregnant women must position the
lower part of the belt very low down
so that it passes over the pelvis and
under the abdomen (see fig. 72). While
pregnancy progresses, the driver must
adjust both seat and steering wheel to
have full control over the vehicle (pedals
and steering wheel must be easy to
access). The maximum clearance
should be kept between the abdomen
and the steering wheel.

The belt strap must not be twisted. The
upper part must pass over the shoulder
and cross the chest diagonally. The
lower part must adhere to the pelvis
fig. 73, not to the abdomen of the
occupant. Never use devices (clips,
clamps, etc.) that hold the seat belt
away from your body.

WARNING Each seat belt must be
used by only one person. Never travel
with a child sitting on the passenger's
lap and a single belt to protect them
both fig. 74. In general, do not place
any objects between the person and
the belt.

SEAT BELTS
MAINTENANCE
For keeping the seat belts in efficient
conditions, carefully observe the
following warnings:
always use the seat belt well
stretched and never twisted; make
sure that it is free to run without
obstructions;
check seat belt operation as follows:
attach the seat belt and pull it hard;
replace the belt after an accident of
a certain severity even if it does not
appear to be damaged. Always replace
the belt if the pretensioners were
deployed;
prevent the retractors from getting
wet: their correct operation is only
guaranteed if water does not get inside;
