SEAT BELTS
HOW TO USE THE SEAT
BELTS fig. 17
When the driver’s seat belt is not fas-
tened, instrument panel indicator light
<
comes on when the ignition key is
turned to MAR.
Press button C to unfasten the belts.
Keep holding the belt as it rewinds to
prevent it from getting twisted.
The seat belt retractor will adapt the
belt to the body of the person wear-
ing it to give him/her freedom of
movement. The retractor could lock
when the vehicle is parked on a steep
slope, but this should be considered
normal.
In addition, the reel mechanism
blocks the belt when it is jerked or if
the car brakes sharply, is in a collision
or when taking bends at high speed.
To fasten the seat belts, take the
tongue of fastener A and push it into
buckle B until you hear it click.
If the belt jams, let it rewind for a
short stretch, then pull it out again
without jerking.
Before fastening the seat
belts, check they pass
through the slots at the top of the
seat back behind the shoulder.
WARNING
For maximum safety, keep
the back of your seat up-
right, lean back into it and make
sure the seat belt fits closely across
your chest and hips.
