SEAT BELTS
HOW TO USE THE SEAT BELTS
(for the front and back side seats)
(fig. 16)
Pull the seat belt out gently; if the
belt jams, let it rewind for a short
stretch, then pull it out again without
jerking.
To fasten the seat belts, take the
tongue of fastener A and push it into
buckle B until you hear it click.
The lower part of the front seat belts
slides on a bar to make it easier for
you to get hold of the belt when
putting it on.
Press button C to unfasten the belts.
Guide the belt with your hand as it
rewinds to prevent it twisting.
The belt unwinds from the reel and
automatically adjusts to fit the pas-
senger’s body, allowing him or her to
move in complete freedom. When the
car is parked on a slope the reel may
lock. This is quite normal.
The reel mechanism also prevents
the webbing coming out when it is
jerked or if the car brakes sharply, is
in a collision or when taking bends at
high speed.
ADJUSTING THE FRONT SEAT
BELT HEIGHT (fig. 17)
For maximum safety,
keep the back of your seat
upright, lean back into it
and make sure the seat belt fits
closely across your chest and hips.

Make the height adjust-
ment when the car is sta-
tionary.
Always adjust the height of the seat
belt to fit the person wearing it. This
could greatly reduce the risk of injury
in the case of collision.
