Adjusting the front seat belts
height (front seats only)
The seat belts height must be
adjusted with the vehicle
stationary.
Always adjust the height of the front
seat belts so that they suit the driver's
and passenger's height. This
precaution can reduce the risk of injury
in a collision substantially.
The correct adjustment is achieved
when the belt passes about mid-way
between the end of the shoulder and
the neck.
The upper attachment point of the
seat belts is equipped with an
oscillating ring capable of moving into
4 different positions, allowing the
belts position to be adjusted.
To move the attachment fitting, press
control D.
After the adjustment, always
check that the cursor to which
the oscillating ring is fixed, is
locked into one of the positions
provided. Therefore, with the
handgrip released, push again
downwards to allow the anchoring
device to click into place, in the event
that it has not been released in one of
the positions provided.
Using the rear seat belts
The belts for the rear seats must be
worn as shown in the figure.
Remember that, in the event
of a violent impact, the
passengers on the rear seats
that are not wearing the seat belts are
not only subject to personal injuries
but they also represent a danger for
passengers sitting in the front seats.
The seat belts must be worn keeping
your chest in the upright position and
lying against the backrest.
When the rear seats are not occupied,
place the seat belt buckles in their
respective seatings.
