Your vehicle is equipped with seat
belts for all seats and emergency ten­
sioning retractors for front seats. The
tensioning retractors are located in
each belt's inertia reel and become
operationally ready with the key in
steering lock position 1 or 2.
Warning system:
The indicator is illuminated for 4 - 8
seconds after turning the steering lock
key to position 2. If the seat belt of the
driver's seat is not fastened a warning
buzzer sounds simultaneously.
Fastening:
• Pull belt with latch plate (1) over
shoulder and lap. Do not twist the
belt doing this.
• Push latch plate (1) into buckle (2)
until it clicks.
• The belt must be pulled snug and
checked for snugness immediately
after engaging it and during driving.
If necessary, tighten the lap portion
to a snug fit by pulling shoulder
portion up.
Unfastening:
• Push in the red button (3) in the belt
buckle.
• The retractor should completely
rewind the belt and latch plate (1).
Operation:
The inertia reel stops the belt from
unwinding during sudden vehicle stops
or when quickly pulling on the belt.
The locking function of the reel may be
checked by quickly pulling out the belt.
