Your vehicle is equipped with seat

sioning retractors for front seats. The
tensioning retractors are located in
each belt’s inertia reel and become
operationally ready with the steering
lock key in 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 driv­
ing. 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.

rewind the belt and latch plate (1).
