SEAT BELTS
Always wear your seat belt when
travelling in your vehicle. You must
also comply with the legislation of
the particular country you are in.
Before starting:
-
first ensure that your driving
position is correct,
-
then adjust your seat belt to
provide maximum protection.
Adjusting your driving position
-
Sit with your back firmly against
the seatback.
(after having
removed your coat or jacket).
This is essential to ensure that
your back is in the correct position.
-
Adjust the distance between the
seat and the pedals.
Your seat should be as far back as
possible while still allowing you to
fully depress the clutch pedal. The
seatback should be adjusted so that
your arms are slightly bent when
you hold the steering wheel.
-
Adjust the position of your
headrest.
For safety reasons, the top of the
headrest must be level with the top
of the head.
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.
The shoulder strap 1 should be as
close to the base of your neck as
possible but not on it.
The lap strap 2 should be worn flat
over your thighs and against your
pelvis.
The belt should be worn so that it is
as close to your body as possible, i.e.
avoid wearing heavy clothing,
having bulky objects under the belts
or reclining the seatback
excessively, etc.
Incorrectly adjusted seat
belts may cause injuries
in the event of an
accident.
Even pregnant women should
wear a seat belt. In this case,
ensure that the lap belt is not
exerting too much pressure on
the abdomen but do not allow
any slack.
