SEAT BELTS
Always wear your seat belt when trav-
elling in your vehicle. You must also
comply with the legislation of the par-
ticular country you are in.
Before starting:
– first ensure that your driving posi-
tion is correctly adjusted,
– then adjust your seat belt to pro-
vide maximum protection.
Incorrectly adjusted seat-
belts may cause injuries in
the event of an accident.
The seatbelt is for the use
of one person only, whether adult or
child.
Even pregnant women should wear
a seat belt.
If this is the case, ensure that the
lap belt is not exerting too much
pressure on the abdomen but do not
allow any slack.
Adjusting your driving
position
– Sit well back in your seat (having
first removed your coat or jacket).
This is essential to ensure your back
is positioned correctly.
– Adjust the distance between the
seat and the pedals.
Your seat should be as far back as
possible while still allowing you to
depress the clutch pedal fully. The
seatback should be adjusted so that
your arms are slightly bent when you
hold the steering wheel.
– Adjust the position of your head-
rest.
For safety reasons, the top of your
head should be in line with the top of
the headrest.
– Adjust the height of the seat.
This adjustment allows you to select
the seat position which offers you the
best possible view.
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.
Shoulder strap
1 should be as close as
possible to the base of the neck but not
on it.
The lap strap
2 should be worn flat over
the thighs and against the pelvis.
The belt should be worn so that it is
as close as possible to your body, i.e.
avoid wearing heavy clothing or keep-
ing bulky objects under the belts.
