OCCUPANT
PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety
equipment of the car comprise the
following protection systems:
seat belts;
SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system;
head restraints;
child restraint systems;
front airbags and side bags.
Read the information given the
following pages with the utmost care.
It is of fundamental importance that
the protection systems are used in the
correct way to guarantee the maximum
possible safety level for the driver and
the passengers.
For the description of the head restraint
adjustment, see the "Head restraints"
chapter in the "Knowing your car"
section.
SEAT BELTS
All car seats are equipped with seat
belts with three anchorage points and a
retractor. The reel mechanism operates
locking the belt in the event of sharp
braking or strong deceleration due to a
collision.
This allows the belt strap to slide
freely and to adapt to the body
of the occupant. In the event of
an accident, the belt will lock
reducing the risk of impact inside the
passenger compartment and of being
projected outside the car. The driver
is responsible for respecting, and
ensuring that all the other occupants of
the vehicle also respect, the local laws
in force in relation to the use of the seat
belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.
USING THE SEAT BELTS
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.
The belt should be worn keeping the
torso straight and rested against the
backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold fastening
tongue (A) fig. 110 and insert it into
buckle (B), until it clicks into place.
On removal, if the belt jams, let it
rewind for a short stretch, then pull it
out again without jerking.
Press button (C) fig. 110 to release the
belt.
Guide the belt while it is rewinding to
prevent it from twisting. Through the
retractor, the belt automatically adapts
to the body of the passenger wearing
it, allowing freedom of movement.

The retractor may lock when the car
is parked on a steep slope: this is
perfectly normal. Furthermore, the
reel mechanism locks the belt if it is
pulled sharply or in the event of sudden
braking, collisions and high-speed
bends.
The rear seat is fitted with inertia seat
belts with three anchoring points and a
retractor.
WARNING For the rear door version,
the passenger side seat belt is installed
on the rear side door. Always make
sure the door is closed before fastening
the seat belt.
