SEAT BELTS
Always wear your seat belt when
travelling in your car. You must also
comply with the local legislation in
the particular country you are in.
Before driving off:
- First ensure that your driving
position is correct.
- Then adjust your seat belt to
provide maximum protection.
We would advise you not
to recline the seatbacks
excessively
to
ensure
that the effectiveness of
the seat belts is not reduced.
Make sure the seatback is locked
in place correctly.
Nothing should be placed on the
floor (area in front of driver) as
such objects may slide under
the
pedal
during
braking
manoeuvres, thus obstructing its
use.
Adjusting your driving position
• Sit with your back firmly against
the seatback.
This is essential to ensure that
your lumbar vertebrae are 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 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
headrest.
For maximum safety your head
should be as close as possible to
the headrest.
•
Adjust the height of the seat.
This adjustment allows you to
select the seat position which
offers you the best possible
vision.
•
Adjust the position of the steering
wheel.
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.
Shoulder strap
1
should be as close
to the base of your neck as possible
but not on it.
Lap strap
2
should be held firmly
over your thighs and against your
pelvis.
The seat belt should be worn as
close to your body as possible;
avoid wearing clothes that are too
thick, or holding any objects that
could obstruct the seat belt, etc.
