SEAT BELTS
Always wear your seat belt when
travelling in your vehicle. You must
comply with the local legislation of
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.
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.
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 be able 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 head
rest.
For safety reasons, the top of the
head rest must be at the height of
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 the 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.
