ing the tongue in the buckle. Check that it is
securely fastened.
Grasp the shoulder belt close to the buckle
and pull the belt towards the shoulder to
tighten the lap belt part.
Then grip the belt at the shoulder, pull it out
and, without letting go, allow the slack to be
taken up by the reel. Make sure that the belt
is well in on the shoulder.

ment.To release the belt, press the red button on
the belt buckle, as illustrated.
See page 207 for the checking of belt func-
tion, cleaning, etc.
Belt height adjustmentThe front safety belts and the outside belts

On certain models the driver´s seat is
equipped with a memory function.
To facilitate getting into the car, both seats

mum passenger comfort.
Ventilated front seats (option)Ventilated front seats, that enhance seating
comfort in hot weather, are available as an
option on cars equipped with leather-uphol-
stered and electrically adjustable seats.
Ventilated seats are equipped with two fans
that extract the moist air from between the
seat and the body.
The fans have three speeds and are OFF
when the switch is set to 0.
WARNING
Adjust the head restraint so that the head
is well supported and the center of the
head restraint is at ear height, thus reduc-
ing the likelihood of neck injury in an acci-
dent.
WARNING
The head restraint should not be folded
down when the seat is occupied.
