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 without allowing
any slack.
SEAT BELTS
Always wear your seat belt when
travelling in your vehicle. You must
also comply with the legislation of
the particular country you are in.
Before driving off:
- firstly ensure that your driving
position is correctly adjusted,
- then adjust your seat belt to
provide maximum protection.Adjusting your driving position
 Sit well back in your seat (having
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 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 restraint. For safety reasons, the
top of your head should be in line
with the top of the head restraint.
 Adjust the height of the seat. This
adjustment allows you to select
the seat position which offers you
the best possible view.
 Adjust the position of the steering wheel.
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.
The thorax belt 1should be as close
to the base of your neck as possible
but not on it.
The lap belt 2should 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 or
keeping bulky objects under the belts.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (continued)
Load limiter
Above a certain severity of impact,
this mechanism is used to limit the
force of the belt against the body so
that it is at an acceptable level.
Driver and passenger airbags
Fitted to the driver and passenger
side.
The word “Airbag” on the steering
wheel and the dashboard (airbag
zone A) and an airbag marking in the
lower section of the windscreen
indicate the presence of this
equipment.
Each airbag system consists of:
- an airbag and gas generator fitted on the steering wheel for the driver
and in the dashboard for the front
passenger;
- an intelligent computer for both systems, which includes an impact
sensor and a monitor controlling
the electrical trigger system for the
gas generator;
- a single
åwarning light on the
instrument panel;
- an advanced frontal sensor completes this system. The airbag system uses the
principles of pyrotechnics. This
explains why, when the airbag
inflates, it will generate heat,
produce smoke (this does not mean
that a fire is about to start) and
make a noise upon detonation. In a
situation where an airbag is
required, it will inflate immediately
and this may cause some minor,
superficial grazing to the skin or
other problems.
