Make sure the anchor-
age holes are always
clean; if debris has got in-
to them it interferes with the
seats being locked securely into
place.
Before starting off again,
make sure that the seats
are facing the front of the
vehicle and are properly fastened
to their anchorage points. The
seat belts can only be used effec-
tively in this position.
The seats can be arranged in other
ways by removing the middle row and
thus increasing the space available be-
tween the first and third row.

HEAD RESTRAINTS
Remember the head re-
straints must be posi-
tioned so that they sup-
port the back of the head and not
the neck. Only in this position will
they protect you properly in the
event of an end-shunt collision.Front seats fig. 47
The head restraints can be adjusted
for height and tilt.
To adjust height, lift or lower the
head restraint to get the required po-
sition.
To make the adjustment operate the
head restraint as shown in the figure.
In order to use the head
restraint in the correct
way, adjust the seat back
so that the chest is in upright po-
sition and the head is as closest to
the head restraint as possible.

HOW TO USE THE SEAT
BELTS (FRONT AND REAR)
The belt should be worn keeping the
chest straight and rested against the
seat back.
To fasten the seat belt, take hold the
tongue A-fig. 56and insert it into the
buckle B, until you hear it click.
Pull the seat belt gently. If it jams, let
it rewind a little and pull it out again
without jerking.
To unfasten the belts, press button
C. Guide the belt with your hand as
it rewinds to prevent twisting.
Never press button C
when travelling.The seat belt reel mechanism will
adapt the belt to the body of the per-
son wearing it offering freedom of
movement.
When the car is parked on a steep
slope the reel mechanism may block;
this is normal.
The reel mechanism prevents the
webbing coming out when it is jerked
or if the car brakes sharply, as in col-
lision or when cornering at high speed.

HOW TO USE THE THIRD
ROW SIDE SEAT BELTS
The belts should be worn keeping
the chest straight and rested against
the seat back.
The belts are fitted with a double fas-
tening tongue.
To fasten the seat belts: pull the seat
belt out gently from the reel and let
it unwind carefully to prevent it from
twisting, then push tongue A-fig. 58
into fastener B(through the related
spring catch) until you hear it click. Let
the belt further unwind and push
tongue Cinto buckle D.To unfasten the belts: press button
E, guide the seat belt to retainer Band
release the spring catch by freeing
tongue A. Hang the unfastened seat
belt to the retainer illustrated in
fig. 59.When the car is parked on a steep
slope the reel mechanism may block;
this is normal. The reel mechanism
prevents the webbing coming out
when it is jerked or if the car brakes
sharply, as in collision or when cor-
nering at high speed.
Never press button E
when travelling.
The seat belt reel mechanism will
adapt the belt to the body of the per-
son wearing it offering freedom of
movement.Remember that in the
case of a violent collision,
back seat passengers not
wearing seat belts, in addition to
being personally exposed to se-
rious risk, also represent a seri-
ous danger to the passengers in
the front.

USE OF THE SEAT BELT
IN THE CENTRE POSITION
The three point centre seat belt is fit-
ted with reel A-fig. 60.
This seat belt is fastened as for the
front seat belts.Remember that in the
case of a violent collision,
back seat passengers not
wearing seat belts, in addition to
being personally exposed to se-
rious risk, also represent a seri-
ous danger to the passengers in
the front.
PRETENSIONERS
The Ulysse is fitted with pretension-
ers to enable the seat belts to offer
even more effective protection.
These devices “feel” that a violent
collision is in progress via a sensor and
pull back a few inches of webbing. In
this way the pretensioner ensures that
the belt is adhering perfectly to the
body before the belt begins to hold
back the wearer.When the pretensioner has been
triggered the reel mechanism will lock.
The seat belt cannot be drawn back up
even when guiding it manually.
IMPORTANTTo obtain the high-
est degree of protection from the ac-
tion of the pretensioning device, wear
the seat belt keeping it firmly close to
the chest and pelvis.
Pretensioners are triggered only if
the relative seat belts are correctly
pushed into the buckles.
Some smoke might come out. This is
not harmful and does not signal the be-
ginning of a fire.
The pretensioners need no mainte-
nance or lubrication. Any modification
to its original features will nullify the
pretensioner’s effectiveness. If water
or mud accidentally get into the pre-
tensioner as a result of floods or
storms, the device must be replaced.

Mount the child re-
straint system only with
the car stationary. The
Isofix child restraint system is
properly anchored to the mount-
ing brackets when clicks are
heard. In any case, keep to the in-
stallation instructions that must
be provided by the child restraint
system’s Manufacturer.The Kiddy Type Isofix seat can how-
ever be fitted to the front passenger
seat even if not provided with Isofix
mounts: in this case, the child’s seat
must be fastened by means of the
three-anchoring point seat belt both
in the ahead and backward positions
The Type Isofix child’s seat covers
three weight groups: 0, 0+and 1.
Fitting the seat for the 0
and 0+ group fig. 71
For children included in groups 0and
0+, the restraint system faces back
(for children with weight up to 13 kg)
and the child is held by the restraint
system belts D.
Proceed as follows to fit the child re-
straint system in the correct way:
– the release lever Bmust be at rest
position (inward);
– find the presetting brackets A, then
position the child restraint system with
the fastening devices Caligned with
the brackets;– push the child restraint system un-
til hearing the locking clicks;
– check proper locking by moving
the child’s seat with force: the built-
in safety mechanism actually inhibit im-
proper coupling with only one cou-
pling locked.

safety chair must be fitted in the ahead
direction; perform this operation by
following the instructions provided by
the child seat’s Manufacturer.
With the child’s seat in this position,
adjust the corresponding front seat in
such a way that the Kiddy Isofix seat
structure leans against the front seat
backrest.

– for seats positioned facing the run-
ning direction, fasten the upper belt (in
the upper seat pocket) to the ring A-
fig. 72located on the floor immedi-
ately behind the seat:
– check proper locking by moving
the child’s seat with force: the built-
in safety mechanism actually inhibit im-
proper coupling with only one cou-
pling locked.
With this configuration, the child is
