SEAT BELTS
USING THE FRONT
AND REAR SIDE SEAT BELTS
The belt should be worn keeping the chest
straight and rested against the seat back.
To fasten the belt, take hold the tongue
A-fig. 1and insert it into the buckle B,
until hearing the locking click.
At removal, if it jams, let it rewind for a
short stretch, then pull it out again with-
out jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button
C-fig. 1. Guide the seat belt with your
hand while it is rewinding, to prevent it
from twisting.
Through the reel, the belt automatically
adapts to the body of the passenger wear-
ing it, allowing freedom of movement.
When the car is parked on a steep slope
the reel mechanism may block; this is nor-
mal. The reel mechanism prevents the
webbing coming out when it is jerked or
if the car brakes sharply, in a collision or
when cornering at high speed.The rear seat is fitted with inertial seat
belts with three anchor points and reel.
Rear seat belts shall be worn as shown in
diagram D-fig. 2(5-seat versions) or as
shown in diagram E-fig. 3(4-seat ver-
sions).

To change gears properly
you must push the clutch
pedal fully down. It is therefore es-
sential that there is nothing under the
pedals: make sure mats are lying flat
and do not get in the way of the ped-
als.
WARNINGDo not drive with your hand
resting on the gear lever as
the force exerted, even if
slight, could lead over time to
premature wear on the gearbox inter-
nal components.
