Through the reel, the belt automatically adapts to the body
of the passenger wearing it, allowing freedom of move-
ment.
The reel may lock up when the vehicle is parked on a steep
slope: this is perfectly normal. Furthermore, the reel mech-
anism locks the belt if it is pulled sharply or in the event
of sudden braking, collisions and high-speed bends.SEAT BELTS

PARKING THE VEHICLE
Proceed as follows:
❒stop the engine and engage the handbrake;
❒engage a gear (first gear if parked uphill or reverse if
facing downhill) and leave the wheels turned.
If the vehicle is parked on a steep slope, it is advisable to
block the wheels with a wedge or stone.
To prevent draining the battery, do not leave the ignition
key turned to MAR. Always remove the key when you
leave the vehicle.

remove the ignition key when leaving the vehicle, and take
it with you.
USING THE GEARBOX
To engage the gears, depress the clutch pedal fully and
shift the gear lever A-fig. 127 into the required position
(the diagram is shown on the gear knob fig. 127).

hicle is at a standstill. With the engine running, wait for
at least 2 seconds with the clutch pedal fully depressed
before engaging reverse to prevent damage to the gears
and grating.
To engage reverse R from neutral, lift ring B under the
knob and at the same time move the gearstick to the right
