The belt should be worn keeping the che-
st straight and rested against the seat back.
To fasten the seat belts, take hold the ton-
gue A-fig. 1and insert it into the buckle

short stretch, then pull it out again without
jerking.
Press button C-fig. 1to release the belt.
Accompany the belt while it is being
rewound to prevent twisting.
Through the reel, the belt automatically
adapts to the body of the passenger wea-
ring it, allowing freedom of movement.
The reel may lock when the car is parked
on a steep slope: this is perfectly normal.
Furthermore, the reel mechanism locks
the belt if it is pulled and in the event of
sudden braking, collisions and on high
speed bends.The rear seat is fitted with inertial seat
belts with three anchor points and reel.
Rear seat belts must be worn as shown
in diagram D-fig. 2(five seat versions) or

resting on the gear lever, be-
cause this pressure, even if li-
ght, over time can wear out
the gearbox inner components.
