the available hooks and that they cannot
interfere with the driver.

SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
Wear the belt keeping the torso upright and rested
against the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue A fig. 96and
insert it into the buckle B, until the locking click is
heard.
If the seat belt jams, let it rewind for a short stretch,
then pull it out again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button C. Guide the
seat belt with your hand while it is rewinding, to
prevent it from twisting.
WARNING
Never press button C fig. 96 when
t
ravelling.
Through the reel, the belt automatically adapts to
the body of the passenger wearing it, allowing
freedom of movement.
The reel may lock up when the vehicle is parked on a
steep slope: this is perfectly normal. Furthermore,
the reel mechanism locks the belt if it is pulled
sharply or in the event of sudden braking, collisions
and high-speed bends.
All rear seats are fitted with inertia seat belts with
three anchor points and a reel.
WARNING
Remember that , in the event of a violent
c
ollision, back seat passengers not
wearing seat belts represent a serious danger
for the front seat passengers as well as for
themselves.
