SEAT BELTS (1/4)
Always wear your seat belt when trav-
elling in your vehicle. You must also
comply with the legislation of the par-
ticular country you are in.
I n c o r r e c t l y a d j u s t e d o r
twisted seat belts may
cause injuries in the event
of an accident.
The seatbelt is for the use of one
person only, whether adult or child.
Even pregnant women should wear
a seat belt. In this case, ensure that
the lap belt is not exerting too much
pressure on the abdomen, but do
not allow any slack.
Before starting, adjust your driving
position and then have each occu-
pant adjust their seat belt to ensure
optimum protection.
Adjusting your driving position
(depending on the vehicle)
–

S
it well back in your seat (having
removed your coat or jacket etc.).
This is essential to ensure your back
is positioned correctly;
–

a
djust the distance between the
seat and the pedals. Your seat
should be as far back as possible
while still allowing you to depress
the clutch pedal fully. The seatback
should be adjusted so that your arms
are slightly bent when you hold the
steering wheel;
–

a
djust the position of your head-
rest. For the maximum safety, your
head must be as close as possible to
the headrest;
–

adjust
the height of the seat. This
adjustment allows you to select the
seat position which offers you the
best possible view;
–

adjust
the position of the steering
wheel.
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.
Shoulder strap

possible to the base of the neck but not

thighs and against the pelvis. The seat
belt must be worn as close to the body
as possible. i.e.: avoid wearing heavy
clothing or keeping bulky objects under
the belts, etc.

Power Assisted Steering
With the engine running, do not leave
the steering wheel at full lock while sta-
tionary as this may damage the power-
assisted steering pump.
With the engine switched off, or if there
is a system fault, it is still possible to
turn the steering wheel. The force re-
quired will be greater.
Adjusting the steering wheel
Depending on the vehicle, the steering
wheel position is adjustable.
Lift lever
1 and place the steering wheel
in the required position; raise the lever
to lock the steering wheel in place.
Make sure that the steering wheel is
correctly locked.
For safety reasons, only
adjust the steering wheel
when the vehicle is station-
ary.
Never switch off the igni-
tion when travelling down-
hill, and avoid doing so in
normal driving (assistance
is not provided).
