Seat belts
sEAT BELTs (1/2)
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.
Before starting, first adjust your driv-
ing position, then ask all occupants
to adjust their seat belt to ensure op-
timum protection.Adjusting your driving
position
– s it well back in your seat (having
first removed your coat or jacket).
This is essential to ensure your back
is positioned correctly.
– Adjust 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.
– Adjust the position of your head-
rest.
For safety reasons, the top of the
headrest must be level with the top
of the head.
– Adjust the position of the steering
wheel.
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.
Shoulder strap 1 must be as close as
possible to the base of the neck.
Lap belt 2 should be worn flat over the
thighs and against the pelvis.
The seat belt should be worn so that
it is as close as possible to your body,
i.e.: avoid wearing heavy clothing or
keeping bulky objects under the belts,
etc.
Make sure that the rear bench seat
is locked in position correctly so that
the rear seat belts will operate effi -
ciently. Refer to the information on
the “Rear bench seat: functions” in
Section 3.
Seat belts which are incor -
rectly adjusted or twisted
may cause injuries in the
event of an accident.
Use one seat belt per person,
whether child or adult.
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.

Locking
Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly
and ensure that buckle 3 locks into
catch 5 (check that it is locked by pull -
ing on buckle 3).
If the belt jams, allow it to return slightly
before attempting to unwind it again. If your seat belt becomes completely
jammed:
–
pull the belt slowly but firmly so that
just over 3 cm unwinds;
– then allow the seat belt to rewind au-
tomatically;
– unwind it again;
– if there is still a problem, contact an
approved Dealer.

sEAT BELTs
The following information applies to the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts.– No modification may be made to the component parts of the originally fitted restraint system: belts, seats and their
mountings. For special operations (e.g. fitting child seats), please c\
ontact an authorised dealer.
– Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too
loosely may cause injury in the event of an accident.
– Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.
– Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your lap with your seat belt around
them.
– The belt should never be twisted.
– Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if necessary. Always replace your seat belts as soon as
they show any signs of wear.
– When putting back the rear bench seat, take care that the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used prop-
erly.
– Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.
– Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch as they could prevent it from being properly se-
cured.
– Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be hidden away, crushed or flattened by people or ob-
jects).
