SEAT BELTS
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 ensure that your driving posi
- tion is correctly adjusted,
– then adjust your seat belt to pro
- vide maximum protection.
Incorrectly adjusted seat- belts may cause injuries inthe 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.If this is the case, ensure that the lap belt is not exerting too much pressure on the abdomen but do not allow any slack.
Adjusting your driving
position
– Sit 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 your head should be in line with the top of the headrest.
– Adjust the height of the seat.
This adjustment allows you to select the seat position which offers you the best possible view.
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the seatback.
Shoulder strap
1 should be as close as possible to the base of the neck but not on it.
The lap strap
2 should be worn flat over the thighs and against the pelvis.
The belt should be worn so that it is as close as possible to your body, i.e. avoid wearing heavy clothing or keep- ing bulky objects under the belts.

– Study the road ahead so that you are able to brake as little as possible, it can be sufficient just to lift off the ac- celerator.
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in
- termediate gears. Always use the highest gear possible without labour- ing the engine.
– Do not try to maintain the same
speed up a hill, accelerate no more than you would on the level. Keep your foot in the same position on the accelerator pedal.
– Double declutching and accelerating
before switching off are unnecessary in modern vehicles.
– Bad weather, flooded roads.
Do not drive through floods if the water is above the lower edge of the wheel
rims.
Exhaust gas monitoring
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system will detect any operating faults in the vehicle’s antipollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic sub- stances may be released into the at- mosphere or damage may occur.
ÄThis warning light on the in- strument panel will indicate if there are any faults in the system:
T h i s c o m e s o n w h e n t h e i g n i- tion is switched on and goes out after three seconds.
– if it lights up continuously, consult
your approved dealer as soon as possible;
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed
until the light stops flashing. Contact your approved dealer as soon as possible.
Driving
– Drive carefully for the first few miles until the engine reaches its normal operating temperature, rather than let it warm up while the vehicle is sta- tionary.
– Speed is expensive.
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive
with a light right foot.
