torso straight and rested against the seat
back.
To fasten the seat belt, hold the tongueAand insert it into the buckle B

C.
Guide the seat belt while it is rewinding,
to prevent it from twisting.
Through the retractor, the seat belt au-
tomatically adapts to the body of the oc-
cupant wearing it, allowing freedom of
movement.
The retractor may lock when the car is
parked on a steep slope: this is normal.
Furthermore, the retractor mechanism
locks the belt if it is pulled sharply or in
the event of sudden braking, impacts or
high-speed bends.
The rear seat is fitted with inertial seat
belts with three fixing points and a re-
tractor.

WARNING
USING THE FRONT
SEAT BELTS
With front airbags: driver and passenger
(for versions/markets, where provided).
The front seats are equipped with py-
rotechnic pretensioners and load limiters.
See paragraphs - pretensioners and load
limiters;
If the vehicle is equipped with a 2-seat
front bench, and the passenger front
airbag is not available, the seat belt of the
central passenger is not equipped with the
pyrotechnic pretensioner; the height of
the seat belt associated with the centre
seat cannot be adjusted.
The front seat belts are height-adjustable,
in order to adapt to the body of the oc-
cupants. This precaution may considerably
reduce the risk of injury in the event of an
impact. Correct adjustment is obtained
when the belt passes approximately half
way between the shoulder and the neck.
To carry out the adjustment, press gripAand raise or lower the cursor.
