tongue A fig. 106 and insert it into the
buckle B, until it clicks into place.

rewind for a short stretch, then pull
it out again without jerking.

hand while it is rewinding, to prevent it
from twisting.

perfectly normal. Furthermore, the
retractor mechanism locks the belt if it
is pulled sharply or in the event of
sudden braking, collisions or
high-speed bends.
The rear seat is fitted with inertia seat
belts with three anchor points and a
retractor.
Wear the rear seat belts as illustrated in
fig. 107.

secured when the red band B fig.

seats back to their normal position,
make sure the seat belts are positioned
so they are ready to use.
WARNING

an accident, the rear seat
passengers not wearing seat belts
are exposed to a very serious
risk and also represent a serious
danger for the front seat
occupants.
