Safety
This section describes the operation of the direction indicators, hazard
warning lamps and the horn to warn other road users, the emergency
o

The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly and that they are all
restrained

Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do

hey will not fulfil their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
permitting
automatic adjustment of the length
o

The
lower part of the strap must be
p

The
upper part must be positioned in the
h
ollow of the shoulder.
The
inertia reels are fitted with an automatic
l
ocking device which comes into operation in
t
he event of a collision, emergency braking
o
r if the vehicle rolls over. You can release
t
he device by pulling the strap firmly and then
r
eleasing it so that it reels in slightly.In
order to be effective, a seat belt must:
- b e tightened as close to the body as
p
ossible,
-
