SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
The driver is responsible for respecting,
and ensuring that all the other
occupants of the vehicle also respect,
the local laws in force in relation to
the use of the seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.
The belt should be worn keeping the
torso straight and rested against the
backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold tongue A
fig. 55 and insert it into buckle B, until
it clicks into place. On removal, if the
seat belt jams, let it rewind for a short
stretch, then pull it out again without
jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button
C. Guide the seat belt with your hand
while it is rewinding, to prevent it from
twisting. Through the retractor, the
belt automatically adapts to the body of
the passenger wearing it, allowing
freedom of movement.
