SEAT BELTS
Height adjustment
Squeeze the control with the return and
slide the assembly on the driver's seat
side and on the individual passenger
seat
side.
Fastening
Pull the strap, then insert the tongue

Check
that the seat belt is fastened
correctly
by pulling the strap.
Seat belt(s) not fastened
warning lamp Unfastening
Press the red button.
When the vehicle is started,
this
warning lamp comes on
if a user at the front has not
fastened
their seat belt.
Good practice
The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly
and that they are all strapped in
securely before moving off.
Wherever you are seated in the
vehicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even
for short journeys.
The
seat belts are fitted with an inertia
reel
which automatically adjusts the
length
of the strap to your size.
d
o not use accessories (clothes pegs,
clips,
safety pins, etc.) which allow the
seat
belt straps to fit loosely.
Ensure that the seat belt has reeled in
correctly
after use.
After
folding or moving a seat or a rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt
has reeled in correctly and that the
buckle
is ready to accommodate the
tongue.
d
epending on the nature and
seriousness
of any impact, the
pretensioning
device may be deployed
before
and independently of inflation
of
the airbags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
Deployment
of the pretensioners is
accompanied
by a slight discharge
of
harmless smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge
incorporated in the system.
The
front
passenger's
seat
may
be
fitted
with
a
presence
detector
,
in
which
case you should not place anything
heavy on this seat as this could trigger
the
alert.
