The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly and that they are all
fastened
  before   setting   off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do
  not   interchange   the   seat   belt   buckles   as  
t

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

ength   of   the   strap   to   your   size.   The   seat   belt  
i

s   stowed   automatically   when   not   in   use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat

hollow
  of   the   shoulder.
The inertia reels are fitted with an automatic
locking
  device   which   comes   into   operation   in  
t

he   event   of   a   collision,   emergency   braking

t

he   device   by   pulling   the   strap   firmly   and  
t

hen   releasing   it   so   that   it   reels   in   slightly.Recommendations for children
