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.
Do not use accessories (clothes pegs,
clips, safety pins, etc.) which allow the
seat belt straps to fit loosely.
e
nsure 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.
Depending 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.

Care must be taken when installing
a child seat with a support leg in
the vehicle. In particular you should
look for the presence of a storage
compartment below the rear seat
footwells.
The centre rear seat does not have
a storage compartment below the
footwell. You can therefore easily fit a
child seat with a support leg, whether
installed with the IS
o FIX mountings or
using the 3 point seat belt.
Do not place the support leg on
the storage compartment cover;
it might break in a serious impact.
Where the adjustments of the support
leg allow it, we suggest two other
possibilities for installation.
At the bottom of the storage
compartment
If the support leg is long enough, you
can adjust it so that it contact the
bottom of the storage compartment.
Remove all objects from the storage
compartment before installing the
support leg.
Away from the storage
compartment area
If the support leg is long enough and
can be inclined sufficiently (always
by following the recommendations
given in the installation instructions for
the child seat), you can position the
support leg so that it contacts the floor
away from the storage compartment.
Adjust the longitudinal position of
the front or rear seat to obtain a
satisfactory position for the support leg
away from the storage compartment.
If you cannot position the support
leg in the way described, you
should not fit a child seat with
support leg to the seat.
