Seat belts
Front seat belts
the front seat belts are fitted with a
pretensioning and force limiting system.
th
is system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat
belts against the body of the occupants.
the

pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
th

e force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt on the chest of the occupant,
so improving their protection.

Advice
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
they will not fulfill their role fully.
th
e seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
permitting automatic adjustment of the
length of the strap to your size.
t
h
e seat belt
is stowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is reeled in correctly.
th

e lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
th

e upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
th

locking device which comes into operation in
the event of a collision, emergency braking
or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release
the device by pulling the strap firmly and
then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
