GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
THE SEAT BELTS
The driver is responsible for respecting (and ensuring that
all the other vehicle passengers also respect) the local laws
in force regarding the use of seat belts. Always fasten the
seat belts before starting off.
Seat belts are also to be worn by expectant mothers: the
risk of injury in the case of accident is greatly reduced for
them and the unborn child if they are wearing a seat belt.
Of course they must position the lower part of the belt very
low down so that it passes under the abdomen, see 134.
The belt must not be twisted. The upper
part must cross the shoulder and the chest
diagonally. The lower part must adhere to the
hips fig. 135 not to the abdomen. Do not use devices
(clips, clamps, etc.) that prevent the belts from be-
ing snug to the passengers’ body.
WARNING
Maximum protection is obtained if the
backrest is kept straight: the passenger’s
back must lean against the backrest and the seat
belt must be tight on the chest and hips. Always fas-
ten the seat belts on both the front and the rear
seats. Travelling without seat belts fastened in-
creases the risk of serious injuries or even death in
the event of a crash.
