SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
All the seats in the vehicle are equipped
with seat belts with three anchoring
points and a retractor. The reel
mechanism operates locking the belt in
the event of sharp braking or strong
deceleration due to an impact.
This allows the belt strap to slide
freely and to adapt to the body of the
occupant.
In the event of an accident, the belt
will lock to reduce the risk of impact
inside the passenger compartment
or of being projected outside the
vehicle. The driver is responsible for
respecting, and ensuring that all the
other occupants of the vehicle also
respect, the local laws in force in
relation to the use of the seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.
The seat belt should be worn keeping
the chest straight and rested against
the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold fastening
tongue (A) fig. 137 and insert it into
buckle (B), until it clicks into place.

If the seat belt jams during removal, let
it rewind for a short stretch, then pull it
out again without jerking.
Press button (C) to release the seat
belt. Guide the safety belt while it is
rewinding to prevent it from twisting.
74)
The retractor may lock up when the
vehicle is parked on a steep slope:
this is perfectly normal. Furthermore,
the reel mechanism locks the belt if
it is pulled sharply or in the event of
sudden braking, collisions and high-
speed bends.
75)
The rear seat belts (for
versions/markets where provided)
must be worn as shown in fig. 138 or
fig. 140.
