SEAT BELTS
Always wear your seat belt when
travelling in your car. You must also
comply with the local legislation in
the particular country you are in.
Before driving off:
- First ensure that your driving
position is correct.
- Then adjust your seat belt to
provide maximum protection.
Adjusting your driving position
•Sit with your back firmly against
the seatback.
This is essential to ensure that
your lumbar vertebrae are in the
correct position.
•Adjust the distance between the
seat and the pedals.
Your seat should be as far back as
possible while still allowing you
to depress the clutch pedal fully.
The seatback should be adjusted
so that your arms are slightly bent
when you hold the steering wheel.
•Adjust the position of your head
restraint.
For maximum safety your head
should be as close as possible to
the head restraint.

select the seat position which
offers you the best possible vision.
•Adjust the position of the steering
wheel.
It is advisable not to tilt the
seatback too far back to
ensure correct operation of
the seat belts.
Make sure the seatback is
correctly locked in position.

ensure that the lap belt is not
