SEAT BELTS
Always wear your seat belt when
travelling in your vehicle. You must
also comply with the legislation of
the particular country you are in.
Before driving off:
- firstly ensure that your driving
position is correctly adjusted,
- then adjust your seat belt to
provide maximum protection.
Incorrectly adjusted seat
belts may cause injuries
in the event of an
accident.
Even pregnant women should
wear a seat belt. In this case,
ensure that the lap belt is not
exerting too much pressure on
the abdomen without allowing
any slack.
Adjusting your driving position
• Sitwellbackinyourseat(having
removed your coat or jacket). This
is essential to ensure that your
back is positioned correctly.
• Adjusting the distance between
the seat and the pedals. Your seat
should be as far back as possible
while still allowing you to fully
depress the clutch pedal. The
seatback should be adjusted so
that your arms are slightly bent
when you hold the steering
wheel.
• Adjusting the position of your
headrest. For maximum safety,
the top of your head should be in
line with the top of the headrest.
• Adjusting the height of the seat.
This adjustment allows you to
select the seat position which
offers you the best possible view.
• Adjust the position of the steering
wheel.
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.
The shoulder strap 1 should be as
close to the base of your neck as
possible but not on it.
The lap strap 2 should be worn flat
over your thighs and against your
pelvis.

as close to your body as possible, i.e.
avoid wearing heavy clothing or
keeping bulky objects under the
belts.
