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 starting, first adjust your driving position, then ask all occupants to adjust their seat belts to ensure optimum protection.

Adjusting your driving position

• Sit well back in your seat (having removed your coat or jacket, etc.). This is essential to ensure that your back is positioned correctly;
• adjust 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 pedals. The seatback should be adjusted so that your arms are slightly bent when you hold the steering wheel;
• adjust the position of your headrest. For maximum safety, your head must be as close as possible to the headrest;
• adjust 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

To ensure the correct adjustment and positioning of the seat belts on all seats:

• adjust the seats (seat position and seatback angle, if available);
• sit with your back firmly against the seatback;
• move the shoulder strap 1 as close as possible to the base of the neck without it actually resting against it (if necessary, adjust the height of the seat belt if possible) and make sure that the shoulder strap 1 is in contact with the shoulder;
• position the lap strap 2 so that it lies flat on the thighs and against the pelvis.

The seat belt must be worn as close to the body as possible. e.g. avoid wearing heavy clothing, keeping bulky objects under the belts, etc.

Locking

Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly and ensure that the buckle 3 locks into the catch 5 (check that it is locked by pulling on the buckle 3).

If the belt jams, allow it to return slightly before attempting to unwind it again.

If your seat belt is completely jammed, pull slowly, but firmly, so that just over 3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly before attempting to unwind it again.

If there is still a problem, contact an approved dealer.

Unlocking

Press the button 4 and the seat belt will be rewound by the inertia reel. Guide the belt.
