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 so that your back is in the right position.
• Adjust the distance between the seat and the pedals. The seat should be as far back as possible while still allowing you to press the pedals down fully. The seatback should be adjusted so that your arms are slightly bent.

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 possible);
• 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 possible, adjust the height of the seat belt where necessary) and make sure the shoulder strap 1 is in contact with the shoulder;
• position the lap belt 2 so that it lies flat over the thighs and against the pelvis.

The belt should be worn so that it is as close as possible to your body, For example, avoid wearing heavy clothing or holding objects between you and the belt.

Fastening

Unwind the seat belt slowly and smoothly and ensure that the buckle 3 locks into the catch 5 (pull the buckle to make sure that it is locked in correctly 3).

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