Always wear your seat belt when travelling in your vehicle. You must also comply with the legislation of the particular country you are in.

Make sure that the rear bench seat is locked in position correctly so that the rear seat belts will operate efficiently. Refer to the information on the “Rear bench seat: functions” in Section 3.

Seat belts which are incorrectly adjusted or twisted may cause injuries in the event of an accident.

Use one seat belt per person, whether child or adult.

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, but do not allow any slack.

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 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 clutch pedal. 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

Sit with your back firmly against the seatback.

Shoulder strap 1 should be as close as possible to the base of the neck but not on it.

Lap belt 2 should be worn flat over 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 or keeping bulky objects under the belts, etc.

Locking

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

™ Front seat belt reminder warning light

It remains on when the engine is started if your seat belt is not fastened. An audible warning sounds at a low volume for 30 seconds, then at a high volume for 90 seconds.

Unfastening

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

Note: an object placed on the passenger seat base may activate the warning light in some cases.

Adjusting the front seat belt height

Press button 6 to adjust the seat belt height so that shoulder strap 1 is worn as shown previously:

- to lower the seat belt, press button 6 and lower the seat belt at the same time;

- to raise the seat belt, press button 6 fully and lift the seat belt to the required position.

Make sure that the seat belt is locked in position correctly after you have adjusted it.

Version with front bench seat for two

In normal use conditions, fasten the centre seat belt when no one is seated there.

Make sure that the rear bench seat is locked in position correctly so that the rear seat belts will operate efficiently. Refer to the information on the “Rear bench seat: functions” in Section 3.

Five-seater version

Rear centre belt

Unwind the belt slowly and ensure that the buckle 8 locks into catch 9.

Rear side seat belts 7

The belts are locked, unlocked and adjusted in the same way as the front belts.

Check that the rear seat belts are positioned and operating correctly each time the rear seats are moved.

- No modification may be made to the component parts of the originally fitted restraint system: seat belts, seats and their mountings. For special operations (e.g. fitting child seats), contact an authorised dealer.

- Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too loosely may cause injury in the event of an accident.

- Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.

- Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your lap with your seat belt around them.

- The belt should never be twisted.

- Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if necessary. Always replace your seat belts as soon as they show any signs of wear.

- Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.

- When the rear seats are being put back, make sure that the seat belts and buckles are correctly positioned so that they can be used properly.

- Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch as they could prevent it from being properly secured.

- Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be hidden away, crushed or flattened by people or objects).
