SAFETY
F0Z0053m fig. 98
The reel may lock when the car is parked on a steep slope:
this is perfectly normal. Furthermore, the reel mechanism
locks the belt if it is pulled and in the event of sudden brak-
ing, collisions and on high speed bends.
The rear side seats have inertia reel seat belts with three
anchor points. Upon demand (optional for 5-seat approved
cars) the central seat belt can be supplied with three an-
chor points reel belt or static two-point lap belt (for ver-
sions/markets where provided).
IMPORTANT Remember that in the event of a violent col-
lision, back seat passengers not wearing seat belts also
represent a serious danger for the front seat passengers.
SAFETY BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS fig. 98
The belt should be worn keeping the chest straight and
rested against the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue A and insert it in-
to the buckle B, until hearing the locking click. On removal,
if it jams, let it rewind for a short stretch, then pull it out
again without jerking.
To unfasten seat belts, press button C. Guide the belt while
it is rewinding to prevent it from twisting. Through the
reel, the belt automatically adapts to the body of the pas-
senger wearing it, allowing freedom of movement.
Never press button C when travelling.
WARNING
S.B.R. SYSTEM
The car is equipped with an S.B.R. system (Seat Belt Re-
minder) made up of a buzzer which, together with the seat
belt warning light
< on the instrument panel switching
on, warns the driver that the seat belt is not fastened.
