SEAT BELTS

USING THE SEAT BELTS

The belt should be worn keeping the chest straight and rested against the
seat back.

To fasten the belt, take hold the tongue (A) and insert it into the buckle
(B), until hearing the locking click.

At removal, if it jams, let it rewind for a short stretch, then pull it out
again without jerking.

To unfasten the seat belts, press button (C). Guide the seat belt with
your hand while it is rewinding, to prevent it from twisting.

Through the reel, the belt automatically adapts to the body of the
passenger wearing it, allowing freedom of movement.

When the car is parked on a steep slope the reel mechanism may block;
this is normal. The reel mechanism prevents the webbing coming out
when it is jerked or if the car brakes sharply, in a collision or when
cornering at high speeds.

Never press button (C) when travelling.
