SAFETY DEVICES

When the car is parked on a steep slope

the reel mechanism may block; this is nor-

mal. 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.

The rear seat is fitted with inertial seat

belts with three anchor points and reel.

Rear seat belts shall be worn as shown in

fig. 2.

SEAT BELTS

USING THE SEAT BELTS fig. 1

The belt should be worn keeping the chest

straight and rested against the seat back.

To fasten the seat belts, 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 with-

out 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 wear-

ing it, allowing freedom of movement.

Never press button C-fig. 1

when travelling.
