SEAT BELTS
The force limiter reduces the pres-
sure of the seat belt against the
chest of the occupant, so increasing
his protection.
Fastening
Pull the belt down in front of you
in a steady movement, making
sure that it does not become
twisted.
Press the fastening into its buckle.
Check that it is properly secured
and that the automatic locking
mechanism operates correctly
by pulling sharply on the belt
strap.
The lap strap should be posi-
tioned as low down as possible in
the lap and as tight as possible.
When correctly adjusted, the seat
belt shoulder strap falls over the
middle of the shoulder.
To adjust the belt, squeeze the
control and slide it in the direction
required.
VIII
The diagonal strap should be

length automatically to the girth of
the seat occupant.
