Using the seat belts
• The belt should be worn keeping the torso
straight and rested against the backrest.
• To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue A
and insert it into the buckle B, until it
clicks into position. On 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.
• The reel may lock when the car is parked on a steep slope: this is normal.
Furthermore, the reel mechanism locks the belt if it is pulled sharply or in
the event of sudden braking, collisions and high-speed bends.
S.B.R. SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
• The car is equipped with a system called S.B.R. (Seat Belt Reminder), which
warns the driver and front passenger if their seat belt is not fastened.
PRETENSIONERS
• To increase the efficiency of seat belts, the car is fitted with pretensioners
which, in the event of a violent frontal impact, rewind the belt a few
centimetres ensuring that it adheres perfectly to the occupant before the
restraining action begins. The reel locks to indicate that the device has
intervened; the seat belt cannot be drawn back up even when guiding it
manually.
• IMPORTANT: to obtain the highest degree of protection from the action of the
pretensioner, wear the seat belt keeping it tight to the chest and pelvis.
