SEAT BELTS

All vehicle seats are equipped with

seat belts with three anchor points

and a retractor. The reel mechanism

operates locking the belt in the event

of sharp braking or strong deceleration

due to an impact. This allows the belt

strap to slide freely and to adapt to the

body of the occupant. In the event of

an accident, the belt will lock reducing

the risk of impact inside the passenger

compartment and of being projected

outside the car.

The retractor may lock when the

vehicle is parked on a steep slope: this

is perfectly normal. Furthermore, the

retractor mechanism locks the belt

if it is pulled sharply or in the event

of sudden braking, collisions and

high-speed bends.
