SEAT BELTS
Always wear your seat belt when
travelling in your vehicle. You must
also comply with the local
legislation of the particular country
you are in.
Adjusting your driving position
- Sit well back in your seat (having
removed your coat or jacket). This
is essential to ensure your back is
positioned correctly.
Before driving off:
- First ensure that your driving
position is correct,
- Then adjust your seat belt to
provide maximum protection.
- Adjusting the distance between
the seat and the pedals. Your seat
should be as far back as possible
while still allowing you to be able
to fully depress the clutch pedal.
The seatback should be adjusted
so that your arms are slightly bent
when you hold the steering wheel.

- Adjusting the position of your
headrest. For maximum safety, the
top of your head should be in line
with the top of the headrest.
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.
- Adjusting the height of the seat.
This adjustment allows you to
select the seat position which
offers you the best possible vision.
Shoulder strap 1 should be as close
to the base of your neck as possible
but not on it.
Incorrectly adjusted seat
belts may cause injuries
in the event of an
accident.
The lap strap 2 should be worn flat
over your thighs and against your
pelvis.
- Adjust the position of the steering
wheel.
Even pregnant women should
wear a seat belt. In this case,
ensure that the lap belt is not
exerting too much pressure on
the abdomen without allowing
any slack.
The belt should be worn so that it is
as close to your body as possible, i.e.
avoid wearing heavy clothing or
keeping bulky objects under the
belts.
