OCCUPANT PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
The following protection systems are
among the vehicle’s most important
safety equipment:
seat belts;
SBA (Seat Belt Alert) system;
head restraints;
child restraint systems;
Front airbags and side bags.
Read the information given the following
pages with the utmost care. It is of
fundamental importance that the
protection systems are used in the
correct way to guarantee the maximum
possible safety level for the driver and
the passengers.
For the description of the head restraint
adjustment see the "Head restraints"
paragraph in the "Knowing your car"
chapter.
SEAT BELTS
All the seat belts have 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 driver is responsible for respecting,
and ensuring that all the other occupants
of the vehicle also respect, the local laws
in force in relation to the use of the seat
belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.
USING THE SEAT BELTS
The seat belt should be worn keeping
the chest straight and rested against the
backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold fastening
tongue(1)fig.82 and insert itintobuckle
(2), until it clicks into place.

On removal of the belt, if it jams, let it
rewind for a short stretch, then pull it out
again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button
3 and guide the seat belt with your hand
while it is rewinding, to prevent it from
twisting.

The retractor may lock when the car is
parked on a steep slope: this is perfectly
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.
Wear the rear seat belts as shown in
fig.83 and fig.84.
