Seat belts
Pedal area
P
edal
s
Do not allow floor mats or other objects to
obstruct the free passage of the pedals.
Fl
oor mats should leave the pedal area free
and unobstructed and be correctly secured
in the footwell zone.
In the event of failure of a brake circuit, the
brake pedal must be pressed harder than
normal to brake the vehicle.
WARNING
Objects falling into the driver's footwell
could pre
vent use of the pedals. This could
lead the driver to lose control of the vehi-
cle, increasing the risk of a serious acci-
dent.
●
Make sure the pedals can be used at all
times, with no objects rolling underneath
them.
●
Always secure the mat in the footwell.
●
Never place other mats or rugs on top of
the original mat supplied by the factory.
●
Ensure that no objects can fall into the
driver's footwell while the vehicle is in mo-
tion.
CAUTION
The pedals must always have free and un-
obstructed passage to the fl
oor. For exam-
ple, in case of a fault in the brake circuit,
the brake pedal will need to be pressed fur-
ther to stop the vehicle. To press the brake
pedal down further will require more force
than usual.

Why w
ear a set belt
Intr
oduction
Check the condition of all the seat belts at
regular int
ervals. If you notice that the belt
webbing, fittings, retractor mechanism or
buckle of any of the belts is damaged, the
belt must be replaced immediately by a spe-
cialised workshop
›››
. The specialised
w
orkshop must use the appr
opriat
e spare
parts corresponding to the vehicle, the equip-
ment and the model year. SEAT recommends
taking your car in for technical service.
WARNING
Unbuckled or badly buckled seat belts in-
crease the risk of sev
ere or even fatal inju-
ries. The seat belt cannot offer its full pro-
tection if it is not fastened and used cor-
rectly.
●
Seat belts are the most effective way of
reducing the risk of sustaining severe or fa-
tal injuries in the event of an accident. Seat
belts must be correctly fastened when the
vehicle is in motion to protect the driver
and all vehicle occupants.
●
Before each trip, every occupant in the
vehicle occupants must sit properly, cor-
rectly fasten the seat belt belonging to his
or her seat and keep it fastened throughout
