SEAT BELTS
Always wear your seat belt when travelling in your vehicle. You must also comply with the legislation of the particular country you are in.
Before driving off:
-firstly ensure that your driving position is correctly adjusted,
-then adjust your seat belt to provide maximum protection.
Incorrectly adjusted seat belts may cause injuries in
the event of an accident.
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.
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.
•Adjust the distance between the seat and the pedals. Your seat should be as far back as possible while still allowing you to fully depress the clutch pedal. The seatback should be adjusted so that your arms are slightly bent when you hold the steering wheel.
•Adjust the position of your head restraint. For safety reasons, the top of your head should be in line with the top of the head restraint.
•Adjust the height of the seat. This adjustment allows you to select the seat position which offers you the best possible view.
•Adjust the position of the steering wheel.

Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the seatback.
The thorax belt 1 should be as close to the base of your neck as possible but not on it.
The lap belt 2 should be worn flat over your thighs and against your pelvis.
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.
