In order to be effective, a seat belt
must:
● be tightened as close to the
body as possible.
● be pulled in front of you with a
smooth movement, checking
that it is not twisted.
● only be used to secure one
person.
● not show signs of tearing or
fraying.
● not be changed or modified, in
order to avoid affecting its
performance.
9Warning
Use a suitable child restraint
system if the passenger is less
than 12 years old or shorter than
one and a half metres.
Make sure that the seat belt is
correctly positioned and tightened.
Never use the same seat belt to
secure more than one child.
Never carry a child on your lap.
For more information on restraint
systems, refer to the
corresponding section.
9Warning
Have the seat belts checked
regularly by a qualified workshop,
particularly if the straps show
signs of damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with
soapy water or a textile cleaning
product, sold by dealers or
qualified workshops.
The seat belts are equipped with an
inertia reel which allows the strap
length adjust to your shape
automatically.
The seat belt returns to its storage

buckle. Make sure the belt fits tightly
to the body while driving.
Loose or bulky clothing prevents the
belt from fitting snugly. Do not place
objects such as handbags or mobile
phones between the belt and your

or fragile objects in the pockets of
your clothing.
Unfasten

abdomen.
Child restraint systems
Note
The regulations on carrying children
are specific to each country. Refer to
the legislation in force in your
country.
9Warning
An incorrectly installed child seat
in a vehicle compromises the
child's safety in the event of an
accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or
seat belt buckle under the child
seat, as this could destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts
or the child seat harness keeping
the slack relative to the child's
body to a minimum, even for short
journeys.
Check that the seat belt is properly
tightened over the child seat and
that it holds the child seat firmly
against the vehicle seat. For child
seats with a support leg, ensure
that the support leg is in firm and
steady contact with the floor.
9Warning
The chest part of the seat belt
must be positioned on the child's
shoulder without touching the
neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat
belt passes correctly over the
child's thighs.
Use a booster seat with a
backrest, equipped with a belt
guide at shoulder level.
9Warning
As a safety measure, do not leave:
● A child alone and unsupervised
inside the vehicle.
● A child or an animal in a vehicle
exposed to the sun with the
windows closed.
● The keys inside the vehicle.
