WARNING
• Take care that the belt does not
become trapped when the backrest is
folded down or raised, see page 110.
• If you must place an item of luggage
on a seat, ensure that it is secured
properly with the seat belt. This
reduces the risk of its being sent flying
and causing injury in the event of a collision.
• Protect the belt from sharp edges.

belt buckle. The buckles for the centre
and left-hand rear seats are close
together.
The three rear seats all have three-point
seat belts with inertia reels.
Fasten the belt by smoothly pulling out the
strap and inserting the tongue into the
buckle. Check that the tongue is securely
fastened.
Take hold of the diagonal strap close to the
buckle and pull the belt up towards the
shoulder to tighten the hip strap. Position
the hip strap low across the hips.
