FRONT SEAT BELT HEIGHT
ADJUSTMENT
(upon request for versions/markets
where applicable)
The height of the seat belt attachment
should always be adjusted to suit the height
of the person wearing the seat belt. This pre-
caution makes it possible to improve the ef-
ficiency of the seat belt which greatly reduces
the risk of injury in the event of an accident.
The correct adjustment is obtained when
the belt passes about half way between the
tip of the shoulder and the neck.

After adjustment, always
check that the slider (B-fig.
43) is anchored in one of the po-
sitions provided. To do this, with
the grip (A-fig. 43) released, ex-
ert a further pressure to allow the
anchor device to catch if release did
not take place at one of the pre-
set positions.
WARNING
The height of the seat belts
shall always be adjusted
with the car stationary.
WARNING
LOAD LIMITERS
To increase passive safety, the front seat
belt reels contain a load limiter which allows
controlled sag in such a way as to dose the
force acting on the shpulder during the belt
restraining action.
The ring attached to the front seat belts
can be moved to several positions allowing
the belts to be adjusted.
To adjust the attachment, raise or lower
the grip (A-fig. 43) of the locking device,
at the same time moving the ring (B) to the
most appropriate of the allowed positions.
