General warnings for using the seat belts
The driver is obliged by law to respect and obey, also in relation with the passengers
carried, the provisions of local legislation regarding the compulsory use of seat belts.
To help provide maximum protection, you are advised to keep the seatback in the most
upright position possible and the seat belt close to your chest and pelvis. If the seat belt is loose, in the event of an accident you could move too far forward and could be injured. Travelling with the seatback too far reclined could also be dangerous: even if the seat belts are fastened, they may not work correctly. In fact, the belt itself may not be close enough to your
body and, if it is in front of you, it could cause neck wounds or other injuries in an accident. Additionally, in an accident, the lower section of the belt could press against the upper part of your stomach rather than the pelvic area, causing serious internal injuries.
When travelling with one or more child seats fitted on the
rear seat of the vehicle, the
tables must be in closed position.
When the vehicle is moving and the table/s is/are open, passengers traveling in the
rear seats must fasten their seat belts. Travelling without the seat belt fastened increases the risk of injury in the event of a collision.
Always fasten the seat belts. Travelling without the seat belts fastened increases the
risk of serious injury in the event of a collision, even with the airbags. In the event of a collision, the seat belts reduce the possibility of the vehicle's occupants being thrown against the structures of the passenger compartment or out of the vehicle. The airbags are designed to work together with the seat belts, not to substitute them. The front airbags only intervene in the event of certain head-on collisions of medium or high intensity. They will not be activated if the vehicle rolls over, or in the event of rear bumps or minor frontal collisions.
