LOAD LIMITERS
To increase passenger’s safety, front and rear (where provided) seat belt
reels contain a load limiter which allows controlled sag in such a way as
to dose the force acting on the shoulders during the belt restraining
action in case of front crash.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
THE SEAT BELTS
The driver must comply with (and have the vehicle occupants follow) all
the local legal regulations concerning the use of seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before starting.
Seat belts are also to be worn by expectant mothers: the risk of injury in
the case of accident is greatly reduced for them and the unborn child if
they are wearing a seat belt. Of course they must position the lower part
of the belt very low down so that it passes under the abdomen (as
illustrated in the figure).
IMPORTANT The belt should not be twisted. The upper part should
pass over the shoulder and cross the chest diagonally. The lower part
should adhere to the pelvis and to the abdomen of the passenger (as
illustrated in the figure). Do not use any objects (pegs, stoppers, etc.) to
keep the belts away from the body.

WARNING
For maximum safety, keep the back of your seat upright, lean back into it and
make sure the seat belt fits closely across your chest and hips. Make sure that the
seat belts of the front and rear passengers are fastened at all times! You increase
the risk of serious injury or death in a collision if you travel with the belts
unfastened.
