Safety belts
Standard equipment on this vehicle
includes safety belts for both the front
seats. Make a habit of fitting the belts as
soon as you get into the car. The length
of each belt can be easily adjusted by
means of the part attached to the floor.
Adjust the length of the belt very
carefully. It should not be to tight, but on
the other hand, should not be to loose
since it will then not function properly.
The belt is taken down from the button
on which it hangs by pressing in the
spring-loaded handle in the slot. The belt
is then fitted with one part round the
waist and the other part over the
shoulder and the breast and it is then
clipped into position on the fitting
between the seats. To remove the belt,
press in the spring-loaded handle in the
slot.
Check now and then that the bolts
retaining the belt are well tightened. If the
belts have become dirty they can be
cleaned with water and synthetic
detergent.
Adjusting the seats
The front seats can be adjusted
backwards and forwards after the handle
on the adjuster rail has been moved to
one side. Exert pressure with your feet
on the floor and move the seat to the
most comfortable position. The angle of
the backrest can be adjusted by means
of the screw at the bottom behind the
seat.
