WARNING
Incorrect closure of the safety belt may introduce a risk. Make sure it is
tightened when buckled. To be most efficient, the belt must not be
twisted. Check that there is no constraint when operated. After an
accident, replace all belts.
Each cockpit seat is equipped with a four-point restraint system consisting of an
adjustable lap belt and a dual-strap inertia reel-type shoulder harness with
airbags, if installed.
Airbags, if installed, are inflated by two inflators located under the backrest fairing,
which are activated by an accelerometer fixed under the floor panel in front of the
seat.
The two cockpit seats are equipped with a buckle positioner that enables the
central buckle to be positioned correctly. The length of the buckle positioner is
adjustable using the self-gripping area of the strap. Each occupier of cockpit seats
must check that the buckle positioner is properly adjusted.
WARNING
The central buckle must be positioned so that the belt straps remain at
hip level (just below the center of gravity) to prevent the body from
slipping under the belts.
