Seat belts
WARNINGS
Wear a seat belt and keep sufficient
distance between yourself and the
steering wheel. Only when you use
the seat belt properly, can it hold you in a
position to achieve its optimum effect. See
Sitting in the Correct Position (page
109). WARNINGS
Never use a seat belt for more than
one person.
Use the correct buckle for each seat
belt.
Do not use a seat belt that is slack
or twisted.
Do not wear thick clothing. The seat
belt must fit tightly around your body
to achieve its optimum effect.
Position the shoulder strap of the
seat belt over the centre of your
shoulder and position the lap strap
tightly across your hips. Seat belt pretensioners have a lower
deployment threshold than the airbags.
During minor collisions, it is possible that
only the seat belt pretensioners will deploy.
All vehicles
The driver and front passenger seat belt
systems are fitted with a seat belt
pretensioner.
Grand C-MAX
The second row centre seat belt system is
also fitted with a seat belt pretensioner.
Status after a collision
WARNINGS
Seat belts subjected to strain, as a
result of an accident, should be
renewed and the anchorages
checked by a properly trained technician. If a seat belt pretensioner has been
deployed the seat belt must be
renewed.
