Safety belts
Each seat is equipped with a three-point safety
belt. Safety belts that are worn correctly are the
most effective way to reduce the risk of serious or
fatal injuries in a collision. Therefore, wear your
safety belt correctly and make sure that all vehi-
cle occupants also wear their safety belts correct-
ly when the vehicle is moving.
Even though your vehicle is equipped with an air-
bag system, all vehicle occupants must still al-
ways wear their safety belts. In addition to their
normal protective function, safety belts also hold
vehicle occupants in the correct seating position
in the event of a collision so that the airbags can
deploy correctly and provide additional protec-
tion. Safety belts provide protection during colli-
sions when the airbags do not deploy or if they
have already deployed.

ZA WARNING
The risk of serious or fatal injury increases if
the safety belt is not fastened, if it is worn in-
correctly, or if it is damaged.
— All vehicle occupants, including the driver,
must fasten their safety belts correctly be-
fore every trip and must always keep their
safety belts fastened during the trip, regard-
less of whether the seat is equipped with an
airbag or not. This also applies to children
