Seat beltsNumber of seat belts
Your vehicle has been fitted with four seat
belts for the safety of you and your passen‐
gers. However, they can only offer protection
when adjusted correctly.
General Before a journey, always make sure that all oc‐
cupants have fastened their seat belts.
To protect vehicle occupants, belt interlock is
triggered early. When it is applied, guide the
belt slowly from the bracket.
The airbags are a complementary safety fea‐
ture and not a substitute for the seat belts.
The belt anchorage is suitable for adults of any
stature as long as the seat is correctly adjus‐
ted.
Notes WARNING
Using a seat belt to restrain more than
one person nullifies the protective effect of the
seatbelt. Danger of injury or life. Only restrain one person with each seat belt. Do not place
infants and children on your lap, but instead re‐
strain them with the child restraint systems
provided, and secure them accordingly.◀
WARNING
The protective effect of the seat belts
can be restricted or they can be rendered inef‐
fective if put on incorrectly. If a seat belt is not
worn correctly, additional injuries can be
caused, for example in the event of an accident
or braking and evasive manoeuvres. Danger of
injury or life. Make sure that all vehicle occu‐
pants have fastened their seat belts cor‐
rectly.◀WARNING
Seat belts are designed to bear upon the
bony structure of the body and should be worn
low across the front of the pelvis, or the pelvis,
chest and shoulders, as applicable. Wearing
the lap section of the belt across the abdomi‐
nal area must be avoided.
Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as pos‐
sible, consistent with comfort, to provide the
protection for which they have been designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce the protection
afforded to the wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid contamination of
the seat belt strap by polishes, oils and chemi‐
cals and particularly battery acid. Cleaning may
safely be carried out using mild soap and wa‐
ter. The seat belt strap should be replaced if
webbing becomes frayed, contaminated or
damaged. Seat belts should not be worn with
seat belt straps twisted. Each seat belt assem‐
bly must only be used by one occupant; it is il‐
legal to carry an infant or a child on the occu‐
pant's lap.
It is essential to replace the entire assembly af‐
ter it has been worn in a severe impact even if
damage to the assembly is not obvious.◀
WARNING
No modifications or additions should be
made by the user that will either prevent the
seat belt adjusting devices from operating to
remove slack, or prevent the seat belt assem‐
bly from being adjusted to remove slack.◀
Correct seat belt use▷Place the seat belt tightly over the pelvis
and shoulder as close as possible to the
body and without twisting.▷Make sure that it is positioned low at the
hip in the area of the pelvis. The seat belt
must not press on the midriff.▷The seat belt must not pass across the
neck. It should not be pulled or jammed
across sharp edges or breakable objects.Seite 52ControlsAdjusting52
