Position of seat belt during pregnancy. Seat belts offer their maximum protection in
the e
v
ent of an accident and r educe the risk
of sust aining se

vere or fatal injuries only when
they are properly positioned. Furthermore, if
the webbing is correctly positioned, the seat belt will hold the vehicle occupants in the op-
timum position to ensure the airbag provides
the maximum pr

otection. The seat belt must
therefore always be worn and the webbing
correctly positioned.
Incorrectly worn seat belts can cause severe
or even fatal injuries

shop for help with any special devices to
ensur e the optimum pr

belt and airbag. SEAT recommends taking
your car in for technical service. Seat belt tensioners
How the seat belt tensioner works The seat belts for the front seats and the side

ear seats 1)
ar e equipped with belt t ensioners.
The belt t ensioners ar

e activated by sensors,
although only in severe head-on, lateral and
rear-end collisions. This retracts and tightens
the seat belts, reducing the forward motion of
the occupants.
The belt pre-tensioners work in combination
with the airbag system. In case of overturn,
the pre-tensioners do not activate unless the
head airbags are deployed. Note

When the front passenger airbag is deacti-
vated, this means that only the front passen-

airbags in the vehicle remain activated.

Vehicle interior Introduction
For safety reasons, as we have learned from
accident st
atistics, w
e recommend that chil
-
dr

en under 12 years of age travel in the rear
seats. Depending on their age, height and
weight, children travelling in rear seats must
use a child seat or a seat belt. For safety rea-
sons, the child seat should be installed in the
rear seat, behind the front passenger seat or
in the centre back seat.
The physical laws involved and the forces
acting in a collision apply also to children
