Seat
belts
CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
It has
been
proven
that
seat
belts
give
good
protection
in accidents. In
most
countries
therefore
the
wear
ing of
seat
belts
is
required
by law.
Attention
The
belts
should be put on
before
every
journey
-
even
in
town
traffic.
This
applies
also to the
rear
seats.
Pregnant
women
too should al
ways
wear
a
seat
belt.
The
routing
of the
belt
is of
major
importance
to the
protective
ef
fect
of the
belt.
How the
belt
should be
worn
is described on
the
next
pages.
General
notes
• The
belt
must
not be
twisted.
• Two persons
(including
children)
must never be secured
with
one belt. It is
particularly dangerous to put the belt round
a
child sitting on a persons lap.
• The belt should not be worn over hard or
breakable
articles (glasses, ball pens, key
rings,
pipes, etc.) because this can cause in
jury
to the body.
•
Loose,
bulky clothing (e.g. overcoats
over
jackets) affects the fit and function of
the belts.
• The belt must not be jammed anywhere or rub on any sharp edges.
• The lock tongue may only be inserted into the lock part belonging to the appropri
ate seat otherwise, the protective effect is
impaired.
• The slot for the belt tongue rr„s: -;: ze
blocked
with
paper or anyth'-c s ~
otherwise the tongue cannot 5"a;e properly.
• The belts must be kept clean otherwise the retractors may not work properly (see
also
"Care
of car" section).
• Seat belts which have become damagec or have been stressed in an accident and stretched must be renewed - preferably by
a
Volkswagen dealer. The anchorages
should
also be checked.
• In some export countries seat belts
could
be used on which the functions differ
from those described on the next pages.
• On the Delivery Van there are no belt an
chorage
points in the load compartment.
-DW
children can be carried safely in the ve- " cle is explained on page 18.
