The seat backrest must not be tilted back
too far (the recommended maximum tilting
angle is approx. 25°).
The lap belt must not be twisted and must

Bulky clothing prevents
the belt from fitting
properly. The belt must not rest against
hard or fragile objects in the pockets of
your clothing (e.g. ballpoint pens, keys,
spectacles) because these could cause
injury in the event of a collision. Do not
place any objects (e.g. handbags) between
the belt and your body. Front passenger’s seat belt reminder
