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
