As the engine needs to be running during customization, ensure that the
vehicle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed area such
as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxide (CO) may
collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health
hazard.

être en contact avec le cou ou
glisser de l’épaule.
● Placez la sangle abdominale le
plus bas possible sur les han-
ches.
● Réglez la position du dossier de
siège. Asseyez-vous le dos le
plus droit possible et calez-
vous bien dans le siège.
● Ne vrillez pas la ceinture de
sécurité.

■Détérioration et usure des ceintures de sécurité
Inspectez les ceintures de sécurité périodiquement. Contrôlez qu’elles ne
sont pas entaillées, effilochées et que leurs ancrages ne sont pas desser-
rés. N’utilisez pas une ceinture de sécurité défectueuse avant qu’elle ne soit
remplacée. Une ceinture de sécurité défectueuse n’apporte aucune garan-
tie de protection de l’occupant en cas d’accident.
