Safety belts Seats with safety belt
The vehicle has four seats, each of which is
equipped with a safety belt.
Number of safety belts
Your vehicle has been fitted with four safety
belts for the safety of you and your passen‐
gers. However, they can only offer protection
when adjusted correctly.
Hints
Always make sure that safety belts are being
worn by all occupants before driving away.
To protect the occupants, the belt locking trig‐
gers early. Slowly guide the belt out of the
holder when applying it.
Although airbags enhance safety by providing
added protection, they are not a substitute for
safety belts.
One person per safety belt
Never allow more than one person to
wear a single safety belt. Never allow infants or
small children to ride on a passenger's lap.◀
Putting on the belt
Lay the belt, without twisting, snugly
across the lap and shoulders, as close to the
body as possible. Make sure that the belt lies
low around the hips in the lap area and does
not press on the abdomen. Otherwise, the belt
can slip over the hips in the lap area in a frontal
impact and injure the abdomen.
The safety belt must not lie across the neck,
rub on sharp edges, be routed over breakable
objects, or be pinched.◀
Reduction of restraining effect
Avoid wearing bulky clothing, and pull
the shoulder belt periodically to readjust the
tension. Make sure that the belt is not jammed;
otherwise, the belt can be damaged and the
restraining effect reduced.◀
Buckling the belt
Make sure you hear the latch plate engage in
the belt buckle.
