Seat belts – buckling/unbuckling
Seat belts should be used by all occupants in the vehicle when it is in motion.
Buckling a seat beltPull the belt out far enough to insert the latchplate into the receptacle until a distinct clickis heard. The seat belt retractor is normally"unlocked" and you can move freely, provi-ded that the shoulder belt is not pulled outtoo far.
Adjusting seat belt height (front seatbelts only)
Adjusting seat belt height
The height of the shoulder section of the seat belt must be correctly adjusted. Press thebutton and move the upper seat belt anchorto position it as high as possible so that theshoulder section of the belt is across the seatoccupant's collarbone and not across thethroat.
Correct height adjustment
Incorrect height adjustment
Seat belt retractorThe seat belt retractor will lock up in the following situations:
• if the belt is pulled out rapidly
• during braking and acceleration
• if the vehicle is leaning excessively •
when driving in turns
• if the Automatic Locking Retractor/Emer- gency Locking Retractor (ALR/ELR) isactivated
NOTE
Each seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equipped with the ALR/ELR function,which is designed to help keep the seatbelt taut. ALR/ELR activates if the seat beltis pulled out as far as possible. If this isdone, a sound from the seat belt retractorwill be audible, which is normal, and theseat belt will be pulled taut and locked inplace. This function is automatically disa-bled when the seat belt is unbuckled andfully retracted.
See also Child restraints (p. 47) for informa- tion about using a seat belt's ALR/ELR func-tion to anchor a child seat.
When wearing the seat belt remember:
• The belt should not be twisted or turned.
• The lap section of the belt must be posi- tioned low on the hips (not pressingagainst the abdomen).
• Make sure that the shoulder belt is rolledup into its retractor and that the shoulderand lap belts are taut.
Unbuckling the seat beltTo remove the seat belt, press the red section on the seat belt receptacle. Before exiting thevehicle, check that the seat belt retracts fully
