Safe driving
an incorrect position means the seat belt
cannot off er its full pr
ot
ection. This could re-
sult in severe and even fatal injuries. The risk
of severe or fatal injuries is especially height-
ened when a deploying airbag strikes a vehi-
cle occupant who has assumed an incorrect
sitting position. The driver is responsible for all
passengers in the vehicle, particularly chil-
dren.
The following list shows just some examples
of incorrect sitting positions which can be
dangerous to all vehicle occupants.

ed on, signalling that the function is being
verified. They will switch off after a few sec-
