buckles, make sure that there are no foreign
bodies present (e.g.
a coin) before fastening.

is reeled in correctly.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly.

positioned as low as possible over the pelvis.

adjusted.

–

be tightened as close to the body as
possible.
–


be pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it is not twisted.
