Accident statistics have shown properly worn
seat belts to be an eff
ective means of sub-
stantially reducing the risk of injury and im-
proving the chances of survival in a serious
accident. Furthermore, properly worn seat
belts improve the protection provided by air-
bags in the event of an accident. This is why
wearing a seat belt is a legal requirement in
most countries.
Although the vehicle is equipped with air-
bags, the seat belts must be fastened and
worn. For example, the front airbags will be
triggered only in certain types of frontal colli-
sion. The front airbags will not be triggered
during minor frontal collisions, minor side
collisions, rear collisions, rolls or accidents in
which the airbag trigger threshold in the con-
trol unit is not exceeded. The same applies to
the other airbags in the vehicle.
Therefore, always wear your seat belt and en-
sure that your passengers have fastened their
seat belts properly before you drive off. Using seat belts
