The seat belt must always lie flat and snugly on the body. Tighten the belt slightly if necessary. 
For pregnant women, the seat belt must be positioned evenly over the chest and as low as possible 
over the pelvis. It must also lie flat so that no pressure is exerted on the abdomen this applies in 
every stage of pregnancy Fig. 37 
Adjusting seat belt routing to body size 
The following equipment can be used to adjust the seat belt routing: 
Seat belt height adjuster for the front seats Seat belt height adjuster 
Height-adjustable front seats Sitting position 
 
WARNING 
Incorrect seat belt routing can cause severe injuries in the event of an accident or a sudden braking 
or driving manoeuvre. 
The seat belts offer best protection only when the backrests are in an upright position and the seat 
belts have been fastened properly. 
The seat belt itself or a loose seat belt can cause serious injuries if the seat belt shifts from harder 
body parts in the direction of softer body parts (e.g. stomach). 
The shoulder part of the seat belt must lie on the centre of the shoulder and never under the arm or 
across the neck. 
The seat belt must lie flat and snugly on the upper body. 
The lap part of the seat belt must lie across the pelvis and never across the stomach. The seat belt 
must lie flat and snugly on the pelvis. Tighten the belt slightly if necessary. 
For pregnant women, the lap part of the seat belt must be as low as possible over the pelvis and lie 
flat around the round stomach. 
Do not twist the belt webbing while the seat belt is being worn. 
Never hold the seat belt away from the body by hand. 
The belt webbing should not lie over hard or fragile objects, such as glasses, pens or keys. 
Never use seat belt clips, retaining rings or similar items to alter the seat belt routing. 
 
If a person's physical build prevents them from routing the seat belt properly, contact a qualified 
workshop to find out about any special modifications so that the seat belts and airbags can provide  

does not 
mean there is a fire in the vehicle. 
The fine dust can cause irritation to the skin and eye membranes as well as cause breathing 
difficulties, particularly for those people suffering from asthma or other respiratory health problems. 
In order to reduce breathing difficulties, get out of the vehicle or open the windows or doors in 
order to breathe fresh air. 
If you should come into contact with the dust, you should wash your hands and face with a mild 
soap and water before eating. 
Do not rub the dust into your eyes or into open wounds. 
If dust has entered your eyes, rinse them with water. 
 
WARNING 
Cleaning agents that contain solvents cause the surface of the airbag modules to become porous. In 
an accident that triggers the airbag, loose plastic parts can cause serious injury. 
Never clean the dash panel or the airbag covers with cleaning agents that contain solvents.
