Notes on wearing the seat belt correctly
Always fasten your seat belt correctly before

best level of protection only if it is worn correctly.

If the seat belt is not worn correctly, it cannot
perform its intended protective function.
In addition, an incorrectly fastened seat belt
can also cause injuries, for example, in the event of an accident or when braking or
changing direction suddenly.
Always ensure that all vehicle occupants
have their seat belts fastened correctly
and are sitting properly.&WARNING Risk of injury or death when
additional restraint systems are not used
for persons with a smaller stature
Persons under 5 "s (1.50 m ) tall cannot wear
the seat belt correctly without a suitable addi-
tional restraint system.
Always secure persons under 5 "s
(1.50 m) tall in a suitable restraint sys-
tem.Each vehicle occupant must observe the following
notes in particular:
= The seat belt must not be twisted:
= The shoulder belt strap must be routed
forward from the seat belt outlet over the cen- ter of your shoulder.
= The shoulder belt strap should neither touch
your neck nor be routed under your arm or
behind your back.
= The lap belt must be routed as low down
across the hips as possible.
In addition, push the lap belt down as far as
possible across your hips and pull tight with the shoulder belt strap. Never route the lap
belt across your abdomen.
Pregnant women must also take particular
care with this.

snugly against the body a"ser being tightened.
= Avoid wearing bulky clothing, e.g. a winter
