Safety Belts - Porsche 928S 1983 Driver Manual

Safety belts

Your Porsche is equipped with safety belts
as standard fittings. All occupants of the car
should wear safety belts for their own safety,
on every journey. To remind you of this, a
warning light in the middle console comes
on for approx. 6 seconds, every time the
ignition is turned on.
The lap and shoulder belts as fitted are not
suitable for children under 140 cm (4 ft. 6
ins.) tall. To stop them distracting the driver's
attention, and for their own safety, children
under 12 years old should always travel in
the rear seats.
Never use one seat belt for two people.
Loose clothing affects the fit of the seat belt.
You should therefore take your coat off, be-
cause a correct seating position and free-
dom of movement are important for comfort
and safety.
16
Do not run the belt over fragile objects in
your pockets, e. g. spectacles, pens or a
pipe etc. as these could represent additi-
onal hazards.
Please remember when driving abroad, that
in some countries the wearing of seat belts
is compulsory.
Putting on the belts
Decide the best seating position for your-
self. Take hold of the sliding buckle and pull
the belt firmly over chest and hips. Press the
buckle into the respective anchor point until
you hear that the latch is locked. Slide the
plastic loop up to the buckle.
Avoid twists in the webbing when putting
on the belt.
