Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.
The shoulder strap 1 should be as close
as possible to the base of the neck but
not on it.
Lap belt 2 must be worn flat over the
thighs and against the pelvis. The seat
belt must be worn as close to the body
as possible. i.e.: avoid wearing heavy
clothing or keeping bulky objects under
the belts, etc.
Before starting, first adjust your
driving position, then ask all
occupants to adjust their seat belts
to ensure optimum protection.
Adjusting your driving position
(depending on the vehicle)
– Sit well back in your seat (having
removed your coat or jacket etc.).
This is essential to ensure your back
is positioned correctly;
– adjust the distance between the
seat and the pedals. Your seat
should be as far back as possible
while still allowing you to depress
the clutch pedal fully. The seatback
should be adjusted so that your arms
are slightly bent when you hold the
steering wheel.
– Ensure that no objects are
placed in the area around
the seat belt latch as they
could prevent it from being
properly secured.
– Make sure the seat belt latch is
properly positioned (it should
not be hidden away, crushed or
flattened by people or objects).
Always wear your seat belt when
travelling in your vehicle. You must
also comply with the legislation of the
particular country you are in.
Make sure that the rear bench seat
is locked in correct position so that
the rear seat belts will operate
efficiently. Refer to the information
on the Seats in Section 1.
Incorrectly adjusted or
twisted seat belts may
cause injuries in the event
of an accident.
Use one seat belt per person,
whether child or adult.
Even pregnant women should wear
a seat belt. In this case, ensure that
the lap belt is not exerting too much
pressure on the abdomen, but do
not allow any slack.
