Safety
Occupant safety
Make sure that the belt:
is routed across your pelvic area as low
down as possible, i.e. across your hip
joints and not across your abdomen
fits snugly
is not twisted
is routed across the middle of your
shoulder
is not routed across your neck or under
your arm
is pulled tight across the hip joints by
pulling upwards on the shoulder section
of the belt
Never use a seat belt to secure objects if it
is also being used by one of the vehicle's oc-
cupants.
Avoid wearing bulky clothing, e.g. winter
coats.

Do not route the belt strap over sharp or
fragile objects, particularly if these are on or
in your clothing, e.g. spectacles, pens or
keys. The belt strap could otherwise tear in
the event of an accident and you or other ve-
hicle occupants could be injured.
Only one person may use each seat belt at
any one time.
On no account should children travel sitting
on the lap of another occupant. The child
cannot be properly secured and he and oth-
er vehicle occupants could be seriously in-
jured in the event of sudden braking, or even
fatally injured in the event of an accident.
Persons less than 1.50 m tall or children un-
der twelve years of age cannot wear the
seat belts properly. They therefore require
additional restraint systems fitted on suita-
ble seats in the vehicle for protection in the
event of an accident. Always follow the child
restraint system manufacturer's installation
instructions.

Risk of injury
The seat belt only provides the intended lev-
el of protection if the backrest is almost ver-
tical and the occupant is sitting upright.
Avoid seat positions that do not allow the
seat belt to be routed correctly. Position the
backrest as close to the vertical as possible.
Never drive with the backrest reclined too
far back. You could otherwise be seriously
or fatally injured in the event of an accident
or sudden braking.
The seat belt cannot function correctly if the
belt strap or the belt buckle is dirty or dam-
aged. You must therefore keep the belt
strap and buckle clean, otherwise the belt
tongue cannot engage correctly.
