Safety belts
Number of safety belts
The vehicle is fitted with five or seven safety
belts to ensure occupant safety. However, they
can only offer protection when adjusted cor‐
rectly.
The two outer safety belt buckles, integrated
into the 2nd row of seats, are for passengers
sitting on the left and right.
The center safety belt buckle of the 2nd row of
seats is solely intended for the person sitting in
the middle.
General information
Always make sure that safety belts are being
worn by all occupants before driving off. Al‐
though airbags enhance safety by providing
added protection, they are not a substitute for
safety belts.
Slowly guide the safety belt out of the holder
when fastening it.
The upper shoulder strap's anchorage point
will be correct for adult seat occupants of ev‐
ery build if the seat is correctly adjusted.
