Seat Belts - Renault KWID 2024 User Manual

SEAT BELTS

Always wear your seat belt when
travelling in your vehicle. You must
also comply with the legislation of the
particular country you are in.
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.
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.
Adjusting the seat belts
For correct adjustment and positioning
of the seat belts at all seats:
– adjust the seats (seat position and
seatback angle, if available);
– sit with your back firmly against the
seatback;
– move the chest strap 1 as close as
possible to the base of the neck
without it actually resting against it (if
necessary, adjust the height of the seat
belt if available) and make sure that
the chest strap 1 is in contact with the
shoulder;
– position the lap belt 2 so that it lies
flat on the thighs and against the
pelvis.
The belt should be worn so that it is as
close as possible to your body, i.e.:
avoid wearing heavy clothing or
keeping bulky objects under the belts,
etc.
Locking
Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly
and ensure that buckle 3 locks into
latch 5 (check that it is locked by
pulling on buckle 3 ).
If the belt jams, allow it to return
slightly before attempting to unwind it
again.
If your seat belt is completely jammed,
pull slowly, but firmly, so that just over
3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly
before attempting to unwind it again.
