Using The Belts - Vauxhall ASTRA Owner's Manual

Using the belts

Fitting seat belts
Pull the belt out of the retractor and guide
it across the body, making certain that it is
not twisted.
Insert the latch plate into the buckle. The
front seat backrest must not be tilted back
too far or the seat belt will not operate
properly. The recommended angle of
inclination is 25 °. Make sure that the lap
belt is not twisted and that it fits snugly
across the body. Tension the belt
frequently while driving by tugging the
diagonal part of the belt.

Warning
On pregnant women in particular, the lap
belt must be positioned as low as
possible across the pelvis so as not to put
too much pressure on the abdomen.
Bulky clothing prevents the belt from fitting
properly. The belt must not rest against
hard or fragile objects in the pockets of
your clothing (e.g. ballpoint pens, keys,
spectacles) because these could cause
injury. Do not place any objects (e.g.
handbags, mobile phones) between the
belt and your body.
