Front belt guide
Belt guide
The belt guide for the front seat belts can be
adjusted to different heights.
Adjust the belt so that it is as high up as pos-
sible. To avoid chaffing in the case of a short
person, the guide can be lowered until the
belt is a few centimetres from the neck while
still providing safe restraint.
