Examples of incorrect seated positions

Read and observe on page 7 first.
The maximum protection which seat belts can offer is only achieved if your
seatbelts are fastened correctly.
Incorrect seated positions considerably reduce the protective functions of the

The driver is fully responsible for himself and passengers, especially children.
Never allow a passenger to adopt an incorrect seated position when the car is
moving.
