Examples of incorrect seated positions

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 159.
The maximum protection which seat belts can offer is only achieved if your seat-
belts are fastened correctly.
Incorrect seated positions considerably reduce the protective functions of the
seat belts and therefore increase the risk of injury due to an incorrect routing of
the seat belt.
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.
