Driving on unknown streets, you may encounter hazardous road condi-
tions and unexpected driving situations. Therefore, in the interest of
safety, make sure your driving speed is appropriate to any given driving
situation and environment.
Adhere to the national legal speed limits.
5.3
Brakes
Have defects on the braking system immediately remedied by an author-
ised specialist workshop.
Avoid block brakings. Block braking gives the tyres "brake plates" of var-
ying strength. This reduces driving comfort. It might even make the tyres
unserviceable.
Before each journey, check by means of a braking test:
Do the brakes function?
Do the brakes react evenly?
Does the vehicle remain in the lane when braking?
5.4
Seat belts
Depending on the model, the vehicle is equipped with automatic three-point
safety and/or lap belts in the living area. National regulations apply seat-belt
fastening.
Fasten your seat belts before the beginning of the journey and keep
them fastened during the journey.
Do not damage or trap belts. Have damaged seat belts changed by an
authorised specialist workshop.
Do not alter the belt fixing devices, automatic seat belt winders and the
belt clips.
Inspect the screwed connections of the seat belts from time to time in
order to ensure that they are correctly seated.
Only use one seat belt for one adult person.
Do not belt in objects together with persons.
Seat belts are not sufficient for persons who are less than 150 cm tall. In
these cases use additional restraining devices. Observe test certificate.
Factory-set three-point safety belts must be used when attaching child
restraint systems.
After an accident, replace the seat belts.
During the journey, do not tilt the backrest too far backwards. Otherwise
the functionality of the seat belt is no longer guaranteed.
