Correct seat belt use
▷ Place the seat belt tightly over the pelvis
and shoulder as close as possible to the
body and without twisting.
▷ Make sure that it is positioned low at the
hip in the area of the pelvis. The seat belt
must not press on the midriff.
▷ The seat belt must not pass across the
neck. It should not be pulled or jammed
across sharp edges or breakable objects.
▷ Avoid bulky clothing.
▷ Regularly pull the seat belt in the upper-
body area taut.
Adjustment for automatic retracting
seat belts
▷ Draw the buckle tongue attached to the
seat belt across the body and press it into
the buckle catch until a 'click' is heard.
▷ Adjustment of the belt length is very im‐
portant. To adjust the lap belt and check
whether the buckle has locked correctly,
pull upwards on the shoulder strap until the
lap belt fits tightly.
▷ The length of the diagonal shoulder strap
adjusts itself automatically to allow free‐
dom of movement.
▷ To release the seat belt, press the button
on the buckle catch unit.
