► The safety belts must be positioned close to the body. They must never be held away from the user's body by
components of the product or other parts.
► Firmly tighten the safety belts after they are applied. However, the comfort of the user must be taken into con­
sideration:

position that is dangerous to him/her.
→ The belt straps must not be twisted on the user's body.
► The shoulder belt must run over the user's shoulder. If this is not possible, the user must not be transported in
this position in a motor vehicle.
