Positioning seat belts
Seat belts offer their maximum protection on-

WARNING
The seat belts offer best protection only
●
when the backrests are in an upright posi-
tion and the seat belts have been fastened
properly.
Never put the latch plate in the buckle of
●
another seat. If you do this, the seat belt
will not protect you properly and the risk of
injury is increased.
Never unbuckle a seat belt while the ve-
●
hicle is in motion. If you do, you increase
the risk of sustaining severe or fatal injuries.
An incorrectly worn seat belt can cause
●
severe injuries in the event of an accident.
For pregnant women, the lap part of the
●
seat belt must lie as low as possible over
the pelvis, never across the stomach, and
always lie flat so that no pressure is exer-
