port at very high and very low temperatures.

Safety belts
General information
The vehicle is fitted with five safety belts to en‐
sure occupant safety. However, they can only of‐
fer protection when adjusted correctly.
Always make sure that safety belts are being
worn by the occupants before driving off. The
airbags supplement the safety belts as an addi‐
tional safety device. The airbags are not a substi‐
tute for safety belts.
The upper shoulder strap's anchorage point will
be correct for adult seat occupants of every build
if the seat is correctly set.
The two outer safety belt buckles of the rear
seats are intended for the persons sitting on the
left and right.
The center safety belt buckle of the rear seats is
intended for the person sitting in the middle.
Safety information
Warning
Use of a safety belt to buckle more than one
person will potentially defeat the ability of the
safety belt to serve its protective function.
There is a risk of injuries or danger to life. Do
not allow more than one person to wear a sin‐
gle safety belt. Infants and children are not al‐
lowed on an occupant's lap, but must be trans‐
ported and secured in designated child
restraint systems.
