Split, worn or frayed seat belts may not
function correctly in the event of a collision,
if there are any signs of damage, replace the
belt immediately.
Always ensure the red release button on the
seat belt buckle is pointing upwards to ensure
easy release in the event of an emergency.
Please follow the instructions below to check the seat belt

fixing device regularly:
• Insert the seat belt metal tab into the corresponding
buckle and pull seat belt webbing close to the buckle
quickly to check that the belt clasp locks.
• Hold the metal tab and pull the seat belt forward quickly
to check that the seat belt reel locks automatically,
preventing the webbing from extending.
