Seat Belts - Aston Martin DB 9 2010 Manual

Seat Belts

Aston Martin strongly recommend the use of seat belts.
Warning: Wearing your seat belt is crucial to your safety. Not
wearing a seat belt increases chance of serious injury or death in
the event of an accident.
Warning: Be sure that you and your passengers always fasten
their seat belts and use them properly even though airbags are
provided.
Warning: Reclining the seat back decreases protection
provided by the seat belt in the event of a crash. Adjust the seat
back to an upright position.
Warning: Make sure that the seat back is locked in place.
Otherwise it could move forward in the event of a sudden stop
or crash and cause injury.

Warning: Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony
structure of the body, and should be worn low across the front
of the pelvis, chest and shoulders; wearing the lap section of the
belt across the abdominal area must be avoided.
Warning: Never place shoulder portion of belt under your
arm or behind your back.
Warning: Always remove from your pockets rigid or
breakable objects, i.e. spectacles or a mobile phone, which
could be trapped under seat belts, possibly causing injury in the
event of an accident.
Warning: Expectant mothers should seek medical advice on
the most appropriate way to wear the seat belt.
Warning: Seat belts must be kept clean so that the retractor
works correctly. Make sure that belt webbing is not twisted,
looped, frayed or obstructed in any way. If in doubt about
condition or operation of seat belt installation, have it checked
by your Aston Martin Dealer.
Warning: No modifications or additions should be made by
the user which will either prevent seat belt adjusting devices
from operating, or prevent seat belt assembly from being
adjusted to remove slack. Never install accessories on your seat
belts.
Warning: Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as possible,
consistent with comfort, to provide the protection for which they
have been designed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
