Correct belt webbing arrange-
ment
The webbing arrangement is extremely important to
ensure that the seat belts offer the best possible
protection.
— The shoulder strap must run over the middle of
the shoulder, never over the neck, and must lie
firmly against the body (it must not run over loose
layers of clothing).
— The lap belt part must be placed in front of the
pelvis and fit tightly.
— For pregnant women, the lap belt part must be as
low as possible on the pelvis, so that there is no
pressure on the abdomen.
— The webbing must not be pinched or twisted or
rub against sharp edges.
— The webbing must not pass over solid or fragile
objects under clothing, such as a key ring, etc.
— The tongue may only be inserted into the buckle
of the associated seat.
— The webbing must be tight. Therefore, do not at-
tach clamps or similar items to the webbing to
adjust the seat belt according to body size.
Correct steering wheel posi-
tion
Incorrect steering wheel position can lead to serious
injuries to the arms, hands and head if the airbag de-
ploys.
— Hold the steering wheel with both hands on the
outer edge in the "9 o'clock" and "3 o'clock" posi-
tion.
Securing children properly
— Do not carry a child on your lap, and do not secure
the child and yourself with one seat belt.
— Only transport children in a suitable child
seat » page 37.
Children under 150 cm tall will not be properly pro-
tected without a child seat. Children who have been
inadequately secured can be thrown through the ve-
hicle in the event of an accident or a sudden ma-
noeuvre. This can result in life-threatening injuries
to yourself and other occupants.
If children lean forward or assume an incorrect sit-
ting position during the journey, they are more likely
to be injured in the event of an accident. This is es-
pecially true for children who are carried in the pas-
senger seat – if the airbag system triggers, they
could be seriously injured or killed.
Child secured in an incorrect sitting position is at
risk from the side airbag
The child should not be in the deployment area of
the side airbag.
