Safety
Restraint systems
Only one person may use each seat belt at
any one time.
Never use a seat belt to secure objects if it
is already being used by one of the vehicle
occupants.
Avoid wearing bulky clothing, e.g. winter
coats.
Do not route the belt strap over sharp or
fragile objects, particularly if these are on
or in your clothing, e.g. spectacles, pens
or keys. The belt strap could tear and you or
other vehicle occupants could be injured.

On no account should children travel sitting
on the lap of another occupant. The child
cannot then be properly restrained in the
event of an accident, sharp braking or sud-
den change in direction and the child or the
other vehicle occupants could be seriously
or fatally injured.
Persons less than 1.50 m tall or children
under twelve years of age cannot wear their
seat belt properly. They therefore require
additional restraint systems fitted on suita-
ble seats in the vehicle for protection in the
event of an accident. Always follow the child
restraint system manufacturer's installation
instructions.

Risk of injury
The seat belt can only provide its intended
degree of protection if the backrest is posi-
tioned almost vertically and the occupant
is therefore sitting upright. Avoid seat posi-
tions that do not allow the seat belt to be
routed correctly. For this reason, position
the backrest as close to the vertical as pos-
sible. Never drive with the backrest reclined
too far back.
