1-3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)
CAUTION
■
For Australian owners
Observe the following additional WARNINGS.
WARNING: Seatbelts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the
1
body, and should be worn low across the front of the pelvis or the pelvis,
chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing the lap section of the belt
across the abdominal area must be avoided.
Seatbelts 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.
Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the webbing with polishes,
oils and chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning may safely be car-
ried out using mild soap and water. The belt should be replaced if webbing
becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged.
It is essential to replace the entire assembly after it has been worn in a
severe impact even if damage to the assembly is not obvious.
Belts should not be worn with straps twisted.
Each belt assembly must only be used by one occupant; it is dangerous to
put a belt around a child being carried on the occupant's lap.
WARNING: No modifications or additions should be made by the user which
will either prevent the seat belt adjusting devices from operating to remove
slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly from being adjusted to remove
slack.
