CONTROLS
Seat belts can be imperceptibly damaged in
the event of an accident. There is a risk of
injury or danger to life. Do not modify seat
belts, seat belt buckles, seat belt tension-
ers, roll-up mechanisms, or belt anchors and
keep them clean. After an accident, have the
seat belts checked by an authorized service
center or another qualified service center or
repair shop.
Correct use of seat belts
▷ Wear the seat belt tight to your body over
your lap and shoulders, without twisting it.
▷ Wear the seat belt deep on your hips over
your lap. The seat belt must not press on
your stomach.
▷ Do not rub the seat belt against sharp
edges, or guide it or jam it in across hard
or fragile objects.
▷ Avoid thick clothing.
▷ Re-tighten the seat belt frequently upward
around your upper body area.
