Seating and safety restraints
SEAT BELTS
Use seat belts/child restraints at all
times. Never use a seat belt for
more than one person. Ensure belts
are not slack or twisted and are not
obstructed.
Avoid wearing thick and
bulky clothing. For
optimum protection the seat belts
should fit tightly around the body.
Fastening the seat belts
Pull the belt out steadily. It may
lock if pulled sharply or if the
vehicle is on a slope.
The seat belt should cross the
centre of the shoulder; the lap strap
should fit tightly across the hips,
not the stomach.
Insert the tongue into the
buckle until a distinct click
is heard, otherwise the seat belt
will not be locked correctly.
To release the belt, press the red
button on the buckle and let the
belt rewind completely and
smoothly.
