Restraints; Seat Belts - CG CAPTIVA 7 Owner's Manual

SEAT BELTS

Front seat belts
To fasten the seat belt:
• Pull the metal tongue across your
body and clip it into the buckle.
• When the metal tongue is locked safely
into place you will hear a 'click'.
• Give a gentle pull on the buckle to
ensure full engagement.
• After fastening, settle the belt at the
hip, and run your hand under the sash
from hip to shoulder to ensure that the
belt fits comfortably and is free from
twists. Any extra belt length retracts
automatically.
• Ensure the lap section of the belt is
also free from twists and fits firmly
across your hips.
Note For your safety, wear the lap section
of the seat belt as low as possible on your
hips, not on your waist or abdomen.
The 'emergency-locking retractor belt'
allows you to move while the vehicle is
travelling normally, but locks immediately
on fast braking, impact with a solid object
or any quick movement by the wearer.
To undo the belt, press the release button on the buckle and allow the belt to retract.
Check that it fully retracts without twisting or turning.
Front seat belt height adjustment
WARNING
Do not attempt to adjust the seat belt
height while driving, because it could
cause loss of control of the vehicle.
The seat belt is anchored to the vehicle
near your shoulder, the position of the
front seat belt anchor can be adjusted to
accommodate the height of the wearer.
• Squeeze the release buttons to move
the adjuster up or down to the desired
height.
• Lock the safety belt anchor in position.
• To make sure it is locked in place, try to move the height adjuster without pressing
the release button.
Adjust the height so the seat belt passes over the wearer's shoulder and rests against
the shoulder. It must not pass over the neck or upper arm. Shorter people should select
a low seat belt guide position and taller people a higher one.
