Three-point seat belt

Fasten
Withdraw the seat belt from the
retractor, guide it untwisted across
the body. With the other hand, pull the
seat belt down and forward so that the
latch plate is able to slide without
resistance. Insert the latch plate into
the buckle. Make sure the seat belt
lies across the shoulder and fits tightly
to the body while driving.
Loose or bulky clothing prevents the
seat belt from fitting snugly. Do not
place objects such as handbags or
mobile phones between the seat belt
and your body.
9 Warning
The seat belt must not rest against
hard or fragile objects in the
pockets of your clothing.
