The seat is designed for the standard three-point
seat belt. If you install a different multipoint seat
belt, such as a four-point seat belt, the restraint
system will not be able to provide the intended
level of protection.
Depending on the type of vehicle, there may be
openings in the seat backrest. These openings
have no function.
& WARNING Risk of injury or fatal injury due
to modified seat belt systems
If you feed seat belts through the opening in
the seat backrest, the seat backrest may be
damaged or may even break in the event of an
accident.
Only use the standard three-point seat
#
belt.
Never modify the seat belt system.

qualified specialist workshop as soon as
possible.
