● All drivers and passengers must be seated
correctly before the start of the vehicle and
remain seated correctly at all times, even
when wearing a seat belt.
● The number of people in the car shall not ex-
ceed the number of seats equipped with seat
belts in the car.
● When driving with children, the appropriate
protection system
page 43, Safe trans-
port of children and
page 37, Airbag sys-
tem must be selected according to the
height and weight of children to protect chil-
dren.
● Keep your feet in their respective foot space
at all times while driving. Do not rest your
feet on the dash panel or extend them out of
the window. Otherwise, the airbag and seat
belt will not play a full protective role, and it
is very easy to get injured in an accident.
Incorrect sitting position and
potential risks
Please refer to
at the start of the chapter
on page 28.
Drivers who are not wearing seatbelts properly or
are not wearing seatbelts are more likely to be
seriously injured or killed in an accident. Only
wearing the correct seat belt can give full play to
the protective effect. Incorrect sitting posture
will inevitably lead to incorrect seat belt wearing
parts, greatly reducing the protective effect of
the seat belt, which may cause serious injury or
even death in the event of an accident. If the air-
bag is triggered at the same time, the airbag hits
the car with the wrong sitting position, the injury
will be more serious. Drivers must remind all oc-
cupants at all times to wear seat belts and main-
tain proper sitting posture.
The following incorrect posture may endanger all
occupants of the vehicle.
When the vehicle is in motion:
– Never stand in a car.
– Do not stand on the seat.
– Do not kneel on the seat.
– Never recline your seat backrest too much.
– Do not lean on the dash panel.
– Do not lie on the car seat and rear row seat.
– Don't just sit in front of the seat.
– Do not lean against the side of the seat.
– Do not lean out of the window.
– Don't put your feet out of the window.
– Never rest your feet on the dash panel.
– Never rest your feet on a cushion or backrest.
– Do not move in foot space.
– Do not sit on the armrests of the front and rear
seats.
– Never move in a seat without wearing a seat
belt.
– Do not carry people in luggage.
WARNING
In the event of an accident or rapid acceleration
or emergency braking, the above incorrect pos-
ture greatly increases the risk of serious injury
or death!
● All occupants of the vehicle must maintain a
correct seated position and fasten their seat
belts while driving.
● Improper sitting position, not wearing seat
belts, or being too close to the installation
position of the airbag will put the driver and
passenger in the car in a dangerous situation,
prone to serious injury or death in the event
of an accident, especially when the airbag
triggers impact on the occupant with incor-
rect sitting position, the injury will be more
serious.
Correct sitting position
Please refer to
at the start of the chapter
