WARNING
Wearing seat belts improperly or not at all in-
creases the risk of death and injury. Only proper
wearing and use of the seat belt can give full
play to its protective effect.
● Safety belts are the most effective means to
reduce the fatality rate in an accident. There-
fore, in order to protect the driver and all oc-
cupants of the vehicle, all drivers and pas-
sengers must wear safety belts correctly
when the vehicle is in motion.
● All drivers and passengers must be seated
properly, fasten their seat belts and wear
their seat belts at all times, even when trav-
elling in urban areas.
● When travelling with children, place them
with proper protective systems for their
weight and height, and fasten their seat
belts
page 43.
● All occupants of the car should fasten their
seat belts before starting to drive.
● The seat belt latch must be inserted into the
respective seat latch and secured. If the latch
of the seat belt is inserted into the latch of
the seat of other occupants, the protective
effect of the seat belt will be greatly re-
duced, and it is very easy to be seriously in-
jured in the event of an accident.
● Do not allow foreign matter or liquid to enter
the latch of the seat belt latch. Otherwise,
the latch and seat belt will not function
properly.
● Never unfasten your seat belt while driving.
● Never share a seat belt with two people!
● No occupant shall hold a child or infant while
the vehicle is moving, and wear a seat belt.
● When wearing a seat belt, remove loose, bul-
ky clothing (e.g., overcoats over coveralls) so
as not to affect the wearing of the seat belt
and its protective effect.
WARNING
Damaged seat belts not only can not play a
protective role, but will affect the protective
function of the seat belt, an accident may
cause injury or even death!
● Be careful not to stick the seat belt in the
door or seat mechanism, otherwise, it will
damage the seat belt.
● If the seat belt base or other parts of the
seat belt are damaged, the seat belt may tear
during an accident or emergency braking.
● Damaged seat belts should be replaced im-
mediately with new seat belts approved by
the company for use on the vehicle. Seat
belts damaged or stretched due to accidents
should be replaced at the qualified workshop
in a timely manner. Seat belts must be re-
placed even if there is no apparent damage
to the surface! At the same time, the seat
belt fastening device should be checked for
damage.
● Do not attempt to repair, modify or remove
your seat belt yourself. All repairs of seat
belts, seat belt winders, and latches/latches
shall be performed by the qualified work-
shop.
