Advice
The driver must ensure that
passengers use the seat belts correctly
and that they are all fastened before setting
off.
Wherever seated in the vehicle, you must
always fasten the seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles, as
they will not fulfil their role fully.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is reeled in correctly.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly.
While fastening the seat belt ensure that
strap must pass over your chest and top of
your shoulder and not touch your face, neck,
side of your shoulder or pass under your arm.
An accident or sudden stop could damage
the seat belt, please have your seat belts
inspected by authorized dealers after an
accident or sudden stop.
Do not use a damaged seat belt which would
result in serious injury.
Installation
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned on the
shoulder.
In order to be effective, a seat belt:
– must be tightened as close to the body as
possible;
– must be pulled in front of you with a
smooth movement, ensuring that it is not
twisted;
– must only be used to secure one person;
– must not show signs of tearing or fraying;
– must not be changed or modified, in order
to avoid affecting its performance.
Do not wear your seat belt over hard or
breakable objects in your pockets or on your
clothing. If an accident occurs, objects such
as glasses, pens, etc. under the seat belt can
cause injury.
