if the belt is pulled out rapidly
during braking and acceleration
if the vehicle is leaning excessively
when driving in turns
For the seat belt to provide maximum protection in the event of an accident, it must be worn
correctly. When wearing the seat belt remember:
The belt should not be twisted or turned.
