GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USING
THE SEAT BELTS
The driver must comply with (and have
the vehicle occupants follow) all the lo-
cal legal regulations concerning the use
of seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before start-
ing.
Seat belts are also to be worn by ex-
pectant mothers: the risk of injury in the
case of accident is greatly reduced for
them and the unborn child if they are
wearing a seat belt. Of course they must
position the lower part of the belt very
low down so that it passes under the ab-
domen fig. 5.

IMPORTANT The belt should not be
twisted. The upper part should pass over
the shoulder and cross the chest diago-
nally. The lower part should adhere to
the pelvis fig. 6 and not the abdomen
of the passenger. Do not use any objects
(pegs, stoppers, etc.) to keep the belts
away from the body.
WARNING
For maximum protec-
tion keep the back of
your seat upright, lean back in-
to it and make sure the seat
belt fits closely across your
chest and hips. Make sure that
the seat belts of the front and
A0E0103m
rear passengers are fastened
at all times! You increase the
risk of serious injury or death
in a collision if you travel with
the belts unfastened.
