Operating the seat belts

Fitting seat belts
Pull seat belt out of retractor and guide
across the body, making certain that it is
not twisted.
Insert the latch plate into the buckle. The
front seat backrest must not be tilted back
too far or the seat belt will not operate
properly. The recommended angle of
inclination is 25°. Make sure that the lap
belt is not twisted and that it fits snugly
across the body. Tension the belt
frequently while driving by tugging the
diagonal part of the belt.

Warning
On pregnant women in particular, the lap
belt must be positioned as low as
possible across the pelvis so as not to put
too much pressure on the abdomen.
Loose clothing affects the snug fit of the
seat belt. The seat belt must not be routed
over hard or breakable objects in the
pockets of your clothing (e.g. ballpoint
pens, keys, glasses) because this can cause
injuries. Do not place objects (e.g.
handbags, mobile phones) between the
seat belt and your body.

1. Pull out seat belt a little way.
