SEAT BELTS

Always wear your seat belt when
travelling in your vehicle. You must
also comply with the legislation of
the particular country you are in.
Before driving off:

position is correctly adjusted,
- then adjust your seat belt to
provide maximum protection.
Incorrectly adjusted seat
belts may cause injuries
in the event
accident.
Even pregnant women must
wear a seat belt. In this case,
ensure that the lap belt is not
exerting too much pressure on
the abdomen but do not allow
any slack.
