WARNINGS FOR SEAT BELT

WARNINGS FOR SEAT BELT
• Always put on your shoulder belt over the shoulder and
across the chest. Do not put the shoulder belt across
your neck.
• Put the lap belt as low as possible across the hips. Do
not put it across the waist. In an accident, the belt may
pressurize on your abdomen.
• Do not wear the shoulder belt under the arm. It increases
the danger of sliding out of the belt and can cause seri-
ous injury or even death. The belt may also tighten the
chest which is not as strong as the shoulders. This may
also result serious internal injuries.
• Do not lock the seat belt with a clip or a clamp. If the
seat belt is too loose, it may not protect your body from
injury or death in an accident.
• Before driving, all occupants should wear the seat belts,
If not, occupants could be seriously injured in collisions
or sudden maneuvers. In many countries, there are regu-
lations regarding the use of the seat belts. Please ob-
serve local laws and regulations.
• Do not use the seat belt for more than one person at a
time.
• Do not wear the seat belt over any hard or breakable ob-
jects in pockets or on clothes.
• Infants and small children must be restrained in a child
restraint system. Note that the three point seat belt is
designed for a person who is taller than 140 cm.

SEAT BELT AND AIR BAG
• Periodically check that the seat belt and its component
work properly. Damaged seat belt can cause serious
injuries. Repair or replace the damaged seat belt im-
mediately at Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized
Service Operation.
• The warning light comes on whenever the ignition is switched
on. The light goes out when the driver's seat belt is securely
fastened. If the light does not go off after fastening the seat
belt, it means that there is a malfunction in the system.
Have the seat belt system checked by a Ssangyong Dealer
or Ssangyong Authorized Service Operation.
• Additional device or accessory on the seat belt may re-
sult in improper operation. Do not add any adjusting de-
vices which restrict the seat belt operation.
• Periodically inspect all parts of the belt and have the dam-
aged parts replaced. The belt that has been over-
stretched in an accident must be replaced with new one.
Ssangyong recommends replacing all component parts
of the seat belt after a collision. No replacement is re-
quired after a minor collision if a Ssangyong Dealer or
Ssangyong Authorized Service Operation finds that no
damage has occurred and and everything is in proper
working order. The seat belts components that were not
used during a collision must also be inspected and re-
placed if they show signs of damage or faulty operation.
• Replace the entire seat belt assembly after a severe im-
pact even if the damage is not obvious.
