Three Point Seat Belt - SSANGYONG KORANDO 2005 Owner's Manual

1–28 BEFORE DRIVING YOUR CAR
WARNING
• When installing a child restraint
system, follow the instructions pro-
vided by the manufacturer.
• When not in use, keep your child
restraint system secured with a
seat belt or remove it from the
vehicle.
• Do not hold a child while riding
in a vehicle.
• Never let a child stand or kneel on
any seat.
• Do not allow a child in the cargo
areas while the vehicle is moving.
• Children who have outgrown child
restraint systems should sit in the
rear seat and be restrained with
the seat belt.
If child's seating position has a
shoulder belt which is on or very
close to the face or neck, move the
child close to the center of the
vehicle, slightly inboard of the
shoulder belt, or move the child to
a position without a shoulder belt
if possible.

THREE POINT SEAT BELT

Each Ssangyong vehicle is equipped with
three point seat belts with automatic retrac-
tors, allowing freedom of body movement
when driving at even, constant speeds, al-
though the spring-tensional belts are always
fitted snugly.
The belt has a "vehicle sensitive retractor"
which is designed to lock during heavy ac-
celeration or deceleration.
Do not attempt to test the locking device by
intentionally "shooting" your upper torso in
the forward direction.
This type of belt requires no length adjustment.
Once worn, the belt adjusts itself to the move-
ment of wearer, but in the event of a sudden
or strong shock, the belt automatically locks
to restrain the wearer's body.
WARNING
"No modifictions or additions
should be made by the user which
will either prevent the seat belt ad-
justing devices from operating to
remove slack, or prevent the seat belt
assembly from being adjusted to re-
move slack."
WARNING
• Seatbelts are designed to bear
upon the bony structure of the
body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis or the
pelvis, chest and shoulders, as
applicable; wearing the lap sec-
tion of the belt across the abdomi-
nal area must be avoided.
• Seatbelts should be adjusted as
firmly as possible, consistent with
comfort, to provide the protection
for which they have been designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
• Care should be taken to avoid
contamination of the webbing with
polishes, oils and chemicals, and
particularly battery acid. Clean-
ing may safely be carried out us-
ing mild soap and water. The belt
should be replaced if webbing be-
comes frayed, contaminated or
damaged.
