Examples of an incorrect seated position
ä
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 77.
Seat belts offer their optimum protection only if the webbing of the seat belts is
properly routed. Incorrect seated positions considerably reduce the protective
functions of the seat belts and therefore increase the risk of injury due to an in-
correct routing of the seat belt. The driver is fully responsible for himself and pas-
sengers, especially children. Never allow a passenger to adopt an incorrect seated

position when the car is moving.
The following list contains examples of which seated positions can cause serious
injuries or death. This list is not complete, however we would like you to familiar-
ise yourself with this subject.
Therefore, while the car is moving never:
›
stand up in the vehicle;
›
stand up on the seats;
›
kneel on the seats;
›
tilt the seat backrest fully to the back;
›
lean against the dash panel;
›
lie on the rear seat bench;
›
only sit on the front area of the seat;
›
sit to the side;
