Overview

General information

Always make sure that safety belts are being

worn by all occupants before driving off. Al‐

though airbags enhance safety by providing

added protection, they are not a substitute for

safety belts.

The upper shoulder strap's anchorage point will

be correct for adult seat occupants of every build

if the seat is correctly adjusted.

gle safety belt. Infants and children are not al‐

lowed on an occupant's lap, but must be trans‐

ported and secured in designated child

restraint systems.
