Seat Belt
This vehicle is equipped with a seat belt
warning lamp to remind you to fasten your seat belt. Refer
to 'Warning Lamps and Indicators' in 'Instruments and
Controls' section for details.
It is important that all seat belts are
worn correctly. Always check that all
passengers are wearing seat belts. DO
NOT carry passengers that are unable
to wear correctly positioned seat belts.
Wearing seat belts incorrectly may cause
serious injury or even death in the event of
a collision.
When the vehicle is moving, seat belts must be fastened
for all occupants because:
•
You can never predict if you will be involved in a collision
accident and how serious it may be.
•
The experience has clearly demonstrated that whether
the occupant is effectively protected has a lot to do
with whether the seat belt is properly worn or not in
many collision accidents! In the event of a collision or
emergency braking, the seat belts will be automatically
tightened. When the seat belt is worn correctly, the
strongest bone in your body will bear the impact force
to reduce your speed together with the vehicle, so as to
prevent the out-of-control movement which may cause
serious injury to driver and occupants.
Seat belts cannot function correctly when
the seats are reclined excessively. DO
NOT drive when the seats are excessively
reclined.
NEVER unfasten a seat belt whilst driving,
serious injury or death may occur in the
event of an accident or emergency braking.
Never fasten the driver seat belt or use a
buckle replacement when the driver seat is
vacant or when exiting the vehicle.
Therefore, all occupants must wear seat belts correctly,
even during short-distance journeys.
