tion. There is a risk of injury or danger to

life. Do not strap in more than one person

per single seat belt. Infants and children

are not allowed on an occupant's lap, but

If the trip is continued within approx.

Correct use of seat belts

–

Wear the seat belt tight to your body

over your lap and shoulders, without

twisting it.

Warning

Wear the seat belt deep on your hips

over your lap. The seat belt must not

press on your stomach.

The protective effect of safety gear, in-

cluding seat belts, can be limited or lost

when seat belts are fastened incorrectly.

An incorrectly fastened seat belt can cause

additional injuries, for instance in the

event of an accident, braking or evasive

maneuvers. There is a risk of injury or

danger to life. Make sure that all occu-

pants are wearing seat belts correctly.

Do not rub the seat belt against sharp

edges, or guide it or jam it in across

hard or fragile objects.

–

Avoid thick clothing.

Re-tighten the seat belt frequently up-

ward around your upper body area.

Buckling the seat belt

Warning

1. Guide the seat belt slowly over shoulder

and hip to put it on.

With a rear seat backrest that is not

locked, the protective effect of the middle

seat belt is not guaranteed. There is a risk

of injury or danger to life. If you are using

the middle seat belt, lock the wider rear

seat backrest.

2. Insert the buckle tongue into the seat

belt buckle. The seat belt buckle must

engage audibly.

Warning

The protective effect of safety gear, in-

cluding seat belts, may not be fully func-

tional or fail in the following situations:

–

The seat belts or seat belt buckles are

damaged, soiled, or changed in any

other way.

Unbuckling the seat belt

nism were modified.

in the event of an accident. There is a

risk of injury or danger to life. Do not mod-

ify seat belts, seat belt buckles, seat belt

tensioners, roll-up mechanisms, or belt an-

chors and keep them clean. After an acci-

dent, have the seat belts checked by an

authorized service center or another quali-

fied service center or repair shop.

3. Guide the seat belt back into its roll-up

mechanism.
