Twisted seat belt
If it is difficult to remove the seat belt from the belt guide, the seat belt may have become
twisted if it was returned too quickly into the side trim:
—Take hold of the latch plate then slowly and carefully pull out the seat belt.
—Untwist the seat belt and guide it back slowly by hand.
Fasten the seat belt even if you are unable to undo the twist. However, the twist should not be in
part of the seat belt that comes into direct contact with the body. The twist should be corrected
immediately by a qualified workshop.
WARNING
Using seat belts incorrectly increases the risk of severe or fatal injuries.
