Seat belts
This also applies to other vehicle occupants
when driving in t
own.
●
When travelling, children must be secured
in the vehicle with a child restraint system
suitable for their weight and height and with
the seat belts correctly fastened
››› page 64.
●
Instruct your passengers to fasten their
seat belts properly before driving off.
●
Insert the latch plate into the buckle for the
appropriate seat and ensure it is engaged.
Using the latch plate in the buckle of another
seat will not protect you properly and may
cause severe injuries.
●
Do not allow liquids or foreign bodies to en-
ter the buckle fastenings. This could damage
the buckles and seat belts.
●
Never unbuckle your seat belt when the ve-
hicle is moving.
●
Never allow more than one passenger to
share the same seat belt.
●
Never hold children or babies on your lap
sharing the same seat belt.
●
Loose, bulky clothing (such as a jacket) im-
pairs the proper fit and function of the seat
belt.
WARNING
It is extremely dangerous to drive using dam-
aged seat
belts and could result in serious in-
jury or loss of life.
●
Avoid d
amaging the seat belt by jamming it
in the door or the seat mechanism.
●
If the fabric or other parts of the seat belt
are damaged, the seat belts could break in
the event of an accident or sudden braking.
●
Always have damaged seatbelts replaced
immediately by seat belts approved for the
vehicle in question by SEAT. Seat belts which
have been worn in an accident and stretched
must be replaced by a specialised workshop.
Renewal may be necessary even if there is no
apparent damage. The belt anchorage should
also be checked.
●
Never attempt to repair, modify or remove a
seat belt yourself. All repairs to seat belts, re-
tractors and buckles must be carried out by a
specialised workshop.
