Correct belt webbing arrangement
The webbing arrange-
ment is extremely impor-
tant for the seatbelts to
oer the best possible
protection.
▶
The shoulder belt part
must run over the mid-
dle of the shoulder and
rest firmly on the body.
▶
The lap belt part must
be placed in front of the pelvis and fit tightly.
▶
In pregnant women, the lap belt part must be as
low as possible on the pelvis, so that no pressure is
exercised on the abdomen.
▶
The webbing must not be pinched or twisted and
rub against sharp edges.
▶
The tongue may only be inserted into the buckle of
the associated seat.
▶
The webbing must be tight. Therefore, do not at-
tach clamps or similar items to the webbing for ad-
justing the seatbelt according to body size.
Correct steering wheel position
▶
Hold the steering
wheel with both hands
on the outer edge in
the "9 o'clock" and "3
o'clock" position. Oth-
erwise, you may expe-
rience serious injury to
the arms, hands and
head when deploying
the airbag.
Be mindful of the eect of the airbag system
Airbag systems can only properly protect if all occu-
pants have been secured and they are in the correct
seating position.
No persons, animals or objects such as cup holders
may be in the deployment area of the air-
bags » page 36.
▶
Do not cover or stick anything over the steering
wheel or the dash panel. The front airbags were
not able to deploy.
The front passenger airbag should be switched o in
some situations » page 37.
Securing children properly
▶
Do not carry a child on your lap, and secure the
child and yourself with a seatbelt.
▶
Only transport children in a suitable child
seat » page 34.
Children under 150 cm tall will not be properly pro-
tected without a child seat. Children that have been
inadequately secured can be thrown through the ve-
hicle in the event of an accident or a sudden ma-
noeuvre. You can cause life-threatening injuries to
yourself and other occupants.
If children lean forward or assume a wrong sitting
position while driving, they are more likely to be in-
jured in the event of an accident. This is especially
true for children who are carried in the passenger
seat - when the airbag system triggers, they can be
seriously injured or killed!
A child that has been incorrectly secured in the
wrong sitting position - endangered by the side
airbag
The child should not be
in the deployment area
of the side airbag.
