SAFETY

4. Tighten the lap section of the seat belt by
pulling the diagonal section upward toward
the shoulder.
The lap section of the belt must be positioned low on the
hips (not pressing against the abdomen)
Make sure that the shoulder belt is rolled up
into its retractor and that the shoulder and
lap belts are taut.
WARNING
Never use a seat belt for more than one
occupant. Never wear the shoulder portion of
the belt under the arm, behind the back or
otherwise out of position. Such use could
cause injury in the event of an accident. As
seat belts lose much of their strength when
exposed to violent stretching, they should be
replaced after any collision, even if they
appear to be undamaged.
Unbuckling the seat belt
To remove the seat belt, press the red section on
the seat belt receptacle. Before exiting the vehi-
cle, check that the seat belt retracts fully after
being unbuckled. If necessary, guide the belt
back into the retractor slot.
