General information
Always make sure that safety belts are be-
ing worn by all occupants before driving off.
Although airbags enhance safety by provid-
ing added protection, they are not a substi-
tute for safety belts.
The upper shoulder strap's anchorage point
will be correct for adult seat occupants of
every build if the seat is correctly adjusted.
Safety information
Warning
Use of a safety belt to buckle more than
one person will potentially defeat the abil-
ity of the safety belt to serve its protective
function. There is a risk of injuries or dan-
ger to life. Do not allow more than one per-
son to wear a single safety belt. Infants
and children are not allowed on an occu-
pant's lap, but must be transported and se-
cured in designated child restraint sys-
tems.
Warning
The efficacy of safety gear, including
safety belts, can be limited or lost when
safety belts are fastened incorrectly. An
incorrectly fastened safety belt can cause
additional injuries, for instance in the
event of an accident or during braking and
evasive maneuvers. There is a risk of inju-
ries or danger to life. Make sure that all
occupants are wearing safety belts cor-
rectly.
Warning
The efficacy of safety gear, including
safety belts, may not be fully functional or
fail in the following situations:
– The safety belts or safety belt buckles
are damaged, soiled, or changed in
any other way.
– Belt tensioners or belt retractors
were modified.
Safety belts can be imperceptibly damaged
in the event of an accident. There is a risk
of injuries or danger to life. Do not modify
safety belts, safety belt buckles, belt ten-
sioners, belt retractors or belt anchors and
keep them clean. Have the safety belts
checked after an accident at the dealer’s
service center or another qualified service
center or repair shop.
Correct use of safety belts
– Wear the safety belt twist-free and tight
to your body over your lap and should-
ers.
– Wear the safety belt deep on your hips
over your lap. The safety belt may not
press on your stomach.
– Do not rub the safety belt against sharp
edges, or guide it or jam it in across
hard or fragile objects.
– Avoid thick clothing.
– Re-tighten the safety belt frequently up-
ward around your upper body.
Buckling the safety belt
1. Guide the safety belt slowly over
shoulder and hip to put it on.
