Safety belts

General information

Always make sure that safety belts are being
worn by all occupants before driving away.
Although airbags enhance safety by providing
added protection, they are not a substitute for
safety belts.

Seats with safety belt

The vehicle has four or five* seating positions,
each of which is equipped with a safety belt.

▷

The shoulder strap's anchorage point will be
correct for adult seat occupants of every
build if the seat is correctly adjusted.

▷

The two rear safety belt buckles, integrated
into the rear seat, are for passengers sitting
on the left and right.

▷

The belt buckle embossed with the word
CENTER is intended exclusively for use by
passengers riding in the center position.

One person per safety belt
Never allow more than one person to wear

a single safety belt. Never allow infants or small
children to ride on a passenger's lap.◀

Putting on the belt
Lay the belt, without twisting, snugly

across the lap and shoulders, as close to the
body as possible. Make sure that the belt lies low
around the hips in the lap area and does not
press on the abdomen. Otherwise, the belt can
slip over the hips in the lap area in a frontal im‐
pact and injure the abdomen.
The safety belt must not lie across the neck, rub
on sharp edges, be routed over solid or breaka‐
ble objects, or be pinched.◀

Reduction of restraining effect
Avoid wearing clothing that prevents the

belt from fitting properly, and pull the shoulder
belt periodically to readjust the tension across
your lap; otherwise, the retention effect of the
safety belt may be reduced.◀
