4.5 Brakes
Have defects on the braking system immediately remedied by an au-
thorised specialist workshop.
Before each journey, check by means of a braking test:
Do the brakes function?
Do the brakes react evenly?
Does the vehicle remain in the lane when braking?
4.6 Seat
belts
4.6.1 General
The vehicle is equipped with seat belts in the living area on the seats for
which seat belts are compulsory by law. National regulations apply to fasten-
ing of seat belts.
Fasten your seat belts before the beginning of the journey and keep
them fastened during the journey.
Do not damage or trap belts. Have damaged seat belts changed by an
authorised specialist workshop.
Do not alter the belt fixing devices, automatic seat belt winders and
the seatbelt locks.
Only use one seat belt for
one
adult person.
Do not belt in objects together with persons.
Seat belts are not sufficient for persons who are less than 150 cm tall.
In these cases use additional restraining devices. Observe test certifi-
cate.
Only attach the child restraint system to seats that are specified for
this purpose. We strongly recommend to install child restraint systems
preferably in the second row of seats.
After an accident, replace the seat belts (have it replaced).
During the journey, do not tilt the backrest too far backwards. Other-
wise the functionality of the seat belt is no longer guaranteed.
4.6.2 Fastening the seat belts correctly
Do not twist the belt. The belt must be positioned smoothly against the
body.
When fastening the seat belt, adopt the correct sitting position.
The seat belt is correctly fastened when the lap belt passes below your
stomach and across the hip bone. The shoulder belt must pass across the
chest and shoulder (not across your neck). The belt must always be taut
against your body. Any bulky or padded clothing should therefore be re-
moved before you start your journey.
