Fastening a three-point belt:
1. Sit in an upright position and lean on the
backrest.
2. Pull the three-point belt slowly out of the
retractor mechanism using the lock tongue
and guide the three-point belt across the
shoulder and hips as illustrated.
3. Push the lock tongue into the lock until you
hear and feel it click into position.
4. Pull the three-point belt taut and place the
lower part of the three-point belt down over
the hips.
• Belts always have to be taut and close
to the body.
• Belts should not be twisted when
fastened.
• Always place the shoulder belt (in
three-point belts) diagonally across
the shoulder and chest. Never place
the belt behind your back or under
your arm.
• Place the lap belt as low and tight as
possible around your hips and never
around your waist.
• Children up to the age of 12, who are
smaller than 150 cm, can only ride in
the vehicle if the appropriate children's
car seats are used. Please adhere to
the legal stipulations as well as the
installation and operating instructions
issued by the car seat manufacturer.
• Each belt can only be used by a single
person. Children should never be
allowed to sit on the lap of another
passenger and buckled in with the
same belt.
• After each collision, all belts including
the retractor mechanisms and the
accompanying installation parts have
to be inspected by an authorized
specialist repair shop and replaced if
necessary.
