3. Pull on the belt to check for correct
latching and ensure that the belt fits
firmly against the body with all the
slack taken up by the reel.
The belt should be worn low across
the front of the pelvis (not over the
abdomen) and across the chest and
shoulder.
WARNING: Ensure that no part of
the belt is twisted or is entangled
in the door or seat mechanism.
WARNING: Never use one belt
around two people or allow a child
to be carried on a driver’s or pas-
senger’s lap.
WARNING: Do not clip or hook the
seatbelt to hooks or other interior
fittings, as this will prevent the belt
from tightening properly.
WARNING: Improperly positioning
the seat belts can cause serious
injury or death in a crash.
Releasing
Press the red button on the belt buckle,
then let the belt retract.
If the belt does not fully retract, feed it
back into the reel by hand so that it is
not loose.
Fitting During Pregnancy
Pregnant drivers should always wear
seat belts to protect both themselves
and their unborn child.
The diagonal section of the belt should
wrap over the shoulder and then be
routed between the breasts and to the
side of the abdomen.
The lap belt portion of the belt should
be kept as low as possible under the
abdomen and it must not be allowed
to ride upward. Remove any slack from
the reel, ensuring it fits as close to the
body as possible.
Pregnant drivers must adjust the
seat and steering wheel positions to
maintain the largest distance possible
