Rear seat belts 8
The belts are locked, unlocked and
adjusted in the same way as the front
belts.
The following information applies to the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts.
– No modification may be made to the component parts of the originally
fitted restraint system: seat belts, seats and their mountings. For spe-
cial operations (e.g. fitting child seats), contact an authorised dealer.
– Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes
pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too loosely may cause injury in the
event of an accident.
– Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.
– Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or
child on your lap with your seat belt around them.
– The belt should never be twisted.
– Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if necessary.
Always replace your seat belts as soon as they show any signs of wear.
– When positioning the rear bench seat, make sure that the seat belts and buck-
les are correctly positioned so that they can be used properly.
– Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.
– Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch as
they could prevent it from being properly secured.
– Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be hidden
away, crushed or flattened by people or objects).
