16 Safety
Safety belt, rear seat
Three-point safety belts are provided for all
three rear-seat passengers.
Fasten the belt by pulling out the strap care-
fully and inserting the tongue in the lock.
Check that it is securely fastened.
Then grip the diagonal part of the strap near
the lock and pull the belt upwards towards
the shoulder to tighten the lap strap. The lap
strap should lie low over the hips.
The diagonal part should lie as far in on the
shoulder as possible.
To release the belt, press the red button on
the belt lock.
See page 231 for the checking of belt func-
tion, cleaning, etc.
WARNING
• Make sure that the belt does not
become trapped when the backrest is
folded down or raised (see page 134).
• If a cargo has to be placed on a seat,
it must be properly secured with the
safety belt. This reduces the risk of
the cargo being thrown about during
hard braking or a possible collision,
which could cause personal injury.
• Check that the belt is not twisted or
lying against sharp edges.
