Seats and Restraints
Seat Belt
Seat Belt
The airbag supplementary restraint system
(SRS) is designed to add to the overall
effectiveness of the seat belts. It does not
replace them. SEAT BELTS MUST ALWAYS
BE WORN!
Ensure that all seat belts are worn correctly
- an improperly worn seat belt increases the
risk of death or serious injury in the event of
a collision.
The seat belts fit to your vehicle are intended for use by
adult sized persons. Each belt is intended for one person
only.
IMPORTANT
• DO make sure all passengers are securely strapped
in at all times - even for the shortest journeys.
• ALWAYS adjust seat belts to eliminate any slack in
the webbing. To be fully effective, the seat belt must
remain in full contact with the body at all times.
• ALWAYS fit the lap strap as low on the hips as
possible (never across the abdomen), and ensure
that the diagonal belt passes across the shoulder
without slipping off or pressing on the neck..
• DO NOT wear seat belts over foreign objects in
clothing, especially confections and beverages which
affect the function of buckles.
• During pregnancy, women should wear the lap belt
across the hips below the baby.
