1–34 BEFORE DRIVING YOUR CAR
WARNING
• It is essential to replace the entire
assembly after it has been worn in
a severe impact even if damage to
the assembly is not obvious.
• Belts should not be worn with
straps twisted.
• Each belt assembly must only be
used by one occupant; it is danger-
ous to put a belt around a child
being carried on the occupant’s
lap.
THREE POINT SEAT BELT
Each Ssangyong vehicle is equipped with
three point seat belts(except rear center
seat) with automatic retractors, allowing
freedom of body movement when driving at
even, constant speeds, although the spring-
tensional belts are always fitted snugly.
The belt has a “vehicle sensitive retractor”
which is designed to lock during heavy ac-
celeration or deceleration.
Do not attempt to test the locking device by
intentionally “shooting” your upper torso in
the forward direction.
This type of belt requires no length adjustment.
Once worn, the belt adjusts itself to the move-
ment of wearer, but in the event of a sudden
or strong shock, the belt automatically locks
to restrain the wearer’s body.
WARNING
“No modifictions or additions should
be made by the user which will either
prevent the seat belt adjusting de-
vices from operating to remove slack,
or prevent the seat belt assembly from
being adjusted to remove slack.”
WARNING
• Seatbelts are designed to bear
upon the bony structure of the
body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis or the
pelvis, chest and shoulders, as
applicable; wearing the lap sec-
tion of the belt across the abdomi-
nal area must be avoided.
• Seatbelts should be adjusted as
firmly as possible, consistent with
comfort, to provide the protection
for which they have been designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
• Care should be taken to avoid
contamination of the webbing with
polishes, oils and chemicals, and
particularly battery acid. Clean-
ing may safely be carried out us-
ing mild soap and water. The belt
should be replaced if webbing be-
comes frayed, contaminated or
damaged.
