GETTING STARTED
SEAT BELTS
• Each belt assembly must only be
used by one occupant. It is
dangerous to put a belt around a
child being carried on the
occupant’s lap.
• A belt that is buckled into the wrong
buckle will not protect you properly.
Always buckle your belt into the
buckle nearest you.
• A belt that is too loose will not protect
you as well. In a sudden stop, you
could move too far forward,
increasing the possibility of injury.
• A belt that is worn under your arm
is very dangerous. Your body could
strike the inside surfaces of the
vehicle in a collision. Wear the belt
over your shoulder.
• Be sure the belt is straight. If you
can’t straighten a belt, take it to your
nearest TATA authorized dealer.
• A frayed or torn belt could rip apart
in a collision and leave you with no
protection. Inspect the belt system
periodically, checking for cuts,
frays, or loose parts.Do not
disassemble or modify the system.
• If possible, use the seat belts to
secure heavy luggage that are to
be carried on the seats.
• Do not wear seat belts over hard,
sharp or fragile items in clothing,
such as pens, keys, spectacles etc.
• Care should be taken to avoid
contamination of the webbing with
polishes, oils and chemicals
especially battery acid. Cleaning
may safely be carried out using
mild soap and water.
