GETTING STARTED
SEAT BELTS
SEAT BELTS :
Occupants safety is of utmost
importance.
Your car is equipped with seat belts,
both front and rear as a part of
occupant restraint system.
Why Seat Belts
Wearing seat belts properly can
protect you from being thrown
against the inside of the car or
against other occupants in case of
an accident or sudden braking. It
will reduce the chances of severe
injury.
How to use seat belts
This car has three point type front
seat belts and lap belts for rear seat
out board occupants (LH & RH).In
normal driving, the belt lets you
move freely in your seat. In case of
an accident or sudden braking,
inertia reel automatically tightens the
belt to help restrain your body.
The anchor end of the shoulder belt
is adjustable to suit the height of the
passenger wearing it. The lap belt
has one manually adjusted belt that
fits across the hip bone.
Make sure that your seat is adjusted
to a good driving position and the
back of the seat is upright.
1. Pull the tongue across your body
and insert it into the buckle.

WARNING
Twisted seat belts can cause
injury in a collision as the full width
of the belt isn’t available to absorb
the impact. This puts more force
on the bones beneath the belt,
which could break them or cause
other serious injury. Don’t wear
twisted seat belts.
3. Position the lap portion of the belt
as low as possible across your
hip bone.
4. Pull up the shoulder part of the
belt to remove the slack. Make
sure that the belt goes over your
collar bones and across chest.
5. To unlatch the belt, press the red
button on the buckle. Guide the
belt to the pillar as it retracts.
WARNING
Improper positioning of the
shoulder portion of the seat belt
is dangerous. An improperly
positioned belt will provide little
or no protection in a collision.
