Fixed Rear Centre Lap Seat Belt
When buckling, make sure you hear a
click confirming that the tab is latched into
the seat belt lock. To tighten it, pull the
loose end through the buckle until the seat
belt is comfortably adjusted around the
pelvic bone (hips).
Seat Belts with Pre - Tensioner (if
equipped)
You can use pre-tensioner seat belts in the
same manner as ordinary seat belts.
The seat belt pre-tensioner system works
in conjunction with the SUPPLEMENTARY
RESTRAINTS SYSTEM (SRS-Airbags).
In the event of a collision, as may be nec-
essary, pre-tensioner tightens the seat belt
so that it fits the occupant’s body more
snugly. When pre-tensioner activates,
there could be some noise and release of
smoke. This is normal and there are no
health hazards or fire risk.
If the vehicle has been involved in a colli-
sion, get it inspected immediately at au-
thorized TATA MOTORS SERVICE
Center.
WARNING
Each seating position and seat belt •
assembly must be used by one oc-
cupant. It is not recommended to
put a seat belt around a child, being
carried on an occupant’s lap.
Be careful not to damage or tamper •
the seat belt webbing or hardware.
Inspect the seat belt system period-
ically, checking for cuts, frays, or
loose parts. A frayed or torn seat
belt could rip apart in a collision and
leave you with no protection.
If the seat belt webbing or hardware •
is damaged, get it replaced immedi-
ately at TATA Motors Authorized
service centre.
Do not insert any items such as •
coins, clips, etc. into the seat belt
buckles, and be careful not to spill
liquids into these parts. If foreign
materials get into a seat belt buckle,
the seat belt will not work properly.
Do not wear seat belts over hard, •
sharp or fragile items in clothing,
such as pens, keys, spectacles etc.
Do not use any accessories on seat •
belts or modify in any way the seat
belt system. Devices claiming to im-
prove occupant comfort or reposi-
tioning the seat belt, can reduce the
protection provided by the seat belt
and increase the chance of serious
injury in a collision.
WARNING
In a collision, the pre-tensioner seat belt
assembly mechanisms become hot dur-
ing activation. Do not touch the pre-ten-
sioner seat belt assemblies for several
minutes after they have been activated.
