Seat Belts
Seat-belt is a safety device designed to
secure the occupant travelling in the ve-
hicle. TATA MOTORS strongly recom-
mends that all the occupants should al-
ways wear seat belts while travelling, ir-
respective of journey duration.
In normal driving, the belt lets you move
freely in your seat. In case of an accident
or sudden braking, inertia reel automati-
cally tightens the belt to help restrain
your body.
Importance of wearing seat belt

Reduces the risk of being thrown in-
side the vehicle in case of a colli-
sion/sudden braking.

It will help to keep you in the proper
position when the air bag inflates.

Reduces the risk of harm in
frontal/angular collisions that are
not enough to activate the air bag.

Reduces the risk of harm in rollover,
side or rear impact collisions.
WARNING

Never wear seat belt over rigid or
breakable objects, such as eye-
glasses, pens, keys etc., as these
might cause injuries.

Make sure the seat belt is always
fitted comfortably.

Place the seat backrest in a posi-
tion that is as upright as possible.
Make sure that the seat belts are
not twisted which can cause in-
jury in a collision as the full width
of the belt isn’t available to ab-
sorb the impact. This could cause
serious injury.

The maximum protection which
seat belts can offer is only
achieved if you are correctly
seated.
NOTE
Do not bleach or dye seat belts as
this may severely weaken them. In a
crash they may not be able to pro-
vide adequate protection. Cleaning
should be carried out using mild soap
and water only.
