Using the belts
Fitting seat belts
Pull the belt out of the retractor and guide
it across the body, making certain that it is
not twisted.
Insert the la tch plate into the buckle. The
back rest must not be tilted too far back,
since this would affect the opera tion of the
seat b elts; the recommended tilting angle
is app rox. 25°. The lap b elt must lie straight
and fit snug ly against the body. Tighten
the la p belt at frequent intervals whilst
driving by tugging the diagonal pa rt of the
belt.
Bulk y clothing prevents the belt from fitting
prop erly. The belt must not rest against
ha rd or fragile objects in the pockets of
your clothing (e.g. ballpoint pens, keys,
spectacles) because these could cause
injury. Do not place any objec ts (e.g.
ha ndb ags) between the belt a nd your
body.
