PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNINGS
The wearing of a seatbelt is a
mandatory requirement. Seatbelts
should be properly fastened and
adjusted before the vehicle is driven. Adjust
the driver's seat position before fastening
the seatbelt.
Seatbelts are designed to bear upon
the bony structure of the body and
should be worn low across the front
of the pelvis or the pelvis, chest and
shoulders, as applicable. Wearing the lap
section of the belt across the abdominal
area must be avoided.
Wear a seatbelt and keep sufficient
distance between yourself and the
steering wheel. Only when you use
the seatbelt properly, can it hold you in
position to achieve its optimum effect.
See Sitting in the Correct Position (page
106).
WARNINGS
Never use a seatbelt for more than
one person. It is dangerous to put a
belt around a child being carried on
the occupant's lap.
Use the correct buckle for each
seatbelt.
Do not use a seatbelt that is slack or
twisted.
Do not wear thick clothing. The
seatbelt must fit tightly around your
body to achieve its optimum effect.
Position the shoulder strap of the
seatbelt over the centre of your
shoulder and position the lap strap
tightly across your hips.
WARNINGS
Care should be taken to avoid
contamination of the webbing with
polishes, oils and chemicals, and
particularly battery acid. Cleaning may
safely be carried out using mild soap and
water. The belt should be replaced if the
webbing becomes frayed, contaminated
or damaged.
No modifications or additions should
be made by the user which will either
prevent the seatbelt adjusting
devices from operating to remove slack,
or prevent the seatbelt assembly from
being adjusted to remove slack.
Seatbelts are designed to be used
by adult sized occupants.
The driver and front passenger seatbelt
systems are fitted with a seatbelt
pretensioner. Seatbelt pretensioners have
a lower deployment threshold than the
airbags. During minor collisions, it is
possible that only the seatbelt
pretensioners will deploy.
Status after a collision
WARNINGS
Seatbelts subjected to strain, as a
result of an accident, should be
renewed and the anchorages
checked by a properly trained technician.
If a seatbelt pretensioner has been
deployed, the seatbelt must be
renewed.
