Seat belts
Introduction
Check the condition of all seat belts regu-
larly. If the belt webbing, belt connections,
belt retractor or seat belt buckle become
damaged, have the seat belt in question re-
placed immediately by a correspondingly
qualified
workshop
→
. The
qualified
workshop must use correct spare parts
that are compatible with the vehicle, equip-
ment level and model year.
WARNING
Incorrectly fastened or unfastened seat
belts can increase the risk of severe or fa-
tal injuries.
·
Before every trip, each vehicle occupant
must adopt the correct sitting position,
correctly fasten the seat belt belonging
to their seat and keep it fastened prop-
erly throughout the trip.
·
Before every journey and while the vehi-
cle is in motion, secure all children trav-
elling in the vehicle in a restraint system
suitable for their weight and height.
They must also wear correctly fastened
seat belts

·
Insert the latch plate only into the belt
buckle of the corresponding seat and
make sure that the latch plate engages
securely. Using a buckle that does not
belong to the seat that you are occupy-
ing reduces the level of protection and
can lead to severe injuries.
·
Never unfasten the seat belt while the
vehicle is in motion.
·
Never allow more than one person to
share the same seat belt.
·
Never transport children or babies on
your lap and never secure them togeth-
er with a person.
·
Never travel wearing loose, bulky cloth-
ing (such as an overcoat over a jacket).
This could prevent the seat belts from
fitting
and functioning properly.
WARNING
Damaged seat belts increase the risk of
serious or fatal injuries. If the belt webbing
or any other part of the seat belt becomes
damaged, the seat belt may tear during
an accident or sudden braking manoeu-
vre.
·
Never damage the belt by trapping it in
the door or in the seat mechanism.
·
If the belt webbing, belt connections,
belt retractor or seat belt buckle be-
come damaged, have the seat belt or
belt attachment element in question
replaced immediately by a correspond-
ingly
qualified
workshop. The corre-
spondingly
qualified
workshop must
use correct replacement parts that are
