PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNINGS
The wearing of a seat belt is a
mandatory requirement. Seat belts
should be properly fastened and
adjusted before the vehicle is driven. Adjust
the driver's seat position before fastening
the seat belt.
Seat belts 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 seat belt and keep sufficient
distance between yourself and the
steering wheel. Only when you use
the seat belt properly, can it hold you in
position to achieve its optimum effect. See
Sitting in the Correct Position (page
61).
Never use a seat belt 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 seat
belt.
Do not use a seat belt that is slack
or twisted.
Do not wear thick clothing. The seat
belt must fit tightly around your body
to achieve its optimum effect.
Position the shoulder strap of the
seat belt 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 seat belt adjusting
devices from operating to remove slack,
or prevent the seat belt assembly from
being adjusted to remove slack.
The driver and front passenger seat belt
systems are fitted with a seat belt
pretensioner. Seat belt pretensioners have
a lower deployment threshold than the
airbags. During minor collisions, it is
possible that only the seat belt
pretensioners will deploy.
Status after a collision
WARNINGS
Seat belts subjected to strain, as a
result of an accident, should be
renewed and the anchorages
checked by a properly trained technician.
If a seat belt pretensioner has been
deployed, the seat belt must be
renewed.
FASTENING THE SAFETY
BELTS
WARNINGS
Insert the tongue into the buckle until
you hear a distinct click. You have
not fastened the safety belt correctly
if you do not hear a distinct click.
