36 Seats, restraints
Each belt assembly must only
be used by one occupant; it is
dangerous to put a belt around
a child being carried on the
occupant’s lap.
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.
Seat belts
How to wear
seat belts properly
Warning
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.
Seat belts should be adjusted as
firmly as possible, consistent with
comfort, to provide the protection
for which they have been
designed. A slack belt will greatly
reduce the protection afforded to
the occupant.
Belts should not be worn with
straps twisted.
To unfold the seatbacks:
1. Lift the seatback and push it to
it’s original position.
2. Ensure the seatback is securely
latched by pulling it forwards and
backwards.
