When fastening the seat belt, always make
sure that:
R
the seat belt tongue is only inserted to the
belt buckle belonging to that seat.
R
the seat belt is tight across your body.
Avoid wearing bulky clothing, e.g. a winter
coat.
R
the seat belt is not twisted.
Only then can the forces which occur be
distributed over the area of the belt.
R
the shoulder section of the belt is always
routed across the center of your shoulder.
The shoulder section of the belt must not
come into contact with your neck or be
routed under your arm.
R
the lap belt passes tightly and as low down
as possible across your lap.
The lap belt must always be routed across
your hip joints and not across your abdo-
men. This applies particularly to pregnant
women. If necessary, push the lap belt
down to your hip joint and pull it tight using
the shoulder section of the belt.
R
the seat belt is not routed across sharp,
pointed or fragile objects.
If you have such items located on or in your
clothing, e.g. pens, keys or eyeglasses,
store these in a suitable place.
R
only one person is using a seat belt at a
time.
Infants and children must never travel sit-
ting on the lap of a vehicle occupant. In the
event of an accident, they could be crushed
between the vehicle occupant and seat
belt.
R
objects are never secured with a seat belt if
the seat belt is also being used by one of the
vehicle's occupants.
Also ensure that there are never objects
between a person and the seat, e.g. cush-
ions.
Seat belts are only intended to secure and
restrain vehicle occupants. Always observe
the notes in the "Stowage options/compart-
ments" section for securing objects, luggage
or loads (
Y
page 254).
Fastening seat belts
Observe the safety notes on the seat belt
