Reduced protection
&
WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
incorrect seat position
The seat belt does not offer the intended
level of protection if you have not moved the
seat backrest to an almost vertical position.
When braking or in the event of an accident,
you could slide underneath the seat belt and
sustain abdominal or neck injuries, for exam‐
ple.
#
Adjust the seat properly before begin‐
ning your journey.
#
Always ensure that the seat backrest is
in an almost vertical position and that
the shoulder section of your seat belt is
routed across the centre of your shoul‐
der.
&
WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
an extended seat belt extender while the
vehicle is in motion
If the seat belt extender is extended while
the vehicle is in motion, the seat belt will not
fit correctly against the body.
The seat belt may not then provide the
proper protection.
#
Always ensure that the seat belt
extender is retracted while the vehicle
is in motion.
If the seat belt extender does not retract auto‐
matically, it can be retracted manually. To do so,
press the seat belt extender back as far as it will
go before starting the vehicle. Pressing the seat
belt extender back into place requires force.
