In addition, an incorrectly fastened seat belt
can also cause injuries, for example, in the
event of an accident or when braking or
changing direction suddenly.
#
Always ensure that all vehicle occupants
have their seat belts fastened correctly
and are sitting properly.
Always observe the instructions about the correct
driver's seat position and adjusting the seat
(

In order for the correctly worn seat belt to provide
the intended level of protection, each vehicle
occupant must observe the following information:

tightly and snugly across the body.
R
The seat belt must be routed across the
centre of the shoulder and as low down across
the hips as possible.

not touch your neck nor be routed under your
arm or behind your back.
R
Avoid wearing bulky clothing, e.g. a winter
coat.
R
Push the lap belt down as far as possible
across your hips and pull tight with the shoul-
der section of the belt. Never route the lap
belt across your abdomen.
Pregnant women must also take particular
care with this.

ted, abrasive or fragile objects.

Only one person should use each seat belt at
any one time.
R
Never secure objects with a seat belt if the
seat belt is also being used by one of the vehi-
cle's occupants.

are ever placed between a person and the
seat.
If children are travelling in the vehicle, be sure to
observe the instructions and safety notes on
"Children in the vehicle" (

vehicle when securing objects, luggage or loads
