WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
incorrectly fastened seat belt
If the seat belt is not worn correctly, it can‐
not perform its intended protective function.
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 occu‐
pants have their seat belts fastened
correctly and are sitting properly.
Always observe the instructions about the cor‐
rect driver's seat position and adjusting the seat
(

vide the intended level of protection, each vehi‐
cle occupant must observe the following infor‐
mation:

fit tightly and snugly across the body.

The seat belt must be routed across the cen‐
ter of the shoulder and as low down across

der section of the belt. Never route the lap
