Seat Belts SEAT BELT SAFETY
The seat belts fitted to your vehicle are intended for use by adult
sized occupants. Each belt should be used by one occupant only.
Observe the following precautions:
•
DO make sure ALL passengers are securely strapped in at all
times - even for the shortest journeys.
•
ALWAYS adjust seat belts to eliminate any slack in the
webbing. DO NOT slacken the webbing by holding the belt
away from the body - to be fully effective, the seat belt must
remain in full contact with the body at all times.
•
ALWAYS fit the lap strap as low on the hips as possible (never
across the abdomen), and ensure that the diagonal belt passes
across the shoulder without slipping off or pressing on the neck.
•
DO NOT wear seat belts over hard, sharp or fragile items in
clothing, such as pens, keys, spectacles etc.
•
Always replace a seat belt assembly that has withstood the strain
of a severe vehicle impact, or if the webbing shows signs of
fraying.
•
Where possible use the seat belts to secure large items of
luggage that are to be carried on the seats - in the event of an
accident, unsecured items become flying missiles capable of
causing serious injury.
•
DO NOT use a seat belt that is twisted or obstructed in any
way that could impede its smooth operation.
•
DO NOT allow front seat occupants to travel with the seat
backs reclined steeply rearwards. Optimum benefit is obtained
from the seat belt with the seat back angle set to approximately
25° from the upright (vertical) position.
•
DO NOT allow foreign matter (particularly sugary food and
drink particles) to enter the seat belt locks - such substances can
render the locks inoperative.
•
In most countries, all occupants are required by law to wear a
seat belt, unless they have been issued with a medical
exemption certificate.
•
During pregnancy, women should wear the lap belt across the
hips below the baby, with the diagonal belt passing across the
shoulder, between the breasts and to one side of the baby - if in
doubt, consult a doctor.
The airbag supplementary restraint system (SRS) is designed
to add to the overall effectiveness of the seat belts. It does not
replace them. SEAT BELTS MUST ALWAYS BE WORN!
