Seat Belts SEAT BELT SAFETY
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!
The seat belts fitted to your car are intended for use by adult
sized occupants and must be used by one occupant only.
Ensure that all passengers are correctly strapped in at all times
and be sure to observe the following precautions:
•
DO NOT allow occupants to travel with the seat backs
reclined steeply rearwards. Optimum benefit is obtained
from the seat belt with the backrest angle set to
approximately 25° from the upright (vertical).
•
Adjust seat belts to eliminate any slack. Do not pull the belt
away from the body while travelling - to be fully effective,
the seat belt must remain in full contact with the body at
all times.
•
Fit the lap strap across the PELVIS (never across the
abdomen), ensuring that the diagonal strap passes across
the CHEST and SHOULDER without bearing on the
neck.
•
DO NOT wear seat belts over hard, sharp or fragile items
in clothing, such as pens, keys, spectacles etc.
•
Ensure that seat belts are not twisted or obstructed in any
way.
•
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 luggage carried
on the seats - in an accident, loose items can be thrown
around inside the car, causing serious injury.
•
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.
