SEAT BELTS (7/7)

The following information applies to the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts.

- No modification may be made to the component parts of the originally fitted restraint system: seat belts, seats and

their mountings. For special operations (e.g. fitting child seats), contact an authorised dealer.

- Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too

loosely may cause injury in the event of an accident.

- Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.

- Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your lap with your seat belt around

them.

- The belt should never be twisted.

- Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if necessary. Always replace your seat belts as soon as

they show any signs of wear.

- When the rear bench seat is being put back, make sure that the seat belts and buckles are correctly positioned so that they

can be used properly.

- Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.

- Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch as they could prevent it from being properly secured.

- Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be hidden away, crushed or flattened by people or ob-

jects).
