Putting on and taking off seatbelts
Make sure that all passengers have fastened their seatbelts before starting to drive.
Putting on seatbelts
Pull out the seatbelt slowly and make sure it is not twisted or damaged.
Note
The seatbelt is equipped with an inertia reel that is locked in the following situations:
- if the belt is extended too quickly.
- during braking and acceleration.
- if the car leans heavily.
- when driving in bends.
Lock the belt by inserting the locking tab in the intended buckle.
A loud "click" indicates that the belt has locked.
Warning
Always insert the tongue of the seatbelt into the buckle on the correct side. The seatbelts and buckles would otherwise possibly not function as intended in the event of a collision. There is a risk of serious injury.
In the front seats the seatbelt can be adjusted for height.
Press together the seat mounting and move the seatbelt up or down.
Position the belt as high as possible without it chafing against your throat.
Tension the hip strap over the lap by pulling the diagonal shoulder belt up towards the shoulder.
Warning
Each seatbelt is designed for only one person.
Warning
Remember not to clip or hook the seatbelt to hooks or other interior fittings, as this prevents the belt from tightening properly.
Warning
Do not make any damages on seatbelts nor insert any foreign objects into a buckle. The seatbelts and buckles would then possibly not function as intended in the event of a collision. There is a risk of serous injury.
Taking off seatbelts
Press the red button on the seatbelt buckle and then let the belt retract.
If the seatbelt does not retract fully, feed it in by hand so that it does not hang loose.
