Safety belts
General information
Each seat is equipped with a three-point safety
belt. Safety belts that are worn correctly are the
most effective way to reduce the risk of serious or
fatal injuries in a collision. Therefore, wear your
safety belt correctly and make sure that all vehi-
cle passengers are also wearing their safety belts
correctly when the vehicle is moving.
Even though your vehicle is equipped with an air-
bag system, every vehicle passenger must still al-
ways wear the appropriate safety belt. In addition
to their normal protective function, safety belts
also hold vehicle occupants in the correct seating
position in the event of a collision so that the air-
bags can deploy correctly and provide additional
protection. Safety belts provide protection during
collisions when the airbags do not deploy or if
they have already deployed.
The risk of serious or fatal injury increases if
the safety belt is not fastened, if it is worn in-
correctly, or if it is damaged.
~All
vehicle
occupants,
including
the
driver,
must fasten their safety belts correctly be-
fore every trip and must always keep their
safety belts fastened during the trip, re-
gardless of whether the seat is equipped
with an airbag or not. This also applies to
