Sitting correctly and safely
chest, and never under the arm, behind the
back, or across the neck or face.
~The lap portion of the safety belt must lie
across the lap and never over the stomach.
~The safety belt must lie flat and securely on
the upper part of the body and the lap.
~The belt webbing must not be pinched or
twisted, or rub against sharp edges.
~ If the safety belt height is set incorrectly
and/or the safety belt is routed incorrectly,
then the safety belt's protective function
will be impaired in the event of an accident.
Make sure the safety belt is at the right
height and is routed correctly for the person
in the vehicle who is using it.
—Asafety belt that is too loose may lead to in-
juries during an accident, because your body
will move farther forward due to kinetic en-
ergy and will be stopped abruptly by the
belt.
— Heavily bulky, loose clothing (for example, a
coat over a sports jacket) may prevent the
seat and safety belts from functioning cor-
rectly.
~Do not position the safety belt over hard or
breakable objects (such as glasses, pens,
etc).
~The lap belt portion of the safety belt must
sit as low as possible on the lap of pregnant
women and lie flat under the belly.
Make sure that there are no hook-and-loop
fasteners or sharp objects such as zippers or
rivets on clothing in the area where the safety
belt is worn. Otherwise, the safety belt could
be damaged.
Belt positioner
Applies to: vehicles with belt positioners
Fig. 78 Driver's seat: belt positioner
Belt positioners make it easier to fasten the safe-
ty belts on the front seats.
The belt positioner extends automatically when
you close the door and switch the ignition on.
The belt positioner retracts automatically again
when the belt tongue locks into the belt latch, if
the safety belt is not fastened, if you switch the
ignition off, or if you open the door.
The belt positioners can cause injury or dam-
age if they pinch people or objects when ex-
tending or retracting.
