elts are self-adjusting. When attaching the seat belt, ensure that you are leaning back against the seat. The
chest strap should be as close as possible, without restricting the neck. The abdominal strap should be placed flat
against the thighs and abdomen.
See Figure 3.3.3. To fasten the seat belt, pull out the belt slowly and without pause, push buckle into lock (C) until
you hear a light click. If the belt binds when pulling it out, release the belt and pull out again.
To unfasten the seat belt, push on the red button (D) and release the buckle from the lock.
When the belt is not in use, the belt buckle must be positioned near the wall mounting clip (E) with the adjustable clip
(F). When leaving the vehicle, make sure belt is in proper position to avoid belt jamming in the door.
