Safety
WARNING
●
The seat belt cannot offer its full protec-
tion unless the seat backrest is in an upright
position and the seat belt is worn correctly,
according to your size.
●
Unbuckling your seat belt while the vehi-
cle is in motion can cause severe or fatal in-
juries in the event of an accident or sudden
braking.
●
The seat belt itself, or a loose seat belt,
can cause severe injuries if the belt moves
from hard areas of the body to soft areas
(e.g. the stomach).

Position of seat belt during pregnancy.
Seat belts offer their maximum protection in
the e
v
ent of an accident and reduce the risk
of sustaining severe or fatal injuries only
when they are properly positioned. Further-
more, if the webbing is correctly positioned,
the seat belt will hold the vehicle occupants
in the optimum position to ensure the airbag
provides the maximum protection. The seat
belt must therefore always be worn and the
webbing correctly positioned.
Incorrectly worn seat belts can cause severe
or even fatal injuries
