WARNINGS
Wear a seat belt and keep sufficient
distance between yourself and the
steering wheel. Only when you use
the seat belt properly, it can hold you in a
position to achieve its optimum effect.
The wearing of seat belts is required
by law, even when airbags are fitted.
Never use a seat belt for more than
one person.
Use the correct buckle for each seat
belt.
Do not use a seat belt that is slack
or twisted.
Do not wear thick clothing. The seat
belt must fit tightly around your body
to achieve its optimum effect.
Position the shoulder strap of the
seat belt over the centre of your
shoulder and position the lap strap
tightly across your hips.

or rear impact collisions,
• reduce the risk of harm in frontal
collisions that are not severe enough
to activate the airbags,
• reduce the risk of being thrown from
your vehicle.
