·
Never transport children or b
abies on
your lap and never secure them togeth-
er with a person.
·
Never travel wearing loose, bulky cloth-
ing (such as an overcoat over a jacket).
This could prevent the seat belts from
fitting and functioning properly.
WARNING
Damaged seat belts increase the risk of
serious or fa
tal injuries. If the belt webbing
or any other part of the seat belt becomes
damaged, the seat belt may tear during
an accident or sudden braking manoeu-
vre.
·
Never damage the belt by trapping it in
the door or in the seat mechanism.
·
If the belt webbing, belt connections,
belt retractor or seat belt buckle be-
come damaged, have the seat belt or
belt attachment element in question
replaced immediately by a suitably
qualified workshop. The qualified work-
shop must use correct spare parts that
are compatible with the vehicle, equip-
ment level and model year.
·
Never try to repair, modify or remove
the seat belts or belt attachment ele-
ments yourself. Have all repairs to seat
belts, belt retractors and buckles car-
ried out by a suitably qualified work-
shop. The qualified workshop may only
replace the seat belt with a seat belt
approved for the seat.
·
Have seat belts that have been subjec-
ted to stress and stretched during an
accident replaced by a suitably quali-
fied workshop. Renewal may be neces-
sary even if there is no apparent dam-
age. Also check the anchorages of the
seat belts.
WARNING
Using seat belts incorrectly increases the
risk of severe or fa
tal injuries.
·
Regularly check to ensure that the seat
belt and its related parts are in perfect
condition.
·
Always keep the seat belts clean.
·
Avoid allowing foreign bodies or liquids
to enter the seat belt buckle slots and
belt buckles. This could prevent the
sea
t belt buckle slots, belt buckles and
seat belts from working properly.
·
Never trap the seat belt. Never damage
the belt or allow it to rub against sharp
edges.
