SEATBELTS
Retractor belts
To put on the retractor seatbelt, pull the
metal tongue across your body and clip it
into the buckle. When the metal tongue has
locked safely into place you will hear a click.
After fastening, settle the seatbelt by running
your hand under the seatbelt starting at the
hip, move your hand across to the buckle
then up under the sash. Any extra seatbelt
length will retract automatically.
The lap section should be worn as low as possible across your hips, not on your waist.
Ensure the sash and lap sections of the seatbelt are free from twists and t rmly.
Note The emergency-locking retractor allows you to move freely while the vehicle is
travelling normally. The retractor locks the seatbelt immediately on fast braking, impact
with a solid object or any quick movement by the wearer.
To release the seatbelt, press the release button on the buckle and allow the seatbelt
to retract. Check that it fully retracts without twisting or turning.
Seatbelt height adjustment

WARNING
Do not attempt to adjust the seatbelt
height while driving, because it could
cause loss of control of the vehicle.
• Push the height adjustment knob in
the direction you require.
• Slide the seatbelt guide to the desired
height.
• Release the seatbelt guide at the
required position and ensure the
seatbelt guide has clicked into position.
Adjust the height so that the seatbelt passes over the wearer’s shoulder and rests
against the shoulder. It must not pass over the neck or upper arm. Shorter people
should select a low seatbelt guide position and taller people a higher one.
Lap belts

body and push it into the buckle until you
hear a click. Make sure the belts are tted
rmly across the lower hip area and not
across your waist.
