To use the belt, sit erect and fully back in the seat before
taking the buckle tongue in the outer hand, and drawing the
belt through the top slide, pass the belt across the body and
push the tongue into the buckle lock at the inboard side of the
seat, until a positive ‘click’ is heard. Pull on the belt to check for
correct latching and ensure that the belt fits snugly against the
body with all the slack taken up by the reel. The belt should be
worn low across the front of the pelvis, and across the chest
and shoulder.
The belts are released by pressing the red button on the
buckle lock, and will retract automatically for tidy storage and
to permit easy access to the passenger compartment.
