WARNING!
– The complete safety belt assembly must be renewed after a
collision, even if there is no visible evidence of damage. Contact a
DAF Service dealer.
The correct functioning of the safety belts after being subjected to
high load during a collision cannot be guaranteed.
Wearing the safety belt
– Do not twist the safety belt when putting it on.
– Make sure that the tongue snaps firmly into place when pushed into the buckle.
– Adjust the safety belt height. The safety belt must fit snugly across the body
Adjusting the safety belt height
Press the lever and adjust safety belt
height (four steps are possible). The
locking mechanism must lock into place
with an audible click after the lever is
released.
– When unfastening the safety belt, allow the belt to retract so that the belt forms a
straight line between the anchorage points.
Checking the safety belts
– Give a short pull on the safety belt to test the locking mechanism. During this test,
the belt must lock and it must not be possible to pull the safety belt out of the
retracting unit after locking.
Repeat this check regularly, for example when putting on the safety belt, to check
the mechanism.
The locking mechanism must be replaced and/or repaired immediately if it is
defective. Contact a DAF Service dealer.
– Inspect the belts regularly for wear.
