Fastening the safety belt
f Assume a comfortable sitting position.
Adjust the backrest of the front seat so that the
belt always rests on your upper body and runs
across the middle of your shoulder.
f Grasp the belt tongue and pull the belt in a
slow, continuous motion across your chest and
lap.
Note on operation
The belt can be blocked if the vehicle is standing
at an angle or if the belt is pulled out using a jerk-
ing movement.
f The belt cannot be pulled out while accelerat-
ing and slowing down, when cornering and
when driving uphill.
f Insert the belt tongue into the appropriate
buckle on the inboard side of the seat, until it
locks securely with an audible click.
f Make sure that belts are not trapped or twist-
ed, and that they are not rubbing on sharp edg-
es.
f The horizontal section of the belt should al-
ways fit snugly across the pelvis. Therefore, af-
ter fastening the belt, always pull the diagonal
part of the belt upwards.
Pregnant women should position the belt as
low as possible across the pelvis, and ensure
that it is not pressing against the abdomen.
f Pull on the diagonal section of the belt now and
again during the journey to ensure that the
horizontal section remains tight.
f Make sure that the belts and buckles fit
correctly on the rear seat bench.
Releasing the safety belt
f Hold the belt tongue.
f Press the red button (arrow).
f Guide belt tongue to the reel.
