USING THE SEAT BELTS
1. Putting on a seat belt: Draw the belt
out smoothly, make sure the belt
height, the seat and your position on
the seat, are correct.
2. Fastening a seat belt: With the seat
belt correctly positioned, place the
metal tongue into the buckle nearest
to you. Press it in until a click is heard.
Pull up on the belt, to confirm the
buckle is latched correctly.
To release the seat belt, press the red
button.
Note: When releasing the seat belt, it
is advisable to hold the belt before
pressing the release button. This will
prevent the belt from retracting too
quickly.
3. Seat belt use during pregnancy:
Position the lap strap comfortably
across the hips beneath the abdomen.
Place the diagonal part of the seat belt
between the breasts and to the side
of the abdomen.
Position the seat belt correctly for
the safety of the mother and
unborn child. Never wear just the
lap strap, and never sit on the lap
strap while using just the shoulder
strap. Both of these actions are
extremely dangerous, and may
increase your risk of serious injury
in the event of an accident or
during emergency braking.
Never place anything between
you and the seat belt in an
attempt to cushion the impact in
the event of an accident. It can be
dangerous, and will reduce the
effectiveness of the seat belt in
preventing injury.
4. Seat belt height adjustment: Press to
release the catch.
With the catch pressed, move the
mechanism slide up or down to the
required height. Make sure the locking
mechanism has engaged.
When correctly positioned, the seat
belt should cross the collar bone at the
mid-point between the neck and end
of your shoulder.
Note: Seat belt height adjustment is
only fitted to 5 door vehicles.
Where possible, rear seat passengers
should adjust their seating position to
achieve the same seat belt position.
