Do not carry hard, fragile, or
sharp items between your person
and the seat belt. In an impact,
the pressure on such items can
cause them to break, which in turn
may cause death or serious injury.
SEAT BELT CHECKS
Note: If the vehicle is parked on an incline,
the seat belt mechanism may lock. This is
a safety feature and the belt should be
gently eased out from the upper
anchorage.
The seat belts should be inspected
regularly to check for fraying, cuts, wear
to the webbing and the condition and
security of the mechanism, buckles,
adjusters and mounting points.
• With the seat belt fastened, give the
webbing near the buckle a quick
upward pull. The buckle must remain
securely locked.
• With the seat belt unfastened, unreel
the seat belt to the limit of its travel.
Check that it unreels smoothly with no
snatches or snags. Allow the belt to
fully retract, again checking for smooth
operation.
• Partially unreel the seat belt, then hold
the tongue plate and give a quick
forward pull. The mechanism must lock
and prevent any further unreeling.
If any of the seat belts fail to meet
those criteria, immediately
contact your Retailer/Authorised
Repairer.
SEAT BELT REMINDER
Seat belt reminder commences when the
vehicle is in motion and the driver's belt
is unbuckled. Dependent on the market,
an audible chime sounds and the warning
indicator in the Instrument panel
illuminates. See 55, SEAT BELT (RED).
The visual and audible warnings applicable
to the Seat belt reminder feature are
market dependent to meet individual
market requirements. The warning signals
given may also change, depending on
whether the vehicle is stationary or when
the vehicle speed exceeds a
predetermined threshold. In certain
markets, the Seat belt reminder feature
also applies to the front passenger seat.
A graphic displayed in the Message centre
indicates which seat belts are fastened at
the start of a journey, and also when a seat
belt is fastened or unfastened during a
journey.
Each seating position is represented by a
passenger icon, the colour and symbol of
which indicates the seat belt status:
1. Green - seat belt in the indicated
position is fastened.
2. Red - seat belt in the indicated
position has been unfastened while
the vehicle ignition is on. This indicator
will turn grey after 30 seconds.
3. Grey - seat belt not fastened.
