Correct belt webbing arrangement
The webbing arrange-
ment is extremely impor-
tant for the seat belts to
oer the best possible
protection.
▶
The shoulder strap
must run over the mid-
dle of the shoulder,
must never run over
the neck, and must lie
firmly against the body
(it must not run over loose layers of clothing).
▶
The lap belt part must be placed in front of the pel-
vis and fit tightly.
▶
In pregnant women, the lap belt part must be as
low as possible on the pelvis, so that no pressure is
exercised on the abdomen.
▶
The webbing must not be pinched or twisted and
rub against sharp edges.
▶
The webbing must not pass over solid or fragile
objects in clothing, such as a key ring, etc.
▶
The tongue may only be inserted into the buckle of
the associated seat.
▶
The webbing must be tight. Therefore, do not at-
tach clamps or similar items to the webbing for ad-
justing the seat belt according to body size.
Correct steering wheel position
▶
Hold the steering
wheel with both hands
on the outer edge in
the "9 o'clock" and "3
o'clock" position. Oth-
erwise, you may expe-
rience serious injury to
the arms, hands and
head when deploying
the airbag.
Be mindful of the eect of the airbag system
Airbag systems can only properly protect if all occu-
pants have been secured and they are in the correct
seating position.
No persons, animals or objects such as cup holders
or hangers for clothes may be in the deployment
area of the airbags » page 40.
▶
Do not cover or stick anything over the steering
wheel or the dash panel. The front airbags were
not able to deploy.
The front passenger airbag should be switched o in
some situations » page 41.
Securing children properly
▶
Do not carry a child on your lap, and secure the
child and yourself with a seat belt.
▶
Only transport children in a suitable child
seat » page 37.
Children under 150 cm tall will not be properly pro-
tected without a child seat. Children that have been
inadequately secured can be thrown through the ve-
hicle in the event of an accident or a sudden ma-
noeuvre. You can cause life-threatening injuries to
yourself and other occupants.
If children lean forward or assume a wrong sitting
position while driving, they are more likely to be in-
jured in the event of an accident. This is especially
true for children who are carried in the passenger
seat - when the airbag system triggers, they can be
seriously injured or killed!
