Seat belts
Seat belts
The seat belts with integrated belt
tensioners and belt force limiters
combine with the airbags to form a
restraint system that offers maximum
safety in the event of an accident.
Danger of injury!
Airbags represent an additional
form of protection but are no substitute
for wearing a seat belt. To reduce the
risk of serious or fatal injuries, make
sure that all occupants, particularly
pregnant women, always fasten their
seat belt correctly, are sitting in a
normal position and have their seat
more or less in the upright position.
Danger of injury!
If you do not fit the seat belt
correctly or do not engage it properly
in the catch, it will be unable to
protect you in the manner intended. In
certain circumstances this could
result in serious or even fatal
injuries. You should therefore make
sure that all occupants ! particularly
pregnant women – are always wearing
their seat belt correctly. Make sure
that the belt
! runs over the hip bone as low down as
possible, i.e. across the hip joint
and not across the stomach.
! is taut.
! is not twisted.
! runs centrally over the shoulder.
! does not run across the neck or is
underneath the arm.
! is sufficiently taut across the
pelvis; pull up the belt running
across the chest to tauten it.
Always use a seat belt for one person
only.
Never use a seat belt for an object and a
person at one and the same time.
Avoid wearing bulky clothing, e.g. a
winter coat.
Do not allow the belt to run across sharp
or fragile objects, particularly on or
inside your clothes, such as glasses,
pens, keys, etc. The belt could
otherwise tear and expose you or other
occupants to a risk of injury.
Never carry children travelling on the
lap of an occupant. In the event of an
accident, abrupt braking or sudden
changes of direction, it would no
longer be possible to hold the child
securely, and both the child and other
occupants could sustain potentially
fatal injuries as a result.
