Seat belts
Given that the passengers of the vehicle in our
example do not have their seat belts fastened,
in the event of a collision the entire amount
of the passengers' kinetic energy will be only
absorbed by the mentioned impact.
Even at speeds of 30 km/h (19 mph) to 50
km/h (30 mph), the forces acting on bodies in
a collision can easily exceed one tonne (1000
kg). At greater speed these forces are even
higher.
Vehicle occupants not wearing seat belts are
not “attached” to the vehicle. In a head-on
collision, they will move forward at the same
speed their vehicle was travelling just before
the impact. This example applies not only to
head-on collisions, but to all accidents and
collisions.
Even at low speeds the forces acting on the
body in a collision are so great that it is not
possible to brace oneself with one's hands. In
the event of a head-on collision, vehicle occu-
pants not wearing a seat belt will be thrown
uncontrollably forward and will collide, for ex-
ample, against the steering wheel, instrument
panel or windscreen ›››Fig.17.
It is also important for rear passengers to wear
seat belts properly, as they could otherwise be
thrown forward violently through the vehicle
interior in an accident. If a rear seat occupant
is not wearing a seat belt, they are not only en-
dangering themselves but also the occupants
of the front seats ›››Fig.18.
Fastening and unfastening the seat
belt
Fig.19 Insert the latch plate of the seat
belt into the buckle.
Fig.20 Release the seat belt's latch plate.
Properly worn seat belts hold the vehicle occu-
pants in the position that most protects them
in the event of an accident or sudden braking
››› .
Fastening the seat belt
Fasten your seat belt before each trip.
Adjust the front seat and head restraint cor-
rectly ›››page34.
Engage the seat backrest of the rear seat in
an upright position ››› .
Pull the latch plate and place the belt web-
bing evenly across your chest and lap. Do not
twist the seat belt when doing so ››› .
Insert the buckle plate in the buckle of the
correct seat ›››Fig.19.
Pull the belt to ensure that the latch plate is
securely engaged in the buckle.
Releasing the seat belt
Only unfasten the seat belt when the vehicle
has come to a standstill ››› .
Press the red button on the buckle
›››Fig.20. The latch plate is released from
the buckle.
Guide the belt back by hand so that it rolls up
easily and the trim will not be damaged.
