Introduction

This chapter contains information on the following subjects:

The physical principle of a frontal collision 12

Correct routing of seat belt 12

Fastening and unfastening seat belts 13

Seat belts that are fastened correctly offer good protection in the event of an

accident. They reduce the risk of an injury and increase the chance of survival

in the event of a major accident.

Properly fastened seat belts hold occupants to correctly set seats in the right

seat position.

Particular safety aspects must be observed when transporting children in the

vehicle » page 19, Transporting children safely.

The national legal requirements must be observed when using seat belts.

WARNING

■

Fasten your seat belt before each journey – even when driving in town!

This also applies to other passengers - there is a danger of injury!

■

Maximum seat belt protection is only achieved if you are correctly seated

» page 8, Correct and safe seated position.

■

The seat backrests of the front seats must not be tilted too far to the rear

otherwise the seatbelts can lose their effectiveness.

WARNING

Information on the correct routing of the belt

■

Always ensure that the webbing of the seat belts is properly routed. Seat

belts which are not correctly adjusted can themselves cause injuries even

in minor accidents.

■

A seat belt which is hanging too loose can result in injuries as your body is

moved forward by the kinetic energy produced in an accident and is then

suddenly held firm by the belt.

■

The belt webbing must not run across solid or fragile objects (e.g. specta-

cles, ball-point pens, bunches of keys etc.). Such objects can cause injury.

WARNING

Information on dealing with the safety belts

■

The belt webbing must not be jammed in-between at any point or twis-

ted, or chafe against any sharp edges.

■

Make sure you do not catch the seat belt when closing the door.

WARNING

Information on the proper use of the safety belts

■

No two persons (also not children) should ever use a single seat belt to-

gether.

■

The lock tongue should only be inserted into the lock which is the correct

one for your seat. Wrong use of the safety belt will reduce its capacity to

protect and the risk of injury increases.

■

The slot of the belt tongue must not be blocked, otherwise the belt

tongue will not lock in place properly.

■

Many layers of clothing and loose clothing (e. g. a winter coat over a jack-

et) do not allow you to be correctly seated and impairs proper operation of

the seat belts.

■

Do not use clamps or other objects to adjust seat belts (e.g. for shorten-

ing the belts for smaller persons).

■

The seat belts for the rear seats can only fulfil their function reliably

when the seat backrests are correctly locked into position » page 56, Seat

backrests.

WARNING

Information on the care and maintenance of the safety belts

■

The belt webbing must always be kept clean. Soiled belt webbing may im-

pair proper operation of the inertia reel » page 100, Safety belts.

■

The seat belts must not be removed or changed in any way. Do not at-

tempt to repair the seat belts yourself.

■

Check the condition of all the seat belts on a regular basis. If any damage

to the seat belts, seat belt connections, inertia reel or the lock is detected,

the relevant seat belt must be replaced by a specialist garage.

■

Damaged seat belts which have been subjected to stress in an accident

and were therefore stretched, must be replaced – this is best done by a

specialist garage. The anchorage points of the belts must also be inspec-

ted. The anchorage points for the belts should also be checked.

Seat belts

I bought my 2016 Skoda Citigo two months ago and can't find out why it will suddenly ping for no obvious reason, some times pining three or four time in a row. My partner noticed the numbers 1-5 with an arrow coming up on the right hand side of the odometer but we can't find out what they or the mysterious pinging is. Please can you help. Thank you Submitted on 15-9-2022 at 10:11
