Wearing seat belts
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 20.
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.
Adjust the height of the belt in such a way that the shoulder part of the
belt is roughly positioned across the middle of your shoulder - on no ac-
count across your neck.
WARNING (Continued)
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
abruptly held firm by the belt.
The belt must not run across solid or fragile objects (e.g. spectacles, ball-
point pens, 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 in the door when closing it.
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 72.
WARNING
Information on the care and maintenance of the safety belts
The belt webbing must always be kept clean. Soiled belts may impair
proper operation of the inertia reel » page 146.
The seat belts must not be removed or changed in any way. Do not at-
tempt to repair the seat belts yourself.
