Seat belts
Using seat belts
Introduction
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.
The seat belts reduce the kinetic energy (energy of motion) to a considerable
extent. They also prevent uncontrolled movements which, in turn, may well re-
sult in severe injuries.
When transporting a child the following instructions must be observed
» page 28, Transporting children safely.
WARNING
Fasten seat belts before every ride! 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 18, Correct and safe seating 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 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
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.
No two persons (also not children) should ever use a single seat belt to-
gether.
WARNING (Continued)
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.
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 attach clamps or similar objects to the belt - the function of the
belt retractor could be restricted.
The seat belts for the rear seats can only fulfil their function reliably when
the seat backrests are correctly locked into position » page 70.
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 193.
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 damage to
the parts of the seat belt system (e.g. the strap, the belt connectors, the re-
tractor, the lock or similar) are detected, the seat belt in question must be
replaced immediately by a specialist.
Seat belts which have been subjected to stress in an accident should be
replaced by a specialist garage. Also check the seat belt anchors.
