Using the belts
Fitting the belt
Pull the belt out evenly from the retractor
and guide it over the shoulder, making
certain that it is not twisted.
Insert the latch plate into the buckle.
The seat backrest must not be tilted back
too far (the recom mended m aximum tilting
angle is approx. 25°).
The lap belt must not be twisted and must
fit snugly across the body. Tension the belt
frequently whilst driving by tugging the
diagonal part of the belt.

Keep knees pointing straight forward so
that driver’s side knee bolsters can help
prevent submarining under the seat belt in
the event of a collision.
Bulky clothing prevents the belt from fitting
properly. The belt must not rest against
hard or fragile objects in the pockets of
your clothing (e.g. ballpoint pens, keys,
spectacles) because these could cause
injury in the event of a collision. Do not
place any objects (e.g . handbags) between
the belt and your body.
