Keep knees pointing straight forwards so that driver’s side knee bolsters can help prevent subm arining under the sea t b elt in the event of a collision. Bulky clothing prev ents the belt from fitting properly .
74 Safety systems Inspection of belts Periodically inspect all parts of the belt sy stem for d amage and to make sure they are functioning p roperly. Have dama ged parts replaced by a work shop. After an accident, dam aged or ov erstretched belts must be replaced by new ones, even if damag e or stretching is not obv ious or visible.

202 Tec hnic al data Fuel consumption, CO 2 emissions Directive 80/1268/EEC (last c hanged by 1999/100/EC) has applied for the measurement of fuel consumption since 1996. The direc tiv e is oriented to actual driving practices: Urba n driving is rated at approx. 1/ 3 and extra-urban driving with approx. 2/ 3 (urban and extra-urban consumption). C old sta rts a nd acceleration phases are also taken into considera tion. The specification of CO 2 emission is also a constituent of the directive.
