Adjusting seat belt height
Compress belt height adjuster in
direction of arrows and take hold of
the top guide fitting to slide it up or
down so that the shoulder portion of
the seat belt is positioned roughly
midway over the shoulder.
After adjusting, pull
the shoulder belt
sharply to check
that the catch on
the guide fitting has
engaged securely.
Adjust seat and sit in correct position
The front seats should not be positioned too close
to the steering wheel or dashboard. Maintain a
distance of at least 25 cm and sit in a
normal upright position. The top of
the head restraint should be at eye
level or higher. Always keep
your feet in the footwell.
Wear the seat belt correctly
Make sure that the shoulder section of the belt is positioned
over the centre of the shoulder and
move the lap section as far down
over the hips as possible. The belts
should always be worn so that
they fit tightly
(see illustration).
Safety
Seat belts must be worn on every journey, even on short trips in town. This
applies to the front and rear seats. To ensure that the seat belts, belt
tensioners and airbags are fully effective, please note the following points:
Safety of children in the vehicle
Children under 12 should travel on the rear seat. They must be protected by a child
restraint system which complies with the European standard ECE-R 44 and is
suitable for the child’s height and weight. The safest place for the
child restraint system is behind the front passenger’s seat.
WARNING!
Please follow the instructions in the Owner’s Manual
and read the instructions provided by the child seat
manufacturer.
