Seat Belts

For your own safety, we strongly urge you to strap on your seat belts while driving. Do not use one seat belt for more than one person. Ensure that the seat belts are not slack or twisted when strapped across. Before driving off, first ensure that your driving position is correct and then adjust your seat belt to provide maximum protection.

Before Driving

MAHINDRA GOA

Fastening Seat Belts

Pull the seat belt over your shoulder and across the chest. Insert the metal tongue plate into the buckle. An audible click indicates that the belt is locked securely. Make sure that each belt uses the correct buckle meant for each seat.

To release the belt, depress the red button on the buckle, and let the belt rewind into its reel smoothly and completely.

Caution

Feed the belt back into the retractor

by hand to avoid twisting and snagging.

Always wear your seat belt while traveling in vehicle and make sure all the occupants are properly restrained. Not wearing the seat belt while driving is extremely dangerous.

• Do not use the seat with

malfunctioning/improper seat belts system. it can not protect the occupant from injury. Get the seat belt problem fixed by Mahindra authorised dealer immediately. Used/damaged seat belt system cannot provide the adequate protection in the event of collision/ accident. Do not use the twisted seat belts. Twisted seat belt may injure the user.

Warning

Seatbelts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body, and should be worn low across the front of the pelvis or the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing the lap section of the belt across the abdominal area must be avoided.

• Seatbelts should be adjusted as firmly as possible, consistent with comfort, to provide the protection for which they have been designed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the protection afforded to the wearer.

• Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the webbing with polishes, oils and chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out using mild soap and water. The belt should be replaced if webbing becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged.

Before Driving

MAHINDRA GOA

• It is essential to replace the entire assembly after it has been worn in a severe impact even if damage to the assembly is not obvious.

• Belts should not be worn with straps twisted.

• Each belt assembly must only be used by one occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt around a child being carried on the occupant’s lap.

Warning

No modifications or additions should be made by the user which will either prevent the seat belt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack.

Caution

Be careful do not damage the seat belt webbing or hardware. Take care that they do not get caught or pinched in the seat or doors. Never use one seat belt for more than a person at a time.

• Pull the belt from its reel steadily. It may get locked if wrenched from the reel. The belts provide maximum protection when seats are in their normal upright position. So, do not recline your seats steeply. During the sudden braking or a collision, you can slide under the lap belt, if your seat is reclined to the unsafe level, and suffer serious internal injuries.

Warning

Wear the lap seat belt snugly and as low as possible. A lap belt worn too high can be dangerous. In the event of collision/accident, this may concentrate the impact force on the abdominal area causing serious injury.

Checking seat Belt operation

Your seat belt retractors are designed to lock belt movement in the following conditions

• When the belt is pulled quickly from the retractor

• When the vehicle slows down rapidly.

To check the condition of seat belt operation, grasp the shoulder belt and pull quickly forward. The retractor should lock and restrict further belt movement. If the seat belt does not lock during these checks or if you have any question on seat belt operation, contact Mahindra Authorised dealer.

In models with rear seat belts - seat the child in the rear seat and use the seat belt. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. Always secure a child in a proper child restraint system in accordance with age and size of the child as recommended by the child restraint system manufacturer.
