Seat Belts

Seat belts provided with your vehicle are the most important on-board safety equipment. Seat belts minimize the risk of injury by reducing the movement of the occupants in the direction of impact and their contact with the interior in case of a crash. Always fasten your seat belts while driving. Seat belt shall not loose or bent or shall not be blocked by another occupant or load. WARNING Seat belt cannot provide its protection function if you do not fasten it correctly or ensure that the belt lock is engaged properly. Otherwise, you may get seriously or fatally injured in case of an accident. Ensure that all occupants of the vehicle have properly fastened their seat belts to prevent this.

Do not drive while the backrest is leaned backwards excessively.

WARNING Always ensure that the seat belt passes over the hip area, not over the abdominal area; that it is tensioned, and not bent in any way; that it passes from the center of the shoulders, not from the neck area or from the armpits; that it is pulled upwards from the chest area and that it is tensioned on the hip area. Do not fasten the belt with heavy items and avoid wearing thick clothes. Do not fasten the seat belt over fragile objects in or on your clothes such as glasses, keys, pens etc. Use a seat belt for only one person. Never travel with your children on your lap and do not fasten the seat belt over them. WARNING Seat belts provide safety inside the vehicle when the occupants are seated in vertical position while the backrests of the seat are in vertical position. Avoid seating position that prevent correct operation of the seat belts.
