Seat Belt Warnings
Seat belts are the most effective means of restraining vehicle
occupants from impact forces, which minimises the danger of
injury from interior impacts and the effects of whiplash.
WARNING: Always fasten the seat belts. Travelling
without a seat belt increases the risk of injury or
death to the vehicle occupants in the event of a
collision.
WARNING: Pregnant women should wear a seat belt
to ensure maximum safety of mother and unborn
child. Position the lap belt across the hips, below the
abdomen and position the shoulder belt between the
breasts and to the side of the abdomen. Ensure the
belt is not slack or twisted.
WARNING: The seat belt only provides its intended
degree of protection if the seat backrest is positioned
close to vertical, and the occupant is sitting upright.
WARNING: The seat belt cannot perform its function
correctly if the seat belt or buckle becomes
excessively dirty or damaged. Ensure the belt latch
engages the buckle fully. Check the seat belts
regularly to ensure that they are not damaged, or
routed over sharp edges and are not trapped. The belt
could tear in an accident, causing injury to occupants.
WARNING: Do not secure any objects with a seat belt
if the seat belt is being used by a vehicle occupant.
WARNING: Avoid wearing bulky clothing which can
make the seat belt less effective in an accident.
WARNING: Only one person should use each seat belt
at any one time.
WARNING: Do not route the belt across sharp edged
or fragile objects especially if these are on or in your
clothing. The seat belt could be damaged and you
could be injured.

Safety
Seat Belts
18
WARNING: A seat belt which is not worn, worn
incorrectly, or has not been engaged fully in the seat
belt buckle, cannot perform its intended function. To
avoid injuries, ensure that all vehicle occupants wear
their seat belt correctly at all times:
– Do not move the seat into a position that could
interfere with the correct positioning of the
seatbelt.
– The belt must lie flat and be routed between the
neck and shoulder.
– The belt is routed as low as possible across your
pelvic area, i.e. across your hip joints and not
across your abdomen.
– Periodically check the seat belt for damage,
check for cuts and that it is not frayed. Check the
seatbelt is secure.
– If the vehicle is involved in an accident, replace
the seat belt used even if it appears undamaged.
– Do not modify the seat belt in a way that could
reduce its functionality.
Not following the necessary precautions can cause
the seatbelt to function incorrectly which can cause
severe injury to vehicle occupants.

To fasten the seat belt:
1. Make sure you are seated comfortably and the seat is set in
the correct position.
2. Grasp the seat belt latch and pull the seat belt across the
body, ensuring that the belt lies flat across the mid point of
the collar bone between the neck and shoulder, then across
the chest and pelvis.
3. With the belt correctly positioned insert the latch into the
buckle and press until a click is heard to confirm engagement.
4. Check engagement by attempting to pull the latch from the
buckle.
The seat belt does not require manual adjustment, the seatbelt self
adjusts to the person and movement as long as no sudden
movements are made.
NOTE: The seats installed in the vehicle are not suitable
for transporting children. The seat belt is designed for
use by adult occupants only.
The mechanism is sensitive to changes in the vehicle position and
may lock in the following circumstances:
–Sudden acceleration.
–When travelling on a slope.
–When travelling on a bend.
Releasing the Seat Belt
To release the seat belt press the button at the top of the buckle.
The seat belt will retract automatically.

activates for approximately 30 seconds. During this phase the
warning light flashes.
After 30 seconds the audio warning switches off for 10 seconds
and switches on again when the vehicle exceeds 10 km/h (6 mph).
The audio warning activates each time the vehicle exceeds 10
km/h (6 mph).
