of safety belts equipped with pre-tensioner 

mechanism, and by this mechanism 

at time of collision, the amount of force 

burdened on passenger’s chest will be 

decreased.

Safety belt equipped with pre-tensioner 

mechanism will functions just once at 

time of activation of Airbags, after that, the 

safety belts shall be replaced as soon as 

possible by IKCO authorized dealers.

CAUTION

Safety belts will have their usefulness

Safety TIPS about safety belts

Your vehicle’s safety belts are designed for sized of matured persons and only for using one person. Always ensure fastening the safety 

belts of all passengers and pay attention to the following warnings:

- Never allow the passengers to adjust their seat backrest in a way that it is highly inclined. Safety belts have their complete function 

providing that backrest inclination angle is 25 degrees in comparison to vertical line.

- Adjust your safety belts in a way that they are not loosen. During driving, never try to drag the safety belt from your body. In order for 

appropriate performance, the safety belts shall always be in complete contact with your body.

- Lower belt of the safety belt shall not pass through your stomach, its appropriate place of passing is from the pelvis part. The belt shall 

pass through shoulder and chest diagonally without burdening load to the neck.

- Pick out hard, sharp, or fragile objects line pencil, key, glasses and the like from your clothes before fastening seat belt. Take care that 

the belts are not twisted and there is no barrier in their way.

- Replace the belts which lost their function and sensitivity in hard collisions or worn out ones.

- Make use of safety belts to fix the object on the seats, if possible. In collisions, throwing of not fixed objects on the seats in vehicle cabin 

may result in serious injuries.

- In most of the countries, all passengers of vehicle are obliged to fasten their safety belts, except for situations where a person is 

excluded from this action due to having medical certificate.

- Pregnant women shall pass their safety belt diagonally through shoulder, breasts, and one side of embryo. In case of having any doubt, 

consult with your physician.

indicator light of AIRBAG

will be turned on instrument panel 

display  and  will  flash  for  6  times.  In 

case this lamp stays turned on after 

this 6 flashes, this indicates an error in 

AIRBAG, which the vehicle owner shall

the instrument panel display will be turned ON 

 and will flash for 6 times. In case this lamp 

stays turned on after this 6 flashes, it indicates 
an error in AIRBAG system.
Driver’s AIRBAG is designed behind the 
central cover of steering wheel and the words 
“SRS AIRBAG” are inserted on it in order for 
the purpose of information of vehicle’s being 
equipped with AIRBAG.
- Passenger’s AIRBAG

The passenger’s AIRBAG is designed on the 
upper right side of dashboard and the words

The AIRBAG in vehicle is designed in a way 
that it only functions at the time of severe frontal 
collision, and this is not designed for reaction in 
case of encountering with collisions arising from 
rear or side accidents or overturning of vehicle, 
or trivial accidents. Actually, this safety system 
is designed for protection, safety and damage

The AIRBAG is able to function just one time 
in one accident, and it will fill and empty greatly 
rapidly that even you may not be informed of its 
activation. Activation of AIRBAG neither limits 
your vision, nor it is such hard that disables you 
to exit from the vehicle.
