Occupant Protection
R
If the belt has any slack in the lap strap
this must be removed by pulling firmly
upwards on the shoulder strap of the seat
belt thus tightening the belt and safely
securing the occupant.
!
WARNING:
Do not use the belt clip to introduce
slack into the seat belt. To be fully
effective, the seat belt must remain in
full contact with the body at all times.
Pregnant Women
!
WARNING:
Position the seat belt correctly for the
safety of the mother and unborn child.
Never wear just the lap strap, and
never sit on the lap strap whilst using
just the shoulder strap. Both of these
actions are extremely dangerous, and
may increase your risk of serious injury
in the event of an accident or during
emergency braking.
!
WARNING:
Never place anything between you and
the seat belt in an attempt to cushion
the impact in the event of an accident.
It can be dangerous, and will reduce
the effectiveness of the seat belt in
preventing injury.
Position the lap strap comfortably across
the hips beneath the abdomen. Place the
diagonal part of the seat belt between the
breasts and to the side of the abdomen.
Ensure that the seat belt is not slack or
twisted.
