Attention
- The maximum protective effect of the belts is only achieved when the seat is in the correct position.
- Never fasten two people with one belt (including children). It is especially dangerous to fasten a child when he is sitting on your lap.
- The belt webbing must not press against hard or brittle objects (glasses, ballpoint pens, etc.), as it may cause injury.
- Damaged, as well as stretched due to emergency operation of the seat belts must be replaced by a specialized company. In addition, also check the attachment points of the straps.
Three-point seat belt position
The position of the seat belts is of great importance for the protective effect of seat belts.
Possibilities of adjusting the position of the seat belt for height:
- Belt height adjustment
- Front seat height adjustment
Attention
- The diagonal part of the belt should pass approximately through the middle of the shoulder and in no case should it wrap around the neck. At the same time, it should fit snugly against the chest. The waist band should always fit snugly around the hips, not the stomach. Tighten the belt if necessary.
- Insufficient belt tension (the belt is not attached to the body) may cause injury, as in case of an accident, under the influence of kinetic energy, the torso moves forward and is sharply braked by the belt.
3-point seat belt fastening by pregnant women and belt position
Pregnant women should also always wear seat belts.
- Install the front seat and head restraint correctly and only then fasten the seat belt.
- Grasp the buckle of the belt, smoothly pull the tape, put it over the chest and belt. At the same time, the waist band of the belt should be located as low as possible to the hips so that there is no pressure on the lower abdomen.
- Insert the clasp into the socket of the corresponding lock until you hear a click.
- Be sure to pull the strap and make sure the lock is locked.
Belt height adjustment
- Move up or down the slider with the reverse buckle so that the diagonal tape is approximately at the level of the middle of the shoulder, but in no case covers the neck.
- After adjusting, pull the strap to make sure the buckle is secure.
Rear side seat belt adjustment
- For passengers of small stature, the belt belt may not pass at the level of the middle of the shoulder, but cover the neck.
- In this case, adjust the position of the belt by retracting the belt guide to the door (for shorter passengers) or towards the middle (for tall passengers).
Seat belt adjustment, middle rear seat
- For passengers of small stature, the belt belt may not pass at the level of the middle of the shoulder, but cover the neck.
- In this case, adjust the position of the belt by placing it in the belt guide chute.
Belt
- Pull out the belt webbing in one continuous motion and insert the belt buckle into the center rear seat buckle until it clicks into place.
The belt can only be pulled out if the belt has been completely retracted by the retractor.
When the belt is properly fastened, the red button is located on the outside of the belt buckle.
Seat belt release
- Press the red lock button. In this case, the fastener is pushed out of the socket under the action of the spring.
- To facilitate the operation of the automatic retraction of the belts, pull the buckle back by hand.
Long-term locking of seat belts
For attaching a child seat to the front passenger seat or the rear seats, a permanent three-point belt lock is available. This belt lock ensures that the child seat is securely fastened to the vehicle.
Attention. When the front passenger airbag is activated, in no case should a child seat be installed in its place, in which the child sits with his back in the direction of travel. Risk of severe or fatal injury to the child when opening the seat cover!
Belt tensioners
The safety of the buckled driver and passengers is enhanced, in addition to the airbag system, by belt tensioners located on the three-point automatic seat belt retractors.
The system is triggered in dangerous frontal collisions from sensors. At the same time, fastened three-point belts are automatically tightened.
The seat belt must not pass over the folded rear seatback. Otherwise, the rear seat belt tensioners will deploy in the event of an accident.
In even more severe collisions, the airbags are additionally deployed. The belt tensioners do not deploy in rear collisions and vehicle rollovers.
Attention. The protective action of the system is enough for only one accident. After the belt tensioners are activated, the tensioner system must be replaced.
