Principle of Operation
WARNING:
Wear a seatbelt and keep sufficient distance between yourself and the steering wheel. Only when you use the seatbelt properly, can it hold you in position to achieve its optimum effect.
WARNING:
Never use a seatbelt for more than one person. It is dangerous to put a belt around a child being carried on the occupant's lap.
WARNING:
Use the correct buckle for each seatbelt.
WARNING:
Do not use a seatbelt that is slack or twisted.
WARNING:
Do not wear thick clothing. The seatbelt must fit tightly around your body to achieve its optimum effect. |
The driver and front passenger seatbelt systems are fitted with a seatbelt pretensioner. Seatbelt pretensioners have a lower deployment threshold than the airbags. During minor collisions, it is possible that only the seatbelt pretensioners will deploy.

WARNING:
Avoid contamination of the webbing with polishes, oils, chemicals and particularly battery acid. Use mild soap and water for cleaning the webbing. If webbing becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged, replace the belt.
WARNING:
If your vehicle is involved in a crash, have the seatbelts and associated components inspected as soon as possible. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death.
WARNING:
Never use a seatbelt for more than one person. It is dangerous to put a belt around a child being carried on the occupant's lap.
WARNING:
No modifications or additions should be made by the user which will either prevent the seatbelt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack or prevent the seatbelt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack. |
Note:
Position the shoulder strap of the seatbelt over the center of your shoulder and position the lap strap tightly across your hips.
Status After a Crash

WARNING:
Seatbelts subjected to strain, as a result of an accident, should be renewed and the anchorages checked by a properly trained technician. |
