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.
Belts should not be worn with the
straps twisted.
Each belt assembly must only be
used by one occupant; it is
dangerous to put a belt around a
child being carried on the
occupant’s lap.
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.

Fastening a seat belt:
With the seat belt correctly positioned,
place the metal tongue into the buckle
nearest to you. Press it in until a click is
heard.
When correctly positioned the seat belt
should cross the collar bone at the
mid-point between the neck and end of
your shoulder.
To release the seat belt, press the red
button.
Where possible, rear seat passengers
should adjust their seating position to
achieve the same seat belt position.
Note: When releasing the seat belt it is
advisable to hold the belt before pressing
the release button. This will prevent the
belt from retracting too quickly.
Ensure that the height is correctly
adjusted and the mechanism is
locked in place before driving.

Seat belt use during pregnancy:
The use of comfort clips or devices
that would create slack in the seat
belt system, is not advised.
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.
