Seat belt care
Warning
Care should be taken to avoid
contamination of the webbing
with polishes, oils and chemicals,
and particularly battery acid.
Cleaning may safely be carried
out using mild soap and water.
The belt should be replaced
if webbing becomes frayed,
contaminated or damaged.
Replacing seat belts
after a crash
Warning
It is essential to replace the
entire assembly after it has been
worn in a severe impact even if
damage to the assembly is not
obvious.
Airbag system
When triggered, airbags inate
within milliseconds. They also
deate so quickly that it is often
unnoticeable during the collision.
Danger
Do not make any modiîš¿cations to
the airbag system.
The driver should sit back as far
as possible while still maintaining
control of the vehicle. Sitting too
close to the airbag, can cause
death or serious injury when it
inates.
Always wear a seat belt.
Warning
WARNING – EXTREME HAZARD!
Do not use a rearward facing
child restraint on a seat protected
by an airbag in front of it!
The child could be seriously
injured if the airbag inates, as
the child’s head would be very
close to the inating airbag.
Remember that it is safest for
children to be seated in the rear
seats. See Child restraints on
page 41.
