Seat belts
Using seat belts
Įvadas į temą
Seat belts that are fastened correctly offer good protection in the event of an
accident. They reduce the risk of an injury and increase the chance of survival
in the event of a major accident.
The seat belts reduce the kinetic energy considerably. They also prevent un-
controlled movements which, in turn, may well result in severe injuries.
When transporting children, observe the following information» puslapis 29,
Transporting children safely.
DĖMESIO
■
Put the seat belt on before starting any journey! This also applies to other
passengers - there is a danger of injury!
■
Maximum seat belt protection is only achieved if you are correctly seated
» puslapis 19, Correct and safe seating position.
■
The seat backrests of the front seats must not be tilted too far to the rear
otherwise the seatbelts can lose their effectiveness.
DĖMESIO
Information on dealing with the safety belts
■
The belt webbing must not be jammed in-between at any point or twis-
ted, or chafe against any sharp edges.
■
Make sure you do not catch the seat belt in the door when closing it.
DĖMESIO
Information on the proper use of safety belts
■
Adjust the height of the belt in such a way that the shoulder part of the
belt is roughly positioned across the middle of your shoulder - on no ac-
count across your neck.
■
No two persons (also not children) should ever use a single seat belt to-
gether.
■
The lock tongue should only be inserted into the lock which is the correct
one for your seat. Wrong use of the safety belt will reduce its capacity to
protect and the risk of injury increases.
DĖMESIO (tęsinys)
■
Many layers of clothing and loose clothing (e. g. a winter coat over a jac-
ket) do not allow you to be correctly seated and impairs proper operation
of the seat belts.
■
Do not attach clamps or similar objects to the belt - the function of the
belt retractor could be restricted.
■
The seat belts for the rear seats can only fulfil their function reliably when
the seat backrests are correctly locked into position » puslapis 85.
DĖMESIO
Information on the care and maintenance of safety belts
■
The belt webbing must always be kept clean. Soiled belt webbing may im-
pair the proper operation of the inertia reel » puslapis 262.
■
The seat belts must not be removed or changed in any way. Do not at-
tempt to repair the seat belts yourself.
■
Check the condition of all the seat belts on a regular basis. If parts of the
belt system become damaged (e.g. the belt webbing, the belt connections,
the inertia reel, the locking part etc.), the respective seat belt must be re-
placed by a specialist garage immediately.
■
Seat belts which have been subjected to stress in an accident must be re-
placed by a specialist garage. Also check the seat belt anchors.
