ously in collisions or sudden maneu-
vers.

SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS
To protect you and your passengers in the
event of an accident, it is compulsory that
the seat belts are worn by all occupants
while the vehicle is in driving. Seat belts
should be worn correctly.
Each seat belt is designed to be used by
only one person at a time : they are not
suitable for use by children below 6 years
of age. Suitable child seats/booster cush-
ions should be fitted.
WARNING
•
Seatbelts are designed to bear
upon the bony structure of the
body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis or the
pelvis, chest and shoulders, as
applicable; wearing the lap sec-
tion of the belt across the abdomi-
nal area must be avoided.
•
Seatbelt should be adjusted as
firmly as possible, consistent with
comfort, to provide the protection
for which they have been designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
•
Care should be taken to avoid
contamination of the webbing with
polishes, oils and chemicals, and
particularly battery acid. Clean-
ing may safely be carried out us-
ing mild soap and water. The belt
should be replaced if webbing be-
comes frayed, contaminated or
damaged.
