OPERATION
Seat belts which
are
damaged
or
have
been stressed in an accident and stretch-
ed must
be
replaced
-
preferably
by a
V.A.G workshop. The anchorages should
also
be
checked.
Belts
can be
service installed
for all
seating
positions
on
vehicles
not
fitted
with belts
at
the factory.
The
installation
of belts should
be
done
by a V.A.G
workshop because these workshops
have
the
information necessary
to do
the
job
properly.
Note
On the Van there are no belt anchorages
in
the
load compartment.

Three-point inertia reel belts*
The inertia reel belt gives complete free-
dom
of
movement when pulled slowly.
Sudden braking
however
will cause
the
belt
to
lock.
The retractor mechanism will also lock
the belt when accelerating, driving down
steep gradients
or
cornering hard.
Putting
belt on
Pull
the
tongue slowly
and
smoothly
across
your
chest and hips
and
push
it
into
the
lock part fitted
on the
seat until
tongue engages audibly
(pull
to
check).
The shoulder part of the belt must
run roughly across the centre of the
shoulder as shown - on no account
against
the neck - and be firmly in
contact
with
the body.
On
the
front
seats
the
routing
of fe
shoulder belt can
be
altered
by
installing
a
belt anchorage height adapter.
The lap part of belt must always •
tightly
across the lap. Pull belt
tight
1
necessary.
Particularly in the case of pregnar-
women
the lap part of the belt should be
as
low across the lap as possible s:
that no pressure is exerted on the abdo-
men.
The belt must not be twisted.
The backrest of the front seats mus"
not be inclined too far to the rear as
otherwise the belts are no longer
effec-
tive.
Taking
belt off
To release
the
belt, press
the
orange-
coloured button
in the
lock.
The
tongue
will
then spring
out.
Pass
the
tongue towards
the
door
b.
hand
so
that
the
retractor
can
roll
the
belt
up
properly.
