Seat belts help reduce the chance of serious injury in traffic accidents and emergency braking of the vehicle. All seats are equipped with diagonal lap belts. The belts are equipped with an inertial reel, which retracts the unused seat belt. Inertial coils provide comfort for the driver and passenger in normal driving conditions. In the event of a vehicle collision, the inertial coils block the release of the belt and keep the driver and passenger from dangerous movements. The rear seat is equipped with diagonal lap belts with inertial coils.
Always wear your seat belt and ensure that all passengers are also wearing seat belts or using appropriate restraints. In the event of an accident, the driver and passengers who are not wearing seat belts could hit each other or body parts, or be thrown out of the vehicle. In doing so, they can be seriously injured or even killed. Other things being equal, seat-belted passengers will be much safer.
It is forbidden to operate the car with defective seat belts. In a collision with a vehicle, the belt strap may be damaged. Such a seat belt cannot provide effective protection in the event of a vehicle collision. In the event of an accident, the frontal airbags and the pyrotechnic pretensioners are deployed simultaneously. Regardless of whether there was a passenger in the front seat or not, whether or not the airbags or seat belt pretensioners were deployed, be sure to check the serviceability of the belts installed on the front seats and all airbags. If necessary, replace defective airbags and seat belts. Do not use a twisted seat belt. In the event of a car collision, the inertial load from the body mass will not be perceived by the entire width of the strap, but only by part of it. This increases the load on the chest bones located under the strap, which can lead to serious injury or death.
Do not fasten two seat belts with the same seat belt (or more) person at the same time.
Always follow the rule: for each passenger - his own seat belt.
It is dangerous to use the same seat belt for two or more passengers at the same time.
In this case, the seat belt will not properly distribute the dynamic load from the impact of the car, and passengers wearing the same seat belt will cause serious injury or death to each other.
