Attention:
- Do not wear the shoulder part of the belt so that it passes under the armpit or is in any other incorrect position.
- Make sure the belt is not twisted.
- The belt provides the most protection when the seatback is in the upright position. When the backrest is reclined, there is an increased risk that the occupant will slip out from under the belt, especially in a frontal collision, and be injured by the belt or by hitting the dashboard or seatback.
To buckle up, slowly pull out the belt, holding it by the bar. Insert the bar into the latch until you hear a click.
Note: If the belt is blocked and does not come out of the spool, pull the belt hard and then release it. Then slowly pull the belt out again.
Pull the belt out slightly to adjust the desired tension.
Caution: Pregnant women are advised to use their seat belts after consulting a doctor. This will reduce the likelihood of injury to both the woman herself and her unborn child. The waist belt should be positioned as low as possible under the abdomen.
To unfasten the belt, while holding the bar, press the button in the buckle.
Note: Since the belt retracts automatically, hold it by the bar so that the belt does not retract too quickly. Otherwise, you may damage the vehicle.
Adjusting the height of the seat belt attachment point (front seats)
To adjust the height of the seat belt anchor point, press or pull the lock button and move the seat belt anchor point up or down to the position that best suits you and release the button. You should hear a click and make sure the seat belt anchor is securely in place.
Attention: when adjusting the anchorage point of the harness, position it high enough so that the strap is in full contact with your shoulder, but does not touch your neck.
Child seats
When transporting children in your vehicle, you should always use some type of restraint, depending on the weight and age of the child.
Attention:
- It is recommended to transport children only in the back seat and use restraints for them.
- Holding a child in your arms will not replace a restraint.
Caution against installing child seats on vehicles with an airbag (SRS) front passenger
The sign shown in the figure is affixed to vehicles equipped with a passenger airbag.
Attention:
- Do not use rear-facing child seats on a front passenger seat that has an airbag in front of it. The force of the passenger seat airbag deployment may press the child seat against the seatback, resulting in serious injury.
- Forward facing child seats must be installed in the second or third row seats.
- If installing a child seat on the front passenger seat, move the latter to its rearmost position.
Infants and young children
For infants of such a size that the shoulder belt comes into contact with the face or neck when seated, a carrycot should be used instead of a child seat. For younger children, a child seat must be used.
The child restraint must be appropriate for the weight and height of your child and must be properly installed in the vehicle.
When installing a child seat, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the device.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious or even fatal injury to your child.
When the child seat is not in use, secure it with the seat belt or remove it from the vehicle so that it does not inadvertently injure the child.
Note: Before buying a child seat, check if it fits well in the rear seat. Sometimes seat belt buckles located on the seat cushion can make it difficult to securely install certain types of child seats. If the child seat can be moved forward on the seat cushion after tightening its belt, select a different child seat.
Teenagers
Children who are no longer suitable for a child seat must sit in the rear seat and wear the combined lap/shoulder belt. The waist part of the belt should tightly cover the hips of the child. Otherwise, in an accident, the belt may cut into the stomach and cause injury to the child.
Attention: children not wearing seat belts can be thrown out of the car in the event of a traffic accident.
