your lap and shoulders, without twisting it.
▷
Wear the seat belt deep on your hips over
your lap. The seat belt must not press on
your stomach.
Warning
The protective effect of safety gear, including
seat belts, can be limited or lost when seat
belts are fastened incorrectly. An incorrectly
fastened seat belt can cause additional inju-
ries, for instance in the event of an accident,
braking or evasive maneuvers. There is a risk
of injury or danger to life. Make sure that all
occupants are wearing seat belts correctly.
▷
Do not rub the seat belt against sharp

and hip to put it on.
Warning

danger to life. If you are using the middle seat
belt, lock the wider rear seat backrest.

buckle. The seat belt buckle must engage
audibly.
Warning
The protective effect of safety gear, including
seat belts, may not be fully operational or fail

the event of an accident. There is a risk of
injury or danger to life. Keep clean and do
