General information
Always make sure that safety belts are being
worn by all occupants before driving off. Al‐

added protection, they are not a substitute for
safety belts.

be correct for adult seat occupants of every build
if the seat is correctly adjusted.

gle safety belt. Infants and children are not al‐
lowed on an occupant's lap, but must be trans‐
