Seat belts are a mandatory accessory for a car, which in many cases allows you to avoid injuries and damage, they should always be used. Each belt is designed for only one person. When fastening, you must make sure that the belt is not loose, twisted or pressed by anything heavy.
Fastening the belts
Pull the belt smoothly out of the rack, insert the tongue of the tip into the lock and press it. You should hear a click. If you pull the belt out too quickly, it will jam. In this case, you need to loosen the belt tension and continue pulling it out again, but more smoothly.
The top of the fastened belt should go across the center of the shoulder, the bottom part should lie on the hips, not on the stomach.
To release the belt, press the red button on the lock: the tongue will pop out of the lock and the belt tape will return to the reel itself.
The belts provide the greatest safety when the seat back is in a nearly upright position.
Adjusting the height of the front seat belts
The belt should not be at neck level. To change the height of its fastening, press the button on the stand and fix the belt fastening in one of 4 positions.
Additional belt tensioning system
The improved system with additional belt tension significantly reduces the risk of injury in a collision. In an emergency, in addition to the usual inertia reel of the belt fixation, the additional belt tensioner system is activated. This system is activated together with the airbag. At the same time, the longitudinal position of the seat is locked, as a result of which the driver and front passenger are rigidly fixed relative to the body.
The additional tensioning system operates only in severe accident situations and does not operate in minor collisions. For more information, see the following paragraph.
Warning: If the seat belt system is faulty, it should ONLY be repaired at a Service Center.
