Front belt height adjustment
To operate: Press the locking button and

Always check the anchorage point after
the seat has been adjusted to ensure that
the belt is correctly positioned.

Static test: Whilst seated, fasten the seat
belt and grip the shoulder belt at
approximately shoulder level with the
opposite hand. Pull the belt sharply
downwards, the belt should lock.
Road test: The following road test must
be carried out only under maximum safe
road conditions.
With the seat belt correctly fitted to the
driver and passenger(s), drive the vehicle
at 8 km/h and, ensuring that it is safe to
do so, brake sharply.
The seat belt(s) should lock automatically,
holding both driver and passenger(s)
securely in position.
It is important when braking that the
reactions of both driver and passenger(s)
are normal, that is, the body must not be
thrown forward in anticipation, thus
causing a snatching action of the belt
which would operate the locking
mechanism.
If the belt fails to lock on either test,
consult a Jaguar Dealer.

WARNING:
1. Seat belts are designed to bear
upon the bony structure of the
body, and must be worn low
across the front of the pelvis, or
the pelvis, chest and shoulder, as
applicable. Wearing the lap
section of the belt across the
abdominal area must be avoided.
Always ensure that the webbing is
midway between the neck and the
edge of the shoulder.
2. Seat belts should be adjusted as
firmly as possible, consistent with
comfort, to provide the protection
for which they have been
designed. A slack belt will greatly
reduce the protection afforded to
the wearer.
