Operation of seat belts
The inertia reel stops the belt from unwinding during
sudden vehicle stops or when quickly pulling on the
belt. The locking function of the reel may be checked by
quickly pulling out the belt.
Unfastening of seat belts
Push the release button (3) in the belt buckle (2).
Allow the retractor to completely rewind the seat belt by
guiding the latch plate (1).
Warning!
USE SEAT BELTS PROPERLY.
• Seat belts can only work when used properly.
Never wear seat belts in any other way than as
described in this section, as that could result
in serious injuries in case of an accident.
• Each occupant should wear their seat belt at all
times, because seat belts help reduce the
likelihood of and potential severity of injuries
in accidents, including rollovers. The
integrated restraint system includes “SRS”
(driver airbag and front passenger airbag) and
“ETR” (seat belt emergency tensioning
retractors for the driver’s seat, passenger’s seat
and rear outboard passenger seats). The
system is designed to enhance the protection
offered to properly belted occupants in certain
frontal (front airbags) impacts which exceed
preset deployment thresholds.
