Fastening the seat belts
Proper use of seat belts
ț Do not twist the belt when fastening.
ț Adjust seat belt so that the shoulder
portion is located as close as possible
to the middle of the shoulder (it should
not touch the neck). Never pass the
shoulder portion of the belt under your
arm.
ț Position the lap belt as low as possible
on your hips (over hip joint) and not
across the abdomen.
ț Place the seat backrest in a nearly up-
right position.
ț Never use a seat belt for more than one
person at a time.
ț Do not fasten a seat belt around a per-
son and another object at the same
time. When using a seat belt to secure
infant restraint, toddler restraint, or
booster seat always follow the child
seat manufacturer’s instructions.
ț Check your seat belt during travel to
make sure that it is properly posi-
tioned.
ț Make sure the seat belt is always fitted
snugly. Take special care of this when
wearing loose clothing.

Seat belt height adjustment
The vehicle automatically adjusts the seat
belt height for the driver’s and front pas-
senger’s seats as well as for the rear outer
seats. Comply with the instructions on how
to properly fasten a seat belt
(
୴ page 360).
Warning! G
Do not pass belts over sharp edges. They
could tear.
Do not allow the belt to get caught in the
door or in the seat adjustment mechanism.
This could damage the belt.
Never attempt to make modifications to
seat belts. This could impair the effective-
ness of the belts.
Do not bleach or dye seat belts as this may
severely weaken them. In a crash, they may
not be able to provide adequate protection.
Damaged seat belts or belts that were highly
stressed in an accident must be replaced.
