Seatbelts
01
the vehicle as they drive (which means they
must be able to easily operate the foot ped-
als and steering wheel). Within this context,
they should strive to position the seat with as
large a distance as possible between their
abdomen and the steering wheel.
Seatbelt tensioner
Label on seatbelts with seatbelt tensioner.
All the seatbelts (except the centre rear belt)
are equipped with belt tensioners. A mecha-
nism in the belt tensioner tightens the seat-
belt around in the event of a sufficiently vio-
lent collision. This provides more effective re-
straint for passengers.
