12 Safety
Safety belts
Three-point inertia-reel safety belts are pro-
vided for all seats.
Research has established that it is danger-
ous for rear seat passengers not to wear
their safety belts.
Bear in mind that in certain states it is a legal
requirement for all occupants of the car to
wear a safety belt.
Safety-belt reminder
When the ignition is switched on, the ”fasten
belts” reminder will light up until the driver
fastens the safety belt. In addition an audi-
ble signal sounds for 6 seconds, or until the
driver fastens his belt.
WARNING
Safety belts must be worn at all times by
all car occupants.
Child safety, see page 19.
Check that the locking tongue is properly
locked in the belt lock.
WARNING
In the event of a crash, the rear-seat pas-
sengers can be thrown forward against
the front-seat backrests, imposing much
higher stresses on the front-seat passen-
gers and belts and resulting in needless
injury to everyone in the car.
WARNING
Adjustments of the safety belt should be
done when the car is stationary so that
attention to traffic is not reduced.
