Rear seat belts

Rear seat belts 8

The belts are fastened, unfastened and adjusted in the same way as the front belts.

Check that the rear seat belts are positioned and operating correctly each time the rear bench seat is moved.

The following information applies to the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts.

No modification must be made to the originally-fitted restraint system components (seat belts, seats and their mountings). For special operations (e.g. fitting a child seat), please contact an approved dealer.
Do not use devices which give any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.), as a seat belt which is worn too loosely risks causing injury in the event of an accident.
Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.
Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your lap with your seat belt around them.
The belt should never be twisted.
Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if necessary. Always replace your seat belts as soon as they show any signs of wear.
When the rear bench seat is being put back, make sure that the seat belts and buckles are correctly positioned so that they can be used properly.
Make sure that the seat belt buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.
Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch as they could prevent it from being properly secured.
Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be hidden away, crushed or flattened by people or objects).
