For maximum safety, keep
the back of your seat up-

right, lean back into it and make sure
the seat belt fits closely across your
chest and hips. Make sure that the
seat belts of the front and rear pas-
sengers are fastened at all times! You
increase the risk of serious injury or
death in a collision if you travel with
the belts unfastened.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USING THE SEAT BELTS

The driver must comply with (and have
the car occupants follow) all the local le-
gal regulations concerning the use of seat
belts. Always fasten the seat belts before
starting.

Seat belts are also to be worn by expec-
tant mothers: the risk of injury in the case
of accident is greatly reduced for them and
the unborn child if they are wearing a seat
belt. Of course they must position the
lower part of the belt very low down so
that it passes under the abdomen (as il-
lustrated in fig. 6).

IMPORTANT The belt should not be twist-
ed. The upper part should pass over the
shoulder and cross the chest diagonally. The
lower part should adhere to the pelvis (as
shown in fig. 7) and not the abdomen of the
passenger. Do not use any objects (pegs,
stoppers, etc.) to keep the belts away from
the body.
