Schroth Racing QuickFit And QuickFit Pro BMW E36 & E46 3 Series - Manual (Page 10)

3 Adjustment of the seating position
Choose your most comfortable seating position for safe driving.
Driving and safety instructors recommend:
"Select your seating position in the vehicle so that you can fully
grip the upper edge of the steering wheel with your elbow still
slightly bent and without moving your upper body from the
seatback. With the clutch (automatic transmission-brake) fully
depressed your knee should still be slightly bent."
Remember: A "laid back" seating position might look 'cool', but
does not contribute in any way to better or safer handling of
your vehicle! No racing or rallye driver is "laid back" in his
vehicle!

For BMW vehicles specified for use with
these SCHROTH BMW Rallye 4 Belts, the
shoulder belts must be routed between the
head rest posts.

distinct clicking sound.
To open: Depressing the red button marked "PRESS" will
open the buckle.

to the stop (1). Tilt the latch downwards and
remove it from the buckle (2).
6 How to adjust the belt

- 90° - to the belt and pull in
direction of the arrow (see

Pull the end of the strap in

SCHROTH offers accessory adjusting grips which can make the

7 Adjustment of the headrest and initial adjustment
of the tail strap
wrong way
wrong way right way
Belts must not have
any sag. The tail strap must
not be misdirected
by upholsteries or
the rear seat
cushions.
The headrest is
properly adjusted
and the shoulder
belts can move
freely without
slack.
a) After choosing the correct seating position, put the belt on
and adjust the lap belt so it fits tightly in the bend between
the pelvic crest and the upper thigh. The release buckle
should be located in the center in front of your body. If
necessary, lengthen the tail strap first.
b) Next adjust the shoulder belts: Make sure there is approx. 4
inches (10 cm) of loose belt protruding from each shoulder
belt adjuster.
c) One of the two shoulder belts should now be tight against
the shoulder; the other shoulder belt should be looser.
d) Tighten the looser shoulder belt until both shoulder belts
have the same pressure over the shoulders and in the
chest area.
Make sure the shoulder straps are properly adjusted whenever
the SCHROTH harnessbelt is worn.
For lap belt adjustment see following paragraph.
8 Putting on the belt
