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, see fig. 4.

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 and not

the abdomen of the passenger, see

fig. 5. Do not use any objects (pegs,

stoppers, etc.) to keep the belts away

from the body.
