GETTING STARTED

SEAT  BELTS

• Each belt assembly must only be

used by one occupant. It is

dangerous to put a belt around a

child being carried on the

occupant’s lap.

• A belt that is buckled into the wrong

buckle will not protect you properly.

Always buckle your belt into the

buckle nearest you.

• A belt that is too loose will not protect

you as well. In a sudden stop, you

could move too far forward,

increasing the possibility of injury.

• A belt that is worn under your arm

is very dangerous. Your body could

strike the inside surfaces of the

vehicle in a collision. Wear the belt

over your shoulder.

• Be sure the belt is straight. If you

can’t straighten a belt, take it to your

nearest TATA authorized dealer.

• A frayed or torn belt could rip apart

in a collision and leave you with no

protection. Inspect the belt system

periodically, checking for cuts,

frays, or loose parts.Do not

disassemble or modify the system.

• If possible, use the seat belts to

secure heavy luggage that are to

be carried on the seats.

• Do not wear seat belts over hard,

sharp or fragile items in clothing,

such as pens, keys, spectacles etc.

• Care should be taken to avoid

contamination of the webbing with

polishes, oils and chemicals

especially battery acid. Cleaning

may safely be carried out using

mild soap and water.
