distinct snapping sound is heard. The seat belt retractor is normally "unlocked" and you can move freely,
provided that the shoulder belt is not pulled out too far. The retractor will lock up as follows:
●
if the belt is pulled out rapidly
●
during braking and acceleration
●
if the vehicle is leaning excessively
●
when driving in turns
In order for the seat belt to provide maximum protection in the event of an accident, it must be worn
correctly. When wearing remember:
●
The belt should not be twisted or turned.
●
The lap belt must be positioned low on the hips (not pressing against the abdomen). Make sure that
the shoulder belt is rolled up into its retractor and that the shoulder and lap belts are taut.
