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.
