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.
7 Putting on the belt
a) First turn on the ignition to activate and release the
retractor mechanism. There is no need to start the
engine!
• For your safety the retractor will lock at any time the
ignition is turned off or whenever power to the retractor is
interrupted.
b)
After choosing the correct seating position, put on the belt
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.

Improper fit of any lap belt can cause serious personal
injury or death.
• ALWAYS make sure that the lap belt is tightly adjusted.
A lap belt in a harness or 3-point system that is too
loose will impair the performance of the system.
• The lap belt must fit tightly in the bend between the
pelvic crest and the upper thigh!
• Make sure belt is properly adjusted when a different
person uses the belt or each time the seat is readjusted.
(Heed WARNING on adjuster.)
• In order to get an even tighter fit of the lap belt, we
recommend that you move your seat back a little, adjust
the length of your belt as described above and move the
seat forward to its normal position. This will help to tighten
the lap belt even more. This recommendation does not
apply when both attachment points of the lap belt are
mounted directly to a seat on a sliding track and runner
system, rather than one attached directly to the floor.
b)
Adjust the length of the inboard shoulder belt until both
belts exert equal pressure against the upper torso.

8 Using of the rear seats
Never wear the SCHROTH harnessbelt if any rear seating
position is occupied. Both front seat occupants must then
use original equipment 3-point belts. The rear seat
occupant could interact with the tail strap of the SCHROTH
harnessbelt during an accident and cause serious injury to
himself or to the wearer of the harness belt.
