the belt from fitting properly and pull
the belt in the upper body area periodi-
cally to readjust the tension in order to
avoid a reduction in the restraint of the

If the middle safety belt in the rear is
used, the wider seatback must be
locked, refer to page
124 , otherwise the
safety belt has no restraining action.
Fasten safety belt, refer to page 49 .
Note before adjusting
Never try to adjust your seat while
operating the vehicle. The seat
could respond with unexpected move-
ment and the ensuing loss of vehicle
control could lead to an accident. On
the front passenger side as well, do not
tilt the backrest too far toward the rear
while driving. Failure to observe this
precaution can prevent the belt from
providing effective protection against
injury, as the passenger could slide
under the belt in an accident.

Also observe the information on the
safety belts on page
49 and on the
head restraints on page 47 .
