Fastening Seat Belts
1. Pull the seat belt over the body. The seat belt must
not be twisted or you could be injured.
2. Press the tongue into the buckle and make sure that
it is heard to engage.
3. The seat belt must be tight across the body. Check
this immediately after fastening the seat belt, and at
regular intervals during the trip.
If necessary, tension the lap belt by pulling the
shoulder strap up in front of the body.
WARNING!
A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of
internal injury in a collision. The belt forces won’t
be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across
your abdomen. Always wear the lap part as low as
possible and keep it snug.
In an accident a twisted belt cannot fufill its
protective function. In a collision it could even cut
into you. Be sure the belt is straight. If you cannot
straighten a belt in your vehicle, take it to an
authorized Sprinter dealer and have it fixed.
