WARNING (Continued)

■

The lock tongue should only be inserted into the lock which is the correct

one for your seat. Wrong use of the safety belt will reduce its capacity to

protect and the risk of injury increases.

■

The slot of the belt tongue must not be blocked, otherwise the belt

tongue will not lock in place properly.

■

Many layers of clothing and loose clothing (e. g. a winter coat over a jack-

et) do not allow you to be correctly seated and impairs proper operation of

the seat belts.

■

It is prohibited to use clamps or other objects to adjust seat belts (e. g. for

shortening the belts for smaller persons).

■

The seat belts for the rear seats can only fulfil their function reliably

when the seat backrests are correctly locked into position » page 72.

WARNING

Information on the care and maintenance of the safety belts

■

The belt webbing must always be kept clean. Soiled belt webbing may im-

pair proper operation of the inertia reel » page 138.

■

The seat belts must not be removed or changed in any way. Do not at-

tempt to repair the seat belts yourself.

■

Check the condition of all the seat belts on a regular basis. If any damage

to the seat belts, seat belt connections, inertia reel or the lock is detected,

the relevant seat belt must be replaced by a specialist garage.

■

Damaged seat belts which have been subjected to stress in an accident

and were therefore stretched, must be replaced – this is best done by a

specialist garage. The anchorage points of the belts must also be inspec-

ted. The anchorage points for the belts should also be checked.

Note

The national legal requirements must be observed when using seat belts.

The physical principle of a frontal collision

Fig. 4 Driver without a fastened seat belt/rear seat passenger without a

fastened seat belt

Read and observe on page 12 first.

As soon as the vehicle is moving, so-called kinetic energy (the energy of mo-

tion) is produced both in terms of the car as well as in terms of the occupants.

The magnitude of this kinetic energy depends essentially on the speed at

which the vehicle is travelling and on the weight of the vehicle including the

occupants. The greater the speed and weight increase, the greater the

amount of energy which has to be absorbed in the event of an accident.

The speed of the vehicle is the most important factor. Doubling the speed of

the vehicle from 25 km/h up to 50 km/hour increases the kinetic energy four

times.

The idea that it is possible to support your body with your hands in a minor ac-

cident is incorrect. Even in a collision at only a low speed, the forces acting on

the body are such that it is no longer possible to support your body.

Even if you only drive at a speed of 30-50 km/h, the forces that your body is

exposed to in the event of an accident can exceed a metric ton (1000 kg).

For example, a person's weight of 80 kg “increases” to 4.8 tons (4,800 kg) at

50 km/h.

In the event of a frontal collision, occupants of the car not wearing a seat belt

are thrown forward and strike parts of the interior of the car, such as the

steering wheel, dash panel, windscreen in ways which cannot be control-

led » Fig. 4 -

. In certain circumstances you could even be thrown out of the

vehicle, which could cause life threatening or even fatal injuries.
