Correct use of seat belts

Fastening the seat belt correctly

1. Adjust the sitting posture correctly.

2. Gently pull out the seat belt, route it across the chest and hip, and insert the tongue into the buckle until you hear and feel the latch engage.

3. Pull the seat belt in the opposite direction, confirming that the seat belt is locked securely.

4. Adjust the position of the seat belt.

Always route the shoulder belt over your shoulder. The belt should be away from your neck, but not falling off your shoulder.

The lap belt should be worn low across the pelvis.

Unfastening the seat belt

1. Hold the seat belt and press the red button next to the seat belt buckle, so the tongue will spring up automatically.

2. Slowly retract the seat belt back into the retractor.

DANGER

◆ Do not place the shoulder belt under the arm.

◆ The lap belt should be worn as low as possible across the pelvis, and if it is worn too high or is not properly tensioned, the occupant may suffer personal injury or even death due to body movement in the event of collision or other accident.

WARNING

◆ Never unfasten the seat belt when the vehicle is running or before the vehicle comes to a complete stop.

◆ After the tongue springs up, guide the seat belt back to retract slowly with hand, so as to prevent personal injury due to quick retraction of seat belt.

◆ For patients and disabled persons, please follow the doctor’s advice, and be sure to wear the seat belt. ◆ Do not place any item between the

body and the seat belt.

CAUTION

◆ If the seat belt cannot be retracted smoothly, check it for twist or deflection. If the seat belt assembly does not work properly, it is recommended to contact GAC Service Center for inspection and repair or replacement immediately.

Use of seat belt by pregnant occupants

For pregnant women, wearing a seat belt correctly can effectively reduce the injuries suffered by her and her fetus in case of collision or sudden stop.

The shoulder belt should be worn across the shoulder, and the lap belt should be worn low across the pelvis and away from the abdominal area. The seat belt must be worn smoothly, without exerting stress to the lower body of pregnant women.

DANGER

◆ The pregnant occupant should consult her physician to fasten the seat belt correctly.

◆ Be sure to wear the seat belt correctly, otherwise the pregnant woman and her fetus will be seriously injured or killed in case of emergency braking or collision.

WARNING

◆ Do not place any item between the body and the seat belt.
