⚠
Care must be taken with the positioning of the seat belt lock, so that the release catch
does not come into contact with vehicle components during driving or a collision.
⚠
The seat belt must not be held away from the body by vehicle components or parts, such
as the arm rest or wheel.

Positioning the seat belt when using a 4-point strap tie-down system
⚠
The lap belt should be positioned low across the front of the pelvis, thus forming an angle
that falls within the preferred or optional zone of 30° to 75°, as shown in the illustration. A
more abrupt (larger) angle within the preferred zone of 45° to 75° is desirable, but never more
than 75°
