POWER STEERING

A message on the information display accompanied by the illumination of the amber warning light indicates a power steering system malfunction. See page 60, GENERAL WARNING/INFORMATION MESSAGES (AMBER). This may be accompanied by a reduction in power steering effectiveness. A malfunction may be caused by overheating due to intensive use of the power steering or high ambient temperatures. Once the system has cooled down, the power steering functions should fully restore. If the power steering functions do not restore, consult your dealer/authorized workshop.

STEERING WHEEL WITH HEATED GRIP

Press to turn on the heated steering wheel. Press again to turn it off.

Seat Belts

USING SEAT BELTS

  1. Fastening the seat belt: Pull the belt smoothly, ensure the belt height is correct for you and the seat, and check your seating position.

WARNING: The seat belt is designed to transfer load to the human skeleton, so the lower part of the belt must be positioned across the pelvic bone, and the upper part across the chest and shoulder. Do not allow the belt webbing to lie across the abdomen.

WARNING: Users are prohibited from making modifications or upgrades that may prevent the seat belt adjustment devices from selecting the seat belt slack or from adjusting them. Seat belts provide protection when they fit snugly against the body without causing discomfort. The effectiveness of the belt is significantly reduced when the webbing is not snug against the body. Do not wear the belt with twisted webbing.

Each seat belt is intended for one person only: do not buckle a child in with an adult. Passengers and the driver must not recline their seatbacks more than 30 degrees from the vertical. Failure to do so will reduce the protection provided by the seat belts. There should be no hard, brittle, or sharp objects between you and the seat belt. This is dangerous in itself and reduces the effectiveness of the seat belt.

2. Fastening the seat belt: After putting on the seat belt correctly, insert the tongue into the buckle. Insert the locking clip into the buckle until it clicks. To release the seat belt, press the red button.

Note: If you need to release the belt, it is recommended to hold the belt while pressing the button. This prevents the belt from retracting too quickly.

3. Using seat belts during pregnancy: The lap belt should be positioned comfortably across the hips, below the abdomen. The diagonal strap should pass between the breasts and to the side of the abdomen. Pregnant women should pay attention to the correct positioning of the seat belt to avoid harming themselves or the unborn child. It is extremely dangerous to wear only the lap belt or only the diagonal strap, or to sit on the lap belt, as this significantly increases the risk of severe injury in the event of a collision or emergency braking. Do not place any objects under the belt to cushion the impact in the event of a collision. This is dangerous in itself and reduces the effectiveness of the seat belts. Ensure the belt is not slack or twisted.

4. Adjusting the seat belt anchor height: Press to release the catch. With the catch pressed, move the mechanism up or down to the desired height. Ensure the locking mechanism is engaged.

PRE-TENSIONERS FOR SEAT BELTS

Seat belt pre-tensioners, along with the passive safety system (SRS), provide additional protection in a frontal impact. They automatically select seat belt slack to reduce forward movement of the driver/front passenger.

Pre-tensioners operate only once and must then be replaced. Failure to do so will reduce the effectiveness of the SRS system in reducing the risk of serious injury or death in an accident.

After any collision, consult your dealer/authorized workshop for inspection and, if necessary, replacement of seat belts and pre-tensioners.

RULES FOR USING SEAT BELTS

Important: Pay attention to ensure that the belt webbing does not become contaminated with vehicle cleaning agents or interior care products, or come into contact with oils, chemicals, and especially electrolyte. Clean the belts using neutral soap and water. The belt must be replaced if it is worn, contaminated, or damaged. The belt must be replaced after it has been subjected to significant loads in a severe collision, even if there is no visible damage. In case of damage, wear, cuts, defects, or slackening of the seat belts, the vehicle should be taken to your dealer/authorized workshop for immediate inspection. Do not use the vehicle if the seat belts are not functioning correctly.

Important: There should be no hard, brittle, or sharp objects between your body and the fastened seat belt. All passengers and the driver must wear seat belts, regardless of the duration of the journey. It is extremely dangerous to wear only the lap belt or only the diagonal belt, or to sit on the lap belt, as this significantly increases the risk of severe injury in the event of a collision. If using seat belts to secure items, ensure that the belts are not damaged and do not pass over sharp edges.

SEAT BELT CHECKS

Note: If the vehicle is parked on a slope, the seat belt mechanism may lock. This is a safety feature. Carefully release the belt at the upper anchor point. Regular checks of the seat belts for abrasion, cuts, or wear of the webbing, as well as the condition and security of the mechanism, buckles, adjusters, and anchor points, should be carried out.

If any of the belts do not meet the above requirements, contact your dealer/authorized workshop immediately.

UNFASTENED SEAT BELT AUDIBLE WARNING

The unfastened seat belt warning indicator will activate if the vehicle is moving and the driver is not wearing a seat belt. Depending on the country, a tonal sound may be emitted, and a warning indicator may appear on the instrument panel. See page 61, SEAT BELT WARNING (RED). Visual and audible warnings associated with the unfastened seat belt warning indicator vary by market and are subject to their requirements. The warnings may also vary depending on whether the vehicle is stationary or moving above a certain speed threshold. In some markets, the unfastened seat belt indicator also applies to the front passenger seat belt.

The information display also shows indicators for unfastened front and rear seat belts, warning the driver when a passenger's seat belt is not fastened or has been unfastened while driving.

Note: Indicators will be displayed for 30 seconds each time the status changes, for example, when a seat belt is unfastened or fastened, or when a door is opened or closed.

Note: When carrying heavy luggage on the front passenger seat, an audible signal and the unfastened seat belt warning indicator may activate. It is recommended to secure all items on the front passenger seat with the seat belt.
