Audi Q3: Correct safety belt positioning
Fig. 58 Lap/shoulder belt positioning
Fig. 59 Safety belt positioning for pregnant women
Fastened safety belts only offer optimal protection
during an accident and reduce the risk of serious
injury or death when they are positioned
correctly. Furthermore, the correct safety belt
position holds the vehicle occupant in place so
that a deployed airbag can provide maximum
protection. Therefore, always fasten the safety
belt and make sure it is positioned correctly
fig. 58.
To ensure the safety belt is positioned correctly,
make sure of the following points:
- The lap portion of the safety belt must be located
across the lap.
- The shoulder portion of the safety belt must
rest over the center of the shoulder.
- The safety belt must always rest flat and securely
on the body.
For pregnant women, the safety belt must rest
evenly across the chest and as low and flat as
possible on the lap, so that no pressure is applied
to the lower abdomen. This should be done
throughout the entire pregnancy
fig. 59.
WARNING
Incorrect safety belt positioning can cause serious
injury in the event of an accident or during
sudden braking or driving maneuvers.
Note
Make sure that there are no hook-and-loop
fasteners or sharp objects such as zippers or rivets on clothing in the area
where the safety
belt is worn. Otherwise, the safety belt could
be damaged.
