Seat belts must therefore always be worn. 

The front airbag system serves to 

supplement the three-point seat belts. 

If you do not wear your seat belt you risk 

being seriously injured, or even thrown 

from the vehicle, in the event of an 

accident. 
In the event of an accident the belt helps 

to keep you in the correct seating 

position, so that the front airbag system 

can provide you with effective protection.
