(the buckle centred, the female part of the buckle on the right and the red
labels pointing downwards).
• Never disassemble the components of the belt or gas cartridge.
• Do not touch the electronic components and cables located in the textile
pocket behind the buckle. This could seriously damage the belt.
• Never buckle the belt when it is not being worn or when it is being charged
(risk of accidental triggering).
• Modification or removal of any of the original belt components will impair
the proper functioning of the airbag.
• Never wash the belt, only the protective cover is hand or machine washable
(30°).
• Not suitable for sports or activities that involve sudden or rapid body
movements. There is a high risk of accidental airbag activation.

risk of shifting, turning, lowering or removing the belt. The airbag may not
