Therefore, it is important to maintain the vehicle regularly ac- cording to the provisions of the Maintenance Manual.

Correct sitting position Drivers who are not wearing seatbelts properly or are not wearing seatbelts are more likely to be seriously injured or killed in an accident. Only wearing the correct seat belt can give full play to the protective effect.
Incorrect sitting posture will inevitably lead to incorrect seat belt wearing parts, greatly reducing the protective effect of the seat belt, which may cause serious injury or even death in the event of an accident. If the air- bag is triggered at the same time, the airbag hits the car with the wrong sitting position, the injury will be more serious. Drivers must remind all oc- cupants at all times to wear seat belts and main- tain proper sitting posture.
