Everyone in the car should wear a seat belt correctly at all times. Not doing so increases the chance and severity of injury in an accident. Check the belts regularly and have any fault fixed by an authorised Jaecoo service centre straight away.
Seat belt reminders
- Driver/front passenger not belted: below 15 mph (25 km/h) the red belt light comes on. At 15 mph (25 km/h) or more it flashes and a warning sounds.
- Rear passenger not belted: at 15 mph (25 km/h) or more the rear belt light flashes for a few seconds, then stays on, with a warning sound.
- Rear belt light: red for an unfastened seat, green once a rear belt is fastened; it goes out when all belts are fastened.

Wearing your belt
- 1Adjust the front belt height: press the adjuster button and slide it up or down.
- 2Pull the belt across you and push the tongue into the buckle until it clicks.
- 3Sit upright and well back. Place the lap belt as low as possible across your hips (not your waist), then pull the shoulder part up so it lies over the middle of your shoulder, away from your neck.
- 4To release, press the buckle button and guide the belt back. If it does not retract smoothly, pull it out and check for twists.
Note:A belt locks if you pull it out quickly or when the car is on a slope, but not when you pull it out slowly. One belt is for one person only – never put a belt around a child on someone's lap.
Caution:Make sure the buckle is correctly latched. Never use a belt with a loose buckle – it will not protect you in hard braking or a crash.
Caution:Avoid loose, bulky clothing that stops the belt fitting closely. Do not recline more than needed. Never put the shoulder belt under your arm. A lap belt worn too high or a slack belt can cause death or serious injury in a crash.
Caution:Children are best seated in the rear, always using a seat belt or a suitable child seat.
