To fasten the belt, pull it out of the reel and insert tongue 1 (Fig. 8) into lock 2 until it clicks, without allowing the straps to twist. To unfasten the belt, press button 3 of the lock.
The front seat belts have an adjustable height for the upper attachment point. To prevent the belt from touching your neck or pressing on your shoulder, use lever 4 to adjust the height of the upper attachment point. To increase the height, simply press the belt's decorative cover upwards.
Rear passengers are fastened with seat belts in the same way. The middle passenger is provided with only a lap belt.

Warning! When driving a car, always wear a seat belt and do not transport passengers who are not wearing a seat belt.
If the straps are dirty, clean them with a mild soap solution. Do not iron the straps. The belt must be replaced with a new one if it has been subjected to a critical load in a traffic accident or has abrasions, tears or other damage.
In the variant version, the cars are equipped with an airbag system. The airbag is an additional means of protection for the driver wearing a seat belt and is triggered in the event of a severe frontal collision of the car. When triggered, the airbag is filled with gas in a very short period of time and forms a ball, thereby significantly reducing the risk of injury to the driver's upper body and head. The presence of an airbag is indicated by the inscription "AIRBAG" on the steering wheel.
The airbag system (ASS) includes:
- driver airbag module with gas generator, located in the steering wheel;
- a rotating device mounted on the steering column switch connector;
- control and diagnostic unit of the SNPB, installed on the body floor tunnel under the instrument panel console;
- diagnostic indicator for the airbag failure in the instrument cluster.
The SNPB is activated in case of a frontal impact:
- starting from a certain severity of the accident;
- in the coverage area shown in Fig. 9.
Examples of situations with the activation of the SNPB:
- collision with a stationary non-deformable obstacle: the airbag is triggered at low speed;
- collision with a moving deformable obstacle (for example with another car): the airbag only deploys when the vehicle is moving at high speed;
- in the case of a sufficiently strong impact acting on the vehicle from the front, some examples are shown in Fig. 10.
The SNPB does not operate when:
- ignition off;
- low-speed frontal collisions;
- capsizing;
- side and rear collisions, i.e. in cases where it cannot contribute to improving driver safety.
There is virtually no risk of restricted visibility for the driver, as the airbag inflates and deflates at high speed.
The airbag provides optimum protection when the seat, seatback and headrest are correctly adjusted. The entire back should be supported by the seatback and the seat should be moved back as far as practicable so that the driver can hold the steering wheel with a slight bend in the elbows while sitting upright. Otherwise, when the airbag inflates, the driver may be thrown back against the seatback, which can result in serious injury or death. The airbag requires space when inflating.
The airbag is a stand-alone, single-use device and does not require maintenance during vehicle operation. After the airbag has been triggered, the control unit and the driver's airbag module must be replaced at service and sales network (SSSN) enterprises. At the same time, replace the seat belts that have been subjected to critical load.
Warning! 1. The airbag does not replace the seat belt, it only supplements its action, so always wear your seat belt. Those who do not use seat belts risk getting significantly more serious injuries in an accident or even being thrown out of the car, and the possibility of death is not excluded. The belt helps you to take the safest sitting position in an accident, in which the airbag can provide the greatest protection.
2. Never attach any objects to the steering wheel, as they may cause injury when the airbag inflates. The same danger exists when the driver smokes a pipe or uses a mobile phone while driving.
3. When driving, do not place your forearms/palms on the steering wheel, which contains the airbag.
4. The diagnostic indicator of the airbag system should turn on 6 times within 5.5 seconds after the ignition is turned on and then turn off. Subsequent activation of the diagnostic indicator during vehicle operation means that a malfunction has been detected in the airbag system and its operation in a frontal collision is not guaranteed.
5. Unauthorized interference with the fire safety system is prohibited. All work on it must be performed only at the fire safety system by specially trained personnel.
6. The gas that fills the airbag when it is inflated is hot. Under certain circumstances, the hot gas that comes out of the airbag when it is deflated can cause minor burns to your hands.
7. When the airbag deploys, the chemical reaction that occurs during inflation produces smoke. Skin surfaces that show signs of irritation should be washed thoroughly with mild soap and water. If the eyes are irritated, rinse them thoroughly with clean water for at least 20 minutes. If the discomfort persists, consult a doctor.
