Seat belts

General
For the safety of the vehicle occupants, the ve-hicle is equipped with five seat belts. However, the seat belt can only provide a protective effect when worn correctly.
Before each journey, always make sure that all occupants have fastened their seat belts. The airbags supplement the seat belts as an additional safety device. The airbags are not a substitute for the seat belts.
All belt fastening points are designed to achieve the best possible protective effect of the seat belts with proper use of the seat belts and correct seat settings. For notes on sitting safely, see page 114.
The two outer seat belt buckles on the rear seats are intended for those sitting on the left and right.
The inner seat belt buckle on the rear seats is intended for the person sitting in the middle.

Safety information

WARNING
If a seat belt is used by more than one person at the same time, the protective effect of the seat belt is no longer guaranteed. There is a danger of injury or danger to life. Only one person should use each seat belt at any one time. Do not allow infants and children to travel on the lap of another occupant. Instead, secure the infant or child in child restraint systems intended for this purpose.

WARNING
The protective effect of the seat belts may be restricted or may even fail if the seat belts are worn incorrectly. If a seat belt is not worn correctly, additional injuries can be caused, for example in the event of an acci-dent, braking or avoidance manoeuvre. There is a danger of injury or danger to life. Make sure that all vehicle occupants have fastened their seat belts correctly.

WARNING
Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body and should be worn low across the front of the pelvis, or the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable. Wearing the lap section of the belt across the abdominal area must be avoided.
Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as possible, consistent with comfort, to provide the protection for which they have been designed. A slack seat belt will greatly reduce the protection afforded to the wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the seat belt strap by polishes, oils and chemicals and particularly battery acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out using
a mild soap and water solution. The seat belt should be replaced if the seat belt strap becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged. Seat belts should not be worn with straps twisted. Each seat belt assembly must only be used by one occupant; it is forbidden to put a belt around a child being carried on the occupant’s lap.
It is essential to replace the entire seat belt assembly after it has been worn in a severe impact even if damage to the assembly is not obvious.

WARNING
No modifications or additions should be made by the user that will either prevent the seat belt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack or prevent the seat belt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack.

WARNING
If the rear seat backrest is not locked, the protective effect of the middle seat belt is not ensured. There is a danger of injury or danger to life. Lock the wider rear seat backrest when using the middle seat belt.

WARNING
The protective effect of the seat belts may be restricted or may even fail in the following situations:

• If the seat belts or seat belt buckles are damaged, dirty or have been modified in another way.
• The seat belt tensioners or belt retractors have been modified.

Seat belts can be damaged in an accident without the damage necessarily being apparent. There is a danger of injury or danger to life. Do not modify the seat belts, seat belt buckles, seat belt tensioners, belt retractors, or belt anchor points, and ensure that they are kept clean. After an accident, have the seat belts inspected by an authorised Service Partner another qualified Service Partner or a specialist workshop.

Correct seat belt use

• Place the seat belt tightly over the pelvis and shoulder, close to the body and without twisting.
• Make sure that the seat belt is positioned low at the hips in the area of the pelvis. The seat belt must not be pressed on the abdomen.
• The seat belt must not be allowed to rub against sharp edges, be routed over solid or breakable objects or be trapped.
• Avoid wearing bulky clothing.
• Keep the seat belt taut by occasionally pulling upwards on the upper body area.

Setting for automatic retracting seat belts

• Draw the seat belt tongue attached to the seat belt across the body and press it into the seat belt buckle until a ‘click’ is heard.
• Adjustment of the belt length is very important. To adjust the lap belt and check whether the seat belt buckle has locked correctly, pull upwards on the shoulder strap until the lap belt fits tightly.
• The length of the diagonal shoulder strap adjusts itself automatically to allow freedom of movement.
• To release the seat belt, press the button on the seat belt buckle.

Fastening the seat belt

1. When fastening the seat belt, guide it slowly over the shoulder and pelvis.
2. Insert the seat belt tongue in the seat belt buckle. The seat belt buckle must be heard to engage.
   

Unfastening the seat belt
