Adjusting side sections on
Comfort seat
Fold the side sections forward to provide
greater lateral support in the rest position.
Front head restraint, active*
The Comfort seats are equipped with an active
head restraint.
In the event of a sufficiently serious rear-end
collision, the active head restraint reduces the
distance between itself and the head.
Do not use seat or head restraint covers
or hang objects, e.g. coat-hangers, from
the head restraints or attach accessories to the
seat or head restraint; this will impair the pro-
tective function of the active head restraints,
thereby putting personal safety at risk.
<
Rear seats: adjusting height
Up: pull.
Down: press the button, arrow
1, and slide the
head restraint down.
Seat belts
Comply with the notes on page 42 , or
there may be a risk to your personal
safety. <
All occupants should always fasten their seat
belts before you set off. The airbags are a com-
plementary safety feature and not a substitute
for the seat belts.
Fastening
The seat belt buckle must be heard to engage.
Belt reminder for driver's and front
passenger's seat*
The indicator lamp comes on and an
acoustic signal sounds. In addition, a
message will appear on the control dis-
play. Please check whether the seat belt is fas-
tened correctly.
The 'Fasten seat belts' reminder is issued as
long as the driver's seat belt has not been fas-
tened. On certain national-market versions, the
'Fasten seat belts' reminder is also activated at
road speeds above approx. 8 km/h, approx.
5 mph, if the front passenger's seat belt is not
fastened, if heavy objects are placed on the
front passenger seat, or if the driver or front
passenger unfasten their seat belts.
