One person per safety belt
Never allow more than one person to

wear a single safety belt. Never allow infants or
small children to ride on a passenger's lap.◀

Putting on the belt
Lay the belt, without twisting, snugly

across the lap and shoulders, as close to the
body as possible. Make sure that the belt lies
low around the hips in the lap area and does
not press on the abdomen. Otherwise, the belt
can slip over the hips in the lap area in a frontal
impact and injure the abdomen.
The safety belt must not lie across the neck,
rub on sharp edges, be routed over breakable
objects, or be pinched.◀

Reduction of restraining effect
Avoid wearing bulky clothing, and pull

the shoulder belt periodically to readjust the
tension. Make sure that the belt is not jammed;
otherwise, the belt can be damaged and the
restraining effect reduced.◀

Buckling the belt

Make sure you hear the latch plate engage in
the belt buckle.

Unbuckling the belt

1.

Hold the belt firmly.

2.

Press the red button in the belt buckle.

3.

Guide the belt back into its reel.

Safety belt reminder for driver's and

passenger's seat

The indicator lamp lights up and a sig‐
nal sounds. Make sure that the safety
belts are positioned correctly. The

safety belt reminder is active at speeds above
approx. 6 mph/10 km/h. It can also be activated
if objects are placed on the front passenger
seat.

Damage to safety belts

In the case of strain caused by accidents or
damage:
Have the safety belts, including the safety belt
tensioners, replaced and have the belt anchors
checked.

Checking and replacing safety belts
Have the work performed only by your

service center; otherwise, it cannot be ensured
that this safety feature will function properly.◀

creased risk of injury in an accident.◀

approximately at ear level.

Distance

is as close as possible to the back of the head.

the tilt of the backrest.
