Belt warning for the driver and front

passenger

Every time the engine is started, the 7

seat belt warning lamp lights up for six sec-

onds. It lights up regardless of whether the

driver's and front-passenger seat belts have

already been fastened. If the driver's and

front-passenger seat belts have already been

fastened, the 7 seat belt warning lamp

then goes out.
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened when

the engine is started, an additional warning

tone will sound. This warning tone stops after

a maximum of six seconds or once the driv-

er's seat belt is fastened.
If after six seconds, the driver or front

passenger have not fastened their seat belts

and the doors are closed:

the 7 seat belt warning lamp remains lit

as long as the driver's or front-passenger's

seat belt is not fastened
and

if a vehicle speed of 15 mph (25 km/h) is

exceeded, the 7 seat belt warning lamp

begins to flash. A warning tone also sounds

with increasing intensity for a maximum of

60 seconds or until the driver or front

passenger have fastened their seat belts.

If the driver/front passenger unfasten their

seat belt while the vehicle is in motion, the

7 seat belt warning lamp lights up and a

warning tone sounds again.
The warning tone ceases even if the driver or

front-passenger seat belt has still not been

fastened after 60 seconds. The 7 seat belt

warning lamp stops flashing but remains illu-

minated.
After the vehicle comes to a standstill, the

warning tone is reactivated. The 7 seat

belt warning lamp flashes again if the vehicle

speed exceeds 15 mph (25 km/h).
The 7 seat belt warning lamp only goes

out if:

both the driver and the front passenger

have fastened their seat belts.
or

the vehicle is stationary and a door is open.

belt warning lamp, see "Warning and indi-

cator lamps in the instrument cluster, seat

belts" (

WARNING

Pyrotechnic Emergency Tensioning Devices

that have been deployed are no longer opera-

tional and are unable to perform their inten-

ded protective function. This poses an

increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Therefore, have pyrotechnic Emergency Ten-

sioning Devices which have been triggered

immediately replaced at a qualified specialist

workshop.

If the front-passenger seat is not occu-

pied, do not engage the seat belt tongue in

the buckle on the front-passenger seat.

Otherwise, the Emergency Tensioning

Device could be triggered in the event of an

accident.
