airbags supplement the seat belts as an ad-  
ditional safety device. The airbags do not re-  
place seat belts.  
Warning  
The protective effect of safety gear, including  
seat belts, may not be fully operational or fail  
in the following situations:  
All seat belt anchorage points are designed to  
achieve the best possible protective effect for  
the seat belts when used properly and with the  
correct seat settings.

were modified.  
The center seat belt buckle of the rear seats is  
intended for the person sitting in the middle.  
Seat belts can be imperceptibly damaged in  
the event of an accident. There is a risk of  
injury or danger to life. Keep clean and do  
not modify: seat belts, seat belt buckles, seat  
belt tensioners, seat belt winders, and seat  
belt anchors. After an accident, have the seat  
belts checked by an authorized service center  
or another qualified service center or repair  
shop.  
Additional information:  
Notes on sitting safely, refer to page 111.  
Safety information  
Warning  
Use of a seat belt to buckle more than one  
person will potentially defeat the ability of  
the seat belt to serve its protective function.  
There is a risk of injury or danger to life.  
Do not strap in more than one person per  
single seat belt. Infants and children are not  
allowed on an occupant's lap, and must be  
transported and secured in designated child  
restraint systems.  
Correct use of seat belts  
Wear the seat belt tight to your body over  
your lap and shoulders, without twisting it.  
Wear the seat belt deep on your hips over  
your lap. The seat belt must not press on  
your stomach.  
Do not rub the seat belt against sharp  
edges, or guide it or jam it in across hard  
or fragile objects.  
Warning  
Avoid thick clothing.  
The protective effect of safety gear, including  
seat belts, can be limited or lost when seat  
belts are fastened incorrectly. An incorrectly  
fastened seat belt can cause additional inju-  
ries, for instance in the event of an accident,  
braking or evasive maneuvers. There is a risk  
of injury or danger to life. Make sure that all  
occupants are wearing seat belts correctly.  
Re-tighten the seat belt frequently upward  
around your upper body area.
