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.
As soon as the message on the control dis-
play disappears, the calibration is complete.
If the message remains active, repeat the cali-
bration.
If the message is still shown after repeated
calibration, have the vehicle checked by an
authorized service center or another qualified
service center or repair shop.
Warning
Seat belts
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.
General information
The vehicle is fitted with five seat belts to en-
sure occupant safety. However, they can only
offer protection when adjusted correctly.
Always make sure that seat belts are being
worn by the occupants before driving off. The
airbags supplement the seat belts as an ad-
ditional safety device. The airbags do not re-
place seat belts.
Warning
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.
With a rear seat backrest that is not locked,
the protective effect of the middle seat belt
is not guaranteed. There is a risk of injury or
danger to life. If you are using the middle seat
belt, lock the wider rear seat backrest.
The two outer seat belt buckles of the rear
seats are intended for the persons sitting on
the left and right.
Warning
The center seat belt buckle of the rear seats is
intended for the person sitting in the middle.
The protective effect of safety gear, including
seat belts, may not be fully operational or fail
in the following situations:
Additional information:
Notes on sitting safely, refer to page 103.
