Correct use of safety belts
▷
▷
▷
Wear the safety belt twist-free and as tight
to your body as possible over your lap and
shoulders.
General information
Wear the safety belt deep on your hips
over your lap. The safety belt may not
press on your stomach.
Always make sure that safety belts are being
worn by all occupants before driving off. Al‐
though airbags enhance safety by providing
added protection, they are not a substitute for
safety belts.
Do not wear the safety belt on your throat,
rub it on sharp edges, guide it or jam it in
across hard or fragile objects.
Slowly guide the safety belt out of the holder
when fastening it.
▷
▷
Avoid thick clothing.
Re-tighten the safety belt frequently up‐
ward around your upper body.
The upper shoulder strap's anchorage point
will be correct for adult seat occupants of ev‐
ery build if the seat is correctly adjusted.
Buckling the safety belt
Safety information
WARNING
If the safety belt is used by more than
one person, the protective effect of the safety
belt cannot be ensured anymore. There is a
risk of injuries or danger to life. Do not allow
more than one person to wear a single safety
belt. Infants and children are not allowed on an
occupant's lap, but must be transported and
respectively secured in designated child re‐
straint systems.◀
Make sure you hear the latch plate engage in
the belt buckle.
To ease accessibility to the seat belt buckle, an
adjustable slider is available on the belt to help
position the buckle when not in use.
WARNING
The protective effect of the safety belts
can be limited or lost when safety belts are fas‐
tened incorrectly. An incorrectly fastened
safety belt can cause additional injuries, e.g., in
the event of an accident or during braking and
evasive maneuvers. There is a risk of injuries or
danger to life. Make sure that all occupants are
wearing safety belts correctly.◀
Unbuckling the safety belt
1. Hold the safety belt firmly.
2. Press the red button in the belt buckle.
3. Guide the safety belt back into its roll-up
mechanism.
WARNING
Safety belt reminder for driver's and
passenger's seat
With a rear backrest that is not locked,
the protective function of the middle safety
belt is not guaranteed. There is a risk of inju‐
ries or danger to life. If you are using the mid‐
dle safety belt, lock the wider rear backrest.◀
The indicator lamp lights up and a sig‐
nal sounds. Make sure that the safety
belts are positioned correctly. The

Correctly adjusted head restraint
General information
Belt tensioners or belt retractors were
modified.
Safety belts can be imperceptibly damaged in
the event of an accident. There is a risk of inju‐
ries or danger to life. Do not modify safety
belts, safety belt buckles, belt tensioners, belt
retractors or belt anchors and keep them
clean. Have the safety belts checked after an
accident at the dealer’s service center or an‐
other qualified service center or repair shop.◀

risk of injury to cervical vertebrae in the event
of an accident.

approximately at eye level.
Distance
Adjust the distance so that the head restraint
is as close as possible to the back of the head.

the tilt of the backrest.
Safety information
WARNING
A missing protective effect due to re‐
moved or not correctly adjusted head re‐
straints can cause injuries in the head and
neck area. There is a risk of injury. Install head
restraints on occupied seats prior to driving
and make sure that the center of the head re‐
straint supports the back of the head at eye
level.◀
Active head restraint
In the event of a rear-end collision with a cer‐
tain severity, the active head restraint automat‐
ically reduces the distance from the head.
In the event of wear and tear due to an acci‐
dent, or if otherwise damaged, have the active
head restraint checked and if necessary re‐
placed
WARNING
Body parts can be jammed when moving
the head restraint. There is a risk of injury.
