Safety belts  
49n  
In the back, the middle safety belt  
buckle is provided for use exclu-  
sively by the middle passenger.  
If it is not possible to extract the center  
belt, this indicates that the larger back-  
rest is not securely locked, refer to  
page 126.<  
Safety belt memory for front seat  
Indicator lamp flashes or lights  
up. In addition, a signal sounds  
and, depending on the equip-  
ment, a message* appears in the  
Check Control. Please check safety  
belts for correct placement.  
Comply with the instructions on  
page 43. Failure to do so could  
result in diminished personal safety.<  
Safety belt height adjustment  
You can adjust the safety belts to fit  
your own physical dimensions by using  
the safety belt height adjustment:  
The belt memory is activated when the  
safety belt on the driver's side has not  
yet been fastened.  
The belt memory is also active from a  
speed of approx. 5 mph/8 km/h when  
the passenger belt has not yet been  
fastened, heavy objects are placed on  
the front passenger seat or passengers  
sitting in the front remove their safety  
belts.  
For every trip, use the safety belts on all  
occupied seats. Airbags complement  
the safety belt as an additional safety  
device, but they do not represent a sub-  
stitute.  
Slide the button up or down as  
required.  
Also observe the instructions on adjust-  
ing the seats on page 43.
