Getting started
Driving
If necessary, tighten the lap portion to
a snug fit by pulling shoulder portion
up.
Proper use of seat belts
Do not twist the belt when fastening.
Adjust seat belt so that the shoulder
portion is located as close as possible
to the middle of the shoulder (it should
not touch the neck or pass under the
arm). For this purpose, you can adjust
the height of the belt outlet, see below.
Position the lap belt as low as possible
on your hips (over hip joint) and not
across the abdomen.
Place the seat backrest in a nearly up-
right position.
Never use a seat belt for more than one
person at a time.
Do not fasten a seat belt around a per-
son and another object at the same
time.

Check your seat belt during travel to
ensure it is properly positioned.
Make sure the seat belt is always fitted
snugly. You should avoid wearing bulky
clothing, such as winter coats, when
traveling in the vehicle.
Warning!
Do not pass belts over sharp edges. They
could tear.
Do not allow the belt to get caught in the
door or in the seat adjustment mechanism.
This could damage the belt.
Never attempt to make modifications to
seat belts. This could impair the effective-
ness of the belts.
Damaged seat belts or belts that were highly
stressed in an accident must be replaced.
Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Light
Truck Center.
Seat belt height adjustment
Adjust the height so that the upper part of
the belt runs over the middle of the shoul-
der.
