Releasing Seat Belts; Locking - Mercedes-Benz 2006 SLR McLaren Operator's Manual

Releasing seat belts

Press the seat belt release button
( page 47).
Allow the retractor to completely
rewind the seat belt by guiding the
latch plate.
!
Make sure the seat belt retracts fully so
that the seat belt and/or latch plate
cannot get caught or pinched in the
door or in the seat mechanism. This
can damage the seat belt and impair
the effectiveness of the seat belt,
and/or cause damage to the door
and/or door trim panel. Such damage
is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz
Limited Warranty.
Damaged seat belts must be replaced.
Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
