Mercedes-Benz 260 E 124 1988 Owner's Manual page 41

• S edan:
Adjust front seat belts so the upper
belt is located as close as possible
to the middle of the shoulder (it
should not touch the neck). For
this purpose, push button (4) and
raise or lower belt outlet (3 posi­
tions).
The belt must be pulled snug and
checked for snugness immediately
after engaging it and during driv­
ing. If necessary, tighten the lap
portion to a snug fit by pulling
shoulder portion up.
• Coupe:
When the respective door is closed
and the key is in steering lock
position 2, the seat belt extender
brings the belt forward within easy
reach of the occupant.
The seat belt extender returns to its
rest position when the seat belt is
buckled or when resistance to its
extension is encountered (e.g., ac­
cidental occupant contact).
If the seat belt is not buckled within
30 seconds, the seat belt extender
will return to its rest position.
This is also the case if the key is
turned to steering lock position 1
or 0 or if the door is opened.
Emergency operation:
If the electrical system fails, the ex­
tender arm and belt can be manually
pushed back into their rest position.
• The belt must be pulled snug and
checked for snugness immediately
after engaging it and during driv­
ing. If necessary, tighten the lap
portion to a snug fit by pulling
shoulder portion up.
The swivel fitting (mounted on the
lower anchoring point to facilitate
entering the vehicle) must point for­
ward when fastening the seat belt.
The pivot plate must face to the
rear with the seat belt extender in
the retracted position.
