Seat Belts and Emergency Ten­
sioning Retractor
Your vehicle is equipped with seat
belts for all seats and emergency ten­
sioning retractors for front seats. The
tensioning retractors are located in
each belt's inertia reel and become
operationally ready with the key in
steering lock position 1 or 2.
Seat belt warning buzzer and
reminder lamp:
With the key in steering lock posi­
tion 2, a warning buzzer sounds for a
short time if the driver's seat belt is not
fastened.
When someone enters the car the re­
minder lamp, located below the front
interior/reading lamp, flashes for a
short time to remind all occupants to
fasten seat belts.
Fastening:
• Pull belt with latch plate (1) over
shoulder and lap. Do not twist the
belt doing this.
• Push latch plate (1) into buckle (2)
until it clicks.
• Adjust front seat belts so the upper
belt is located as near 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.
