A warning symbol is also displayed on the instru-
ment cluster.
When the speed exceeds approx. 24 km/h (15 mph)
a warning signal sounds and the red warning symbol
C in the instrument cluster flashes if the driver
side or occupied passenger side seat belts are not
fastened.
Rear seats
When the vehicle drives off, a seat belt status dis-
play for the rear seats appears for about 30 seconds
in the instrument cluster.
The green symbol A indicates that the person
sitting on this seat has fastened their seat belt.
The red symbol B indicates that the person sitting
on this seat has not fastened their seat belt, or no-
one is sitting on this seat. If a seat belt on the rear
seats is opened while driving, an acoustic warning
signal sounds and the relevant symbol turns red and
flashes for about 30 seconds .
Fastening seat belt
Fig. 172: Fastening seat belt
1. Assume a comfortable sitting position.
2. Adjust the backrest so that the seat belt always
rests on your upper body and runs across the
middle of your shoulder.
3. Grasp the seat belt latch and pull the belt in a
slow, continuous motion across your chest and
lap.
Information
The seat belt may be blocked if the vehicle is stand-
ing at an angle or if the seat belt is pulled out
abruptly.
The seat belt can also jam when accelerating or de-
celerating, when negotiating bends or on inclines.
4. Insert the belt latch into the appropriate seat-
belt buckle on the inner side of the seat until it
locks with an audible click.
5. Make sure that the seat belt is not trapped or
twisted and that it is not rubbing against sharp
edges.
6. Ensure that the horizontal section of the belt al-
ways fits snugly across the pelvis. Therefore,
after fastening the seat belt, always pull the di-
agonal part of the belt upwards.
Pregnant women: should position the lap belt as
low as possible across the pelvis and ensure that
it is not pressing against the abdomen.
7. Also pull on the diagonal section of the belt now
and again during the journey to ensure that the
horizontal section remains tight.
