Lap belt in rear passenger compart
ment:
Pull belt with latch plate (1) across
the lap, and push latch plate into
buckle (2) until it clicks. The belt must
not be twisted and must be tight.
To shorten the belt, pull belt end with
the tongue engaged. To lengthen the
belt, turn the latch plate so that it is at
a little more than 90° to the belt and
pull before fastening the belt.
To disengage the belt, push red
button (3) in the buckle.
Note:
Rear seat passengers should always
wear seat belts — for their own pro
tection and to avoid endangering the
driver and front passenger with their
unrestricted forward movement.
No seat belt can be used for more
than one person. Children under the
age of six or under the weight of
23 kg/50 lb should be seated in the
back seat with an approved restraint
system properly secured.
After an accident, inspect the seat
belts and replace them, if required.
Child restraint systems recom
mended by us can be fastened to the
seat belts installed. Any
MERCEDES-BENZ dealer will gladly
advise you accordingly.
The belt anchors in the vehicle should
also be checked.
Belts must not be routed via sharp
edges.
Replace damaged seat belts
immediately.
No modifications which may affect the
efficiency of the belts must be made.
