Seat belts

Reduced protection
The AMG sport seat is designed for the standard
three-point seat belt. If you install a different
multipoint seat belt, e.g. sport or racing seat
belts, the restraint system cannot provide the
intended level of protection.
Depending on the type of seat, there may be
openings in the seat backrest. These openings
have no function.
& WARNING Risk of injury or fatal injury
due to modified seat belt systems
If you feed seat belts through the opening in
the seat backrest, the seat backrest may be
damaged or may even break in the event of
an accident.
Only use the standard three-point seat
#
belt.
Never modify the seat belt system.
