Vehicles with an AMG performance seat: if the
front passenger seat is unoccupied, this can lead
to noise caused by the seat belt tongue knocking
against the seat. You can prevent this by sliding
the seat belt tongue upwards with the belt clip. If
the front passenger seat is occupied, ensure that
the belt clip is pushed down. Only then will the
seat belt fit snugly against the body.
