WARNING
• Make sure that the belt does not
become trapped when the backrest is
folded down or raised (see page 136).
• If cargo has to be placed on a seat, it
must be properly secured with the
safety belt. This reduces the risk of the
cargo being thrown about during hard
braking or a crash, which could cause
personal injury.
• Check that the belt is not twisted or
lying against sharp edges.
• Make sure you use the correct safety
belt buckle. The buckles for the center
and left-hand rear seats are close
together.
The three rear seats all have three-point
safety belts with inertia reels.
Fasten the belts by pulling the belt across
you and inserting the tongue into the buckle.
Check that it is securely fastened.
Grasp the shoulder belt close to the buckle
and pull the belt towards the shoulder to
tighten the lap belt part.
Rear safety belts, SportSedan and SportCombi
The belt must be as far in on the shoulder as
possible.
Press the red button on the buckle to
release the belt.
See page 266 for the checking of belt
function, cleaning, etc.
