3-6 Seats, restraints and interior
9 Warning
Always wear your seat belt, also
in urban traffic and when you are
a rear seat passenger. It can save
your life!
In the event of an accident, persons
not wearing seat belts endanger their
fellow occupants and themselves.
Control indicator X for driver's seat
belt reminder 3 5-9.
Seat belts are designed to be used by
only one person at a time. They are
only suitable for children aged up to
12 years or smaller than 150 cm if
used in conjunction with a child
restraint 3.
Belt force limiters
Load limiters on the front seats
reduce the impact on the seat
occupant's body from a tensioning
belt, in the event of frontal collisions
or rear impacts of a certain severity.
The belt force is controlled, to reduce
the risk of belt-inflicted injury.
Belt tensioners
The seat belt systems on the front
seats incorporate belt tensioners
housed in the belt buckles and seat
belt retractors.
In the event of frontal collisions or
rear impacts of a certain severity, belt
buckles and seat belt retractors
tighten the seat belts; the shoulder
and lap belts are instantaneously
tightened to fit the occupant's body
more snugly.
9 Warning
Improper handling (e.g. removal
or installation) can activate the
belt tensioners.
The belt tensioners actuate only once
and must be replaced after activation.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.
The belt tensioners only actuate
once, indicated by continuous
illumination of control indicator v in
the instrument cluster 3 5-9.
Deployed belt tensioners must be
replaced. Seek the assistance of a
workshop.
Accessories not released for your
vehicle type and other objects must
not be fixed or placed within the
action zone of the belt tensioners,
as they may result in injury if the
belt tensioners are triggered.
