wrong belt lock you probably tried to put it into the wrong buckle.

Belt tensioners

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 104.
Ð
Safety for the driver and front passenger wearing their seat belts is enhanced by
the belt tensioners fitted to the inertia reels of the front three-point seat belts.
The three-point seat belts are automatically tensioned in the event of a frontal
collision of a certain severity. The belt tensioners can also be deployed if the seat
belts are not fastened.
The fastened three-point seat belts are automatically tensioned in the event of a
frontal or side collision of a certain severity.
Belt tensioners are not activated in the event of minor frontal collisions, side and
rear-end collisions, in the case of a rollover and also not in accidents in which no
major forces are produced from the front.
WARNING
Any work on the belt tensioner system including removal and installation of
■
system components because of other repair work, must only be carried out by
a specialist garage.
The protective function of the system is only adequate for a single accident.
■
If the belt tensioners have been deployed, it is then necessary to replace the
entire system.
