The restraint system, with belt
pretensioners in the front seat, helps
to reduce the risk of serious injury in
a head-on collision. During a serious
crash the seat belts are pretensioned
to help reduce slack in the belt.
The pretensioners are triggered in
frontal and side collisions provided
the threshold is reached. In rear
collisions the pretensioners are not
triggered. The passenger s
pretensioner is also disabled if the
passenger s seat is empty, even if
the passenger s buckle is latched.
SEAT BELT REMINDER
When the vehicle s speed
exceeds 7 km/h (4 mph),
the seat belt reminder lamp
will illuminate and a chime will sound
if the driver s safety belt is unbuckled.
The chime will stop after 10 minutes.
The lamp will not go out until the
driver has fastened his/her safety
belt.
WARNING
Never sit on top of a buckled
safety belt to avoid the seat belt
reminder function. The restraint
system can only work properly if
passengers have buckled up their
safety belts.
Note: The seat belt reminder
remains in stand−by mode after the
driver has fastened his/her safety
belt. It will be reactivated if the driver
unbuckles his/her safety belt.
Occupant protection
Deactivating the seat belt
reminder

seconds with the ignition switched
on.
Contact your dealer to deactivate the
seat belt reminder permanently and
to reactivate it afterwards. Your
dealer will either provide you with the
relevant information or will carry out
the deactivation/reactivation for you.
