Belt tensioners
In the event of a head-on or rear-end
collision of a certain severity, the front
seat belts are tightened.
9 Warning
Incorrect handling (e.g. removal or
fitting of belts) can trigger the belt
tensioners with risk of injury.
Deployment of the belt tensioners is
indicated by illumination of control
indicator v 3 83.
Triggered belt tensioners must be
replaced by a workshop. Belt
tensioners can only be triggered
once.
Note
Do not affix or install accessories or
other objects that may interfere with
the operation of the belt tensioners.
Do not make any modifications to
belt tensioner components as this
will invalidate the vehicle type
approval.
Three-point seat belt
Fitting
Seats, restraints
Withdraw belt from retractor, guide it
untwisted across the body and insert
the latch plate in the buckle. Tension
the lap belt regularly whilst driving by
tugging the shoulder belt.
Loose or bulky clothing prevents the
belt from fitting snugly. Do not place
objects such as handbags or mobile
phones between the belt and your
body.
