Function of the seat belt warning system for
driver and co-driver
The ü seat belt warning lamp in the Instru‐
ment Display reminds you that all vehicle occu‐
pants must fasten their seat belts correctly.
A warning tone may also sound.
The seat belt warning goes out when the driver's
seat belt is fastened. Depending on the vehicle's
equipment the seat belt warning may go out as
soon as the driver's and co-driver seat belts are
fastened.

the driver's seat belt is already fastened, the
ü seat belt warning lamp comes on for six
seconds every time after switching on the igni‐
tion. After the engine is started, it goes out as
soon as the driver's seat belt is fastened.
