38 Occupant safety
The sports seat is designed for the standard
three-point seat belt. If you install another multi‐
point seat belt, e.g. sport or racing seat belts,
the restraint system cannot provide the best
level of protection as intended.
Depending on the seat model, there may be an
opening in the seat backrest. These openings
have no function.
& WARNING Risk of injury or fatal injury
due to modified seat belt systems
If you feed seat belts through the opening in
the seat backrest, the seat backrest may be
damaged or may even break in the event of
an accident.
Only use the standard three-point seat
#
belt.
Never modify the seat belt system.
