Safety belts
General information
The vehicle is fitted with five safety belts to en‐
sure occupant safety. However, they can only
unfold their protective effect when adjusted cor‐
rectly.
Always make sure that safety belts are being
worn by all occupants before driving off. Al‐
though airbags enhance safety by providing
added protection, they do not replace safety
belts.
All belt fastening points are designed to achieve
the best possible protective effect of the safety
belts with proper use of the safety belts and cor‐
rect seat setting. Follow notes on sitting safely,
refer to page 82.
The two outer safety belt buckles of the rear seat
are intended for the persons sitting on the left
and right.
The center safety belt buckles of the rear seat
are intended for the persons sitting in the middle.

Safety information
Warning
Use of a safety belt to buckle more than one
person will potentially defeat the ability of the
safety belt to serve its protective function.
There is a risk of injuries or danger to life. Do
not allow more than one person to wear a sin‐
gle safety belt. Infants and children are not al‐
lowed on an occupant's lap, but must be trans‐
ported and secured in designated child
restraint systems.
Warning
The efficacy of safety gear, including safety
belts, can be limited or lost when safety belts
are fastened incorrectly. An incorrectly fastened
safety belt can cause additional injuries, for in‐
stance in the event of an accident, braking or
evasive maneuvers. There is a risk of injuries or
danger to life. Make sure that all occupants are
wearing safety belts correctly.
Warning
With a rear backrest that is not locked, the pro‐
tective function of the middle safety belt is not
guaranteed. There is a risk of injuries or danger
to life. If you are using the middle safety belt,
lock the wider rear seat backrest.
Warning
The efficacy of safety gear, including safety
belts, may not be fully functional or fail in the
following situations:
▷ The safety belts or safety belt buckles are
damaged, soiled, or changed in any other
way.
▷ Belt tensioners or belt retractors were
modified.
