144 Seat belts
WARNING
Adjust the height of the belt in such a way that the shoulder part of the belt is
positioned approximately across the middle of your shoulder - on no account
across your neck.
Note
It is also possible to adapt the routing of the belt webbing at the front seats by adjusting
the height of the seat.
Taking seat belts off
– Press the red button in the belt lock
of the lock to jump out.
– Guide the belt back with your hand to enable the inertia reel to wind up the belt
webbing more easily.
A plastic knob in the belt webbing holds the belt tongue in a position which is easy to
get hold of.
Three-point seat belt for the rear middle seat
The three-point seat belt for the rear middle seat is anchored in the area
of the luggage compartment on the left side of the headliner.
Your car is equipped as standard with the three-point seat belt

128. The spring force causes the tongue
Fastening the seat belt
– Pull the belt with both lock tongues out of the headliner mount.
– Insert the lock tongue at the end of the belt into the seat belt buckle on the left side
until it is heard to lock in place.
– Pull the second lock tongue, which is moveable on the seat belt, over the chest and
insert it into the belt buckle on the right side until it is heard to lock in place.
– Pull on the belt to check that both lock tongues are reliably engaged in the locks.
– The belt tongues for the rear middle seat are shaped differently so that they only fit
into the respective belt buckle. If you attempt to insert a lock tongue into the wrong
belt lock it will not lock.
Taking seat belt off
– Take off the seat belt in the reverse order to fastening.
WARNING

The three-point safety belt for the rear middle seat can only fulfil its func-
tion reliably when the backrests are correctly locked into position  page 74.

After releasing the seat belt hold it tight and let it slowly reel up until both
lock tongues lock into the headliner mount and are secured with a magnet - risk
of injury.

Never release simultaneously both tongues of the lock.
Belt tensioners
Safety for the driver and front passenger wearing their seat belts is enhanced by the
belt tensioners fitted to the inertia reels of the front three-point seat belts, in addition
to the protection afforded by the airbag system.
The three-point seat belts are automatically tensioned in the event of a frontal collision
of a certain severity. The belt tensioners can also be deployed if the seat belts are not
fastened.
The belt tensioner is deployed in the event of a frontal collision of major severity. A
powder charge is ignited in the inertia reels during deployment. The belt webbing is
pulled into the inertia reels by a mechanical system and the belt is tensioned.
