Seat belt reminder X 3 73.
Seat belts are only designed for use
by one person at a time. They are not
suitable for persons younger than 12
years of age or smaller than 150 cm
(59 inches).
Periodically check all parts of the belt
system for damage and proper
functionality.
Have damaged components
replaced. After an accident, have the
belts and triggered belt tensioners
replaced by a workshop.
Note
Make sure that the belts are not
damaged by shoes or sharp-edged
objects or trapped. Prevent dirt from
getting into the belt retractors.
Belt force limiters
In the front seats, stress on the body
is reduced by the gradual release of
the belt during a collision.
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 73.
Triggered belt tensioners must be
replaced by a workshop. Belt
Seats, restraints
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.
