Seatbelts
01
Seatbelt reminder
Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fas-
ten their seatbelts by means of an audio and
visual reminder. The audible reminder is
speed dependent, and in some cases time
dependent. The visual reminder is located in
the roof console and in the combined instru-
ment panel.
Child seats are not covered by the seatbelt
reminder system.

Rear seat
The seatbelt reminder in the rear seat has two
subfunctions:
•
Provides information on which seatbelts
are being used in the rear seat. A mes-
sage appears in the combined instrument
panel when the seatbelts are in use, or if
one of the rear doors has been opened.
The message is cleared automatically
after driving for approximately
30 seconds or after pressing the indicator
stalk's OK button.
•
Provides a warning if one of the rear seat-
belts is unfastened during travel. This
warning takes the form of a message in
the combined instrument panel along with
the audio/visual signal. The warning stops
when the seatbelt is re-fastened, or it can
also be acknowledged manually by
pressing the OK button.
The message in the combined instrument
panel showing which seatbelts are in use is
always shown. Press the OK button to see
stored messages.
Certain markets
An acoustic signal and indicator lamp remind
the driver and front seat passenger to use a
seatbelt if either of them is not wearing one.
At low speed, the audible reminder will sound
for the first 6 seconds.
Seatbelt tensioner
All the seatbelts are equipped with belt ten-
sioners. A mechanism in the seatbelt ten-
sioner tightens the seatbelt in the event of a
sufficiently violent collision. The seatbelt then
provides more effective restraint for the occu-
pants.
WARNING
Never insert the tongue of the passenger's
seatbelt into the buckle on the driver's
side. Always insert the tongue of the seat-
belt into the buckle on the correct side. Do
not make any damages on seatbelts nor
insert any foreign objects into a buckle.
The seatbelts and buckles would then
possibly not function as intended in the
event of a collision. There is a risk of
serous injury.
