damage the door, door trim panels and the
seat belt. Damaged seat belts can no
longer provide the intended degree of
protection and must be replaced. Contact
an authorized Sprinter Dealer.
Belt warning for drivers and co-drivers
Regardless of whether the driver's and co-
driver's seat belts have already been
fastened, the 7 seat belt warning lamp
lights up for six seconds each time the engine
is started. It then goes out once the driver and
the front passenger have fastened their seat
belts.
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened after
the engine is started, an additional warning
tone will sound. The warning tone goes out
after approximately six seconds or once the
driver's seat belt is fastened.
