®
the PRE-SAFE convenience function. It is
used on the outer rear seats.

returns to its normal position. The seat belt
then lies tight across the lap and thorax areas.
Incorporation into the PRE-SAFE

hazardous situations. This pre-tensions the
seat belt.
Incorporation into the automatic meas-

Releasing seat belts
! Make sure that the seat belt is fully rolled
up. Otherwise, the seat belt or belt tongue
will be trapped in the door or in the seat
mechanism. This could damage the door,
the door trim panel and the seat belt. Dam-
aged seat belts can no longer fulfill their
protective function and must be replaced.
