Seat Belt Nonusage Warning System - Mercedes-Benz CL 55 AMG Operator's Manual

Warning!
The seat belts provide protection only with the
backrest locked in place. Do not drive the vehicle
when the backrest is not locked in place. If the
warning message "SEAT BACKREST LEFT – LOCK!"
or "SEAT BACKREST RIGHT – LOCK!" is displayed
in the multifunction display, then the respective
backrest is not engaged in its lock. For backrest see
page 72.
Never ride in a moving vehicle with the backrest
reclined. Sitting in an excessively reclined position
can be dangerous. You could slide under the seat
belt in a collision. If you slide under it, the belt
would apply force at the abdomen or neck. That
could cause serious or even fatal injuries. The
backrest and seat belt provide the best restraint
when the wearer is in an upright position and the
belt is properly positioned on the body.
