Safety belts Seats with safety belt The vehicle has five seats, each of which is equipped with a safety belt. Number of safety belts Your vehicle has been fitted with five safety belts for the safety of you and your passengers. How‐ ever, they can only offer protection when ad‐ justed correctly. Notes Always make sure that safety belts are being worn by all occupants before driving away. Although airbags enhance safety by providing added protection, they are not a substitute for safety belts. ▷ The shoulder strap's anchorage point will be


correct for adult seat occupants of every build if the seat is correctly adjusted.


▷ The two outer safety belt buckles,


integrated into the rear seat, are for passen‐ gers sitting on the left and right.


▷ The center rear seat belt buckle is solely in‐


tended for the center passenger.


One person per safety belt Never allow more than one person to wear a single safety belt. Never allow infants or small children to ride on a passenger's lap.◀

Checking and replacing safety belts Have the work performed only by your


service center; otherwise, it cannot be ensured that this safety feature will function properly.◀


Front head restraints Correctly adjusted head restraint A correctly adjusted head restraint reduces the risk of injury to cervical vertebrae in the event of an accident.


Adjusting the head restraint Correctly adjust the head restraints of all occupied seats; otherwise, there is an increased risk of injury in an accident.◀


Height Adjust the head restraint so that its center is ap‐ proximately at ear level. Distance Adjust the distance so that the head restraint is as close as possible to the back of the head. If necessary, adjust the distance by adjusting the tilt of the backrest.


Putting on the belt Lay the belt, without twisting, snugly


across the lap and shoulders, as close to the body as possible. Make sure that the belt lies low around the hips in the lap area and does not press on the abdomen. Otherwise, the belt can slip over the hips in the lap area in a frontal im‐ pact and injure the abdomen. The safety belt must not lie across the neck, rub on sharp edges, be routed over solid or breaka‐ ble objects, or be pinched.◀


Reduction of restraining effect Avoid wearing clothing that prevents the belt from fitting properly, and pull the shoulder belt periodically to readjust the tension across your lap; otherwise, the retention effect of the safety belt may be reduced.◀


Buckling the belt


Make sure you hear the latch plate engage in the belt buckle.


Unbuckling the belt 1. Hold the belt firmly. 2. Press the red button in the belt buckle. 3. Guide the belt back into its reel. Safety belt reminder for driver's seat and front passenger seat
