Safety belts
Seats with safety belt
Your vehicle has been fitted with five or seven
safety belts for your and your passengers'
safety. However, they can only offer protection
when adjusted correctly.
General information Always make sure that safety belts are being
worn by all occupants before driving off.
For the occupants' safety the belt locking
mechanism triggers early. Slowly guide the
belt out of the holder when applying it.
Although airbags enhance safety by providing
added protection, they are not a substitute for
safety belts.
The upper shoulder strap's anchorage point
will be correct for adult seat occupants of ev‐
ery build if the seat is correctly adjusted.
▷The two outer safety belt buckles,
integrated into the 2nd row of seats, are for
passengers sitting on the left and right.▷The center belt buckle of the 2nd row of
seats is solely intended for the center pas‐
senger.Information
WARNING
If the safety belt is used by more than
one person, the protective effect of the safety
belt cannot be ensured anymore. There is risk
of injuries or danger to life. Do not allow more
than one person to wear a single safety belt.
Infants and children are not allowed in an occu‐
pant's lap, but must be transported and re‐
spectively secured in designated child restraint
systems.◀
WARNING
The protective effect of the safety belts
can be limited or lost when safety belts are fas‐
tened incorrectly. An incorrectly fastened
safety belt can cause additional injuries, e.g. in
the event of an accident or during braking and
evasive maneuvers. There is risk of injuries or
danger to life. Make sure that all occupants are
wearing safety belts correctly.◀
WARNING
With a rear backrest that is not locked,
the protective function of the middle safety
belt is not guaranteed. There is risk of injuries
or danger to life. If you are using the middle
safety belt, lock the wider rear backrest.◀

your body as possible over your lap and
shoulders.▷Wear the belt deep on your hips over your
lap. The belt may not press on your stom‐
ach.▷Do not wear the belt on your throat, rub it
on sharp edges, guide it or jam it in across
hard or fragile objects.▷Avoid thick clothing.▷Re-tighten the belt frequently upward
