Using the belts
Fitting the belt
Pull the belt out evenly from the retractor
and guide it over the shoulder, making
certain that it is not twisted.
Insert the latch plate into the buckle.
The seat backrest must not be tilted back
too far (the recommended maximum tilting
angle is approx. 25°).
The lap belt must not be twisted and must
fit snugly across the body. Tension the belt
frequently whilst driving by tugging the
diagonal part of the belt. Keep knees pointing straight forward so
that driver’s side knee bolsters can help
prevent submarining under the seat belt in
the event of a collision.
Bulky clothing prevents
the belt from fitting
properly. The belt must not rest against
hard or fragile objects in the pockets of
your clothing (e.g. ballpoint pens, keys,
spectacles) because these could cause
injury in the event of a collision. Do not
place any objects (e.g. handbags) between
the belt and your body. Front passenger’s seat belt reminder
k3Illuminates for approx. 4 seconds when
ignition is switched on.
When the engine is running, if the front
passenger’s seat is occupied and the belt is
not engaged, the control indicator will
flash for approx. 90 seconds and then
illuminate until the
belt is fastened
correctly (control indicator will extinguish
immediately).
If vehicle speed exceeds approx. 22 km/h
(14 mph), the control indicator will flash for
approx. 90 seconds along with a warning
chime, and then illuminate until front
passenger’s seat belt is fastened.
Control indicator X for driver’s seat belt
reminder - see page 72.9 Warning
On pregnant women in particular,
the lap belt must be positioned as low as
possible across the pelvis in order to
prevent pressure on the abdomen.

accessories, e.g. el
ectrical charging
devices or batteries.
Connected electrical accessories must
comply with the EC standard in terms of
electromagnetic compatibility
requirements laid down in DIN VDE 40 839,
otherwise vehicle malfunctions may occur.
The use of non-authorised accessories may
cause damage to the socket.Assist grips
