First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings →Introduction 
The seat belt height adjusters for the front seats can be used to adjust the position of the seat belt on the shoulder so that it can be fastened
properly:
Push the shoulder belt guide together in the direction of the arrows and hold  → Fig. 58 .
Push the shoulder belt guide up or down so that the seat belt lies over the middle of the shoulder  → Seat belt routing   .
Let go of the shoulder belt guide.
Pull sharply on the seat belt to check whether the shoulder belt guide is engaged securely.
Automatic belt retractor, belt tensioner, belt tension limiter
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings →Introduction 
The seat belts in the vehicle are part of the vehicle safety concept  → Airbag system   and include the following important functions:
Automatic belt retractor
The seat belts on the driver seat and front passenger seat, as well as those on the outer rear seats (and on the middle rear seat, depending on
the level of vehicle equipment), are fitted with an automatic belt retractor at the shoulder part of the seat belt. Full freedom of movement is made
possible when the shoulder belt is pulled slowly or when the vehicle is travelling at normal speeds. However, if the belt is pulled out quickly or
during sudden braking, during travel in mountains or bends and during acceleration, the automatic belt retractor is locked.
Belt tensioners
The seat belts for the front seat occupants are equipped with belt tensioners.
The belt tensioners are activated by sensors during severe frontal, side and rear collisions. They tighten the seat belts against the direction in
which they are pulled. Any slack in the seat belt is retracted, which can reduce the passenger's movement forwards or in the direction of the
impact. The belt tensioner works together with the airbag system. If the side airbags or the combined curtain airbags are not activated, the belt
tensioner will not be activated in the event that the vehicle rolls over.
A fine dust may be produced when the airbags are triggered. This is quite normal and does not mean that there is a fire in the vehicle.
Never adjust the seat belt height when the vehicle is in motion.

seconds.
If the indicator lamp PASSENGER AIRBAG in the upper part centre console is not continuously lit or if it lights up together with the
indicator lamp in the instrument cluster when the front passenger front airbag is switched off, there may be a fault in the airbag system  →
 .
Description and function of the airbags
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings →Introduction 
The airbags can protect vehicle occupants during frontal and side collisions by reducing their movement in the direction of the collision.
When an airbag is triggered, it is inflated by a gas generator. This causes the airbag covers to break, and the airbags inflate forcefully to cover
If there is a fault in the airbag system, the airbag may not trigger correctly, may not trigger at all or may trigger unexpectedly. This can cause
severe or fatal injuries.
The airbag system should be checked by a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
Never fit a child seat to the front passenger seat or remove a child seat that is already fitted. The front passenger front airbag may trigger
during an accident in spite of the fault.
WARNING
To avoid damage to your vehicle, always observe the indicator lamps and associated warning texts.
