Fastening and adjusting seat belts

If the seat belt is pulled quickly or sharply, the seat belt retractor locks. The seat belt strap cannot be pulled out any further.

Vehicles with illuminated design seat belt buckles: the illuminated seat belt buckle makes fastening your seat belt easier in certain situations, for example, when light conditions are poor.

The illumination on the seat belt buckle does not indicate that the seat belt buckle is functioning correctly.

Always engage seat belt tongue

of the seat belt into seat belt buckle

of the corresponding seat.

To adjust the seat belt height:

press and hold the belt guide release and slide seat belt outlet

into the desired position.

To engage the seat belt outlet:

let go of the belt guide release and ensure that seat belt outlet

locks into position.

A seat belt can only provide the best level of protection if it is worn correctly. Observe the notes on fastening the seat belt More.

NOTE Deployment of components of the restraint system when the front passenger seat is unoccupied and a seat belt is buckled

When the front passenger seat is unoccupied and the seat belt tongue of the seat belt is engaged in the seat belt buckle, components of the restraint system may deploy unnecessarily on the front passenger side, e.g. the seat belt tensioner.

Only buckle the seat belts as intended.

Observe the notes on stowage areas More.
