Correct use of safety belts
Wear the belt twist-free and as tight to
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
around your upper body.
Buckling the belt
General information
Make sure you hear the latch plate engage in
the belt buckle.
Tensioning the safety belt
automatically
When the belt is closed, the driver's and pas‐
senger's belt straps are automatically tight‐
ened once after driving away.
Unbuckling the belt
1.
Hold the belt firmly.
2. Press the red button in the belt buckle.
3. Guide the belt back into its roll-up mecha‐
nism.
Safety belt reminder for driver's seat
and front passenger seat
The indicator lamp lights up and a sig‐
nal sounds. Make sure that the safety
belts are positioned correctly. The
safety belt reminder is active at speeds above
approx. 6 mph/10 km/h. It can also be activated
if objects are placed on the front passenger
seat.
Safety mode
In critical situations, e.g., during full brake ap‐
plication, the front safety belts tighten auto‐
matically.
If the situation passes without an accident oc‐
curring, the belt tension relaxes.
If the belt tension does not loosen automati‐
cally, stop the vehicle and unbuckle the belt
using the red button in the buckle. Fasten the
belt before continuing on your trip.
