Using the height adjusters for the front seats
and the out
er seats of the second row, the
position of the seat belts can be adjusted in
the shoulder area according to the height of
the occupant:
●
Keep the guide device pressed down in the
direction of the arrow

●
Move the guide device up or down until the
seat belt lies over the centre of your shoulder

●
Release the guide device.
●
Pull the belt sharply to check that the de-
vice is engaged securely.
WARNING
Never adjust the belt height while the vehi-
cl

Seat belt tensioners
Ho
w the seat belt tensioner works
The seat belts for the front seats and the side
r
ear seats on the second row
1)
are equipped
with belt tensioners.
The belt tensioners are activated by sensors,
although only in severe head-on, lateral and
rear-end collisions.
This retracts and tightens the seat belts, re-
ducing the forward motion of the occupants.
The belt pre-tensioners work in combination
with the airbag system. In case of overturn,
the pre-tensioners do not activate unless the
head airbags are deployed.
Reversible seat belt tensioning
In specific driving situations, a reversible ten-
sioning of the seat belts might take place
›››
page 23. For example:
●
in the event of sudden brakes
●
in the event of oversteering or understeer-
ing
●
in the event of minor collisions
Note
●
If the seat belt t
ensioners are triggered, a
fine dust is produced. This is normal and it
is not an indication of fire in the vehicle.
●
The relevant safety requirements must be
observed when the vehicle or components
of the system are scrapped. Specialised
workshops are familiar with these regula-
tions, which are also available to you.
Maintenance and disposal of seat
belt t
ensioners
The belt tensioners are components of the
seat belts that ar
e installed in the seats of
your vehicle. If you work on the belt tension-

when performing other repair work, the seat
