SAFETY
50
WARNING
Never use a seat belt for more than one
occupant. Never wear the shoulder portion of
the belt under the arm, behind the back or
otherwise out of position. Such use could
cause injury in the event of an accident. As
seat belts lose much of their strength when
exposed to violent stretching, they should be
replaced after any collision, even if they
appear to be undamaged.
WARNING
Do not use clips or fasten the belts around
hooks or other parts of the interior. This will
prevent the seat belt from fitting properly.
WARNING
Never damage the seat belts and never insert
any foreign objects into the belt buckle. This
may cause the seat belts and belt buckles to
malfunction in a collision. There is a risk of
serious injury.
Unbuckling seat belts
1. Press the red button on the seat belt recep-
tacle and make sure the seat belt retracts
fully into the retractor slot.
2. If it does not fully retract, guide the belt man-
ually into the slot and make sure it does not
hang loose.
If the seat belt in the second row center
seating position is used, make sure it is prop-
erly positioned in the correct seat belt guide.

Seat belt tensioners
The vehicle is equipped with standard and elec-
tric seat belt tensioners that can help tension the
seat belt in a critical situation or collision.
Standard seat belt tensioners
All seat belts are equipped with a standard seat
belt tensioner.
In a collision of sufficiently violent force, the seat
belt tensioners will tension the seat belts in order
to more effectively restrain the occupants.
Electric seat belt tensioners
The driver's and front passenger's seat belts are
equipped with electric seat belt tensioners.
The seat belt tensioners interact and can be acti-
vated in conjunction with the City Safety and
Rear Collision Warning driver support systems. In
critical situations, such as if the vehicle brakes
suddenly, begins to skid or runs off the road (e.g
if the vehicle rolls into a ditch, lifts off the ground
or hits an obstacle in the road), or if there is a risk
of collision, the seat belts can be pulled taut by
the seat belt tensioner's electric motor.
The electric seat belt tensioner helps to position
the occupant more effectively in the seat, which
reduces the risk of the occupant striking the inte-
rior of the passenger compartment and improves
the effect of other safety systems such as the
airbags.
