Seat belt adjustment

The seat-belt adjustment is an integral part of

the PRE-SAFE

®

convenience function. This

function adjusts the driver's and front-

passenger seat belt to the upper body of the

occupants.

The belt strap is tightened slightly when:

R

the belt tongue is engaged in the buckle

when the seat-belt extender is retracted

and

R

the ignition is switched on

The seat-belt adjustment will apply a certain

retraction force if any slack is detected

between the vehicle occupant and the seat

belt. Do not hold on to the seat belt tightly

while it is adjusting.

You can switch the seat-belt adjustment on

and off in the on-board computer

(Y page 240).

Belt warning for the driver and front

passenger

The 7 seat belt warning lamp in the instru-

ment cluster is a reminder that all occupants

must fasten their seat belts. It may light up

continuously or flash. In addition, there may

be a warning tone.

Regardless of whether the driver's seat belt

has already been fastened, the 7 seat belt

warning lamp lights up for six seconds each

time the engine is started. If, after

six seconds, the driver or front-passenger

seat belt has not been fastened and the doors

are closed, the 7 seat belt warning lamp

lights up. As soon as the driver's and front-

passenger seat belts are fastened or a front

door is opened again, the 7 seat belt

warning lamp goes out.

If the driver's seat belt is not fastened after

the engine is started, an additional warning

tone will sound. This warning tone stops after

six seconds or when the driver's seat belt is

fastened.

If the vehicle's speed exceeds 15 mph

(25 km/h) once and the driver's and front-

passenger seat belts are not fastened, a

warning tone sounds. A warning tone also

sounds with increasing intensity for

60 seconds or until the driver or front

passenger have fastened their seat belts.

If the driver or front passenger unfasten their

seat belts during the journey, the seat belt

warning is activated again.

belt warning lamp, see "Warning and indi-

cator lamps in the instrument cluster, seat

belts" (Y page 270).

Air bags

Introduction

The installation point of an air bag can be rec-

ognized by the AIR BAG symbol.

An air bag complements the correctly fas-

tened seat belt. It is no substitute for the seat

belt. The air bag provides additional protec-

tion in applicable accident situations.

Not all air bags are deployed in an accident.

The different air bag systems function inde-

pendently from one another (Y page 60).

However, no system available today can com-

pletely eliminate injuries and fatalities.

It is also not possible to rule out a risk of injury

caused by an air bag due to the high speed at

which the air bag must be deployed.

Important safety notes

G

WARNING

If you do not sit in the correct seat position,

the air bag cannot protect as intended and

could even cause additional injury when

deployed. This poses an increased risk of

injury or even fatal injury.
