Vehicles with an AMG Performance seat: if the
front passenger seat is unoccupied, this can lead
to noise caused by the seat belt tongue knocking
against the seat. You can prevent this by sliding
the seat belt tongue upwards with the seat belt
adjuster clip. If the front passenger seat is occu-
pied, ensure that the seat belt adjuster clip is
pushed down. Only then will the seat belt t
snugly against the body.
