– Press the red button in the belt lock ⇒ fig. 124. The spring
force causes the tongue of the lock to jump out.
– Guide the belt back with your hand to enable the inertia reel to
wind up the belt webbing more easily.
A plastic knob in the belt webbing holds the belt tongue in a position which
is easy to get hold of.
Three-point seat belt for the rear middle seat
The three-point seat belt for the rear middle seat is
anchored in the area of the luggage compartment on the
left side of the headliner.
Your car is equipped as standard with the three-point seat belt
Fastening the seat belt
– Pull the belt with both lock tongues out of the headliner mount.
– Insert the lock tongue at the end of the belt into the seat belt
buckle on the left side until it is heard to lock in place.
– Pull the second lock tongue, which is moveable on the seat
belt, over the chest and insert it into the belt buckle on the right
side until it is heard to lock in place.
– Pull on the belt to check that both lock tongues are reliably
engaged in the locks.
– The belt tongues for the rear middle seat are shaped differ-
ently so that they only fit into the respective belt buckle. If you
attempt to insert a lock tongue into the wrong belt lock it will
not lock.
Taking seat belt off
– Take off the seat belt in the reverse order to fastening.
WARNING
• The three-point safety belt for the rear middle seat can only fulfil
its function reliably when the backrests are correctly locked into
position ⇒ page 72.
• After releasing the seat belt hold it tight and let it slowly reel up
until both lock tongues lock into the headliner mount and are
secured with a magnet - risk of injury.
• Never release simultaneously both tongues of the lock.
Belt tensioner
Safety for the driver and front passenger wearing their seat belts is
enhanced by the belt tensioners fitted to the inertia reels of the front three-
point seat belts.
The fastened three-point seat belts are automatically tensioned in the
event of a frontal collision of a certain severity. The belts tensioners are
also deployed if the seat belts are not fastened.
Belt tensioners are not activated in the event of minor frontal collisions,
side and rear-end collisions, in the case of a rollover and also not in acci-
dents in which no major forces are produced from the front.
