Hints
Press button once for each ventilation
One person per safety belt
level.
Never allow more than one person to
wear a single safety belt. Never allow infants or
small children to ride on a passenger's lap.◀
The highest level is active when three LEDs
are lit.
After a short time, the system automatically
moves down one level in order to prevent ex‐
cessive cooling.
Putting on the belt
Lay the belt, without twisting, snugly
across the lap and shoulders, as close to the
body as possible. Make sure that the belt lies
low around the hips in the lap area and does
not press on the abdomen. Otherwise, the belt
can slip over the hips in a frontal impact and in‐
jure the abdomen.
Switch off
Press button longer.
The LEDs go out.
The safety belt must not lie across the neck,
rub on sharp edges, be routed over breakable
objects, or be pinched.◀
Safety belts
Seats with safety belt
The vehicle has four seats, each of which is
equipped with a safety belt.
What reduces the restraining effect
Avoid wearing bulky clothing, and pull
the shoulder belt periodically to readjust the
tension. Make sure that the belt is not jammed;
otherwise, the belt can be damaged and the
restraining effect is reduced.◀
General information
Always make sure that safety belts are being
worn by all occupants before driving off.
For the occupants' safety the belt locking
mechanism triggers early. Slowly guide the
belt out of the holder when applying it.
Buckling the belt
Although airbags enhance safety by providing
added protection, they are not a substitute for
safety belts.
The upper shoulder strap's anchorage point
will be correct for adult seat occupants of ev‐
ery build if the seat is correctly adjusted.
▷
The two outer safety belt buckles,
integrated into the rear seat, are for pas‐
sengers sitting on the left and right.
Make sure you hear the latch plate engage in
the belt buckle.
▷
The center rear safety belt buckle is solely
intended for the center passenger.
Tensioning the safety belt
automatically
When the belt is closed, it is automatically
tightened once after the release.
