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.
