It is also important for the rear passengers to wear seat belts, as  
they could otherwise be thrown forwards violently in an accident.  
Rear passengers who do not use seat belts endanger not only them-  
selves but also the other occupants ⇒ page 162, fig. 170.  
– To fasten the belt, take hold of the latch plate and pull it  
slowly across your chest and lap ⇒  
.
– Insert the latch plate into the buckle for the appropriate  
seat and push it down until it is securely locked with an  
audible click ⇒ fig. 172.  
How to wear seat belts properly  
– Pull the belt to check that it is now securely fastened.  
Putting on the three-point seat belts  
The three-point inertia reel belts are tensioned automatically. The  
retractor system gives complete freedom of movement, as long as  
the pull on the belt is slow. Hard braking locks the belt. The belt will  
also lock when you accelerate, drive up or down a steep hill or in a  
sharp curve.  
Always fasten your seat belts before driving off.  
WARNING  
• Always make certain that the belt is positioned properly  
⇒ fig. 171 – risk of injury ⇒ page 163, “Adjusting the seat belts”.  
• The latch plate of the belt must always be engaged in the  
correct buckle for that seat. Otherwise the belt will not be fully  
effective and the danger of injury increases.

Seat belts

to match the position of the seat belt to your height.

correctly during pregnancy.  
– Adjust the front seat and head restraint correctly before  
WARNING  
putting on the seat belt ⇒ page 70, “Seats and storage”.  
• The diagonal part of the belt should never be positioned across  
the neck, but roughly over the centre of the shoulder; it should fit  
closely against the upper part of the body. The lap part of the belt  
must be worn tightly across the hips, and not over the abdomen  
⇒ page 163, fig. 173. Pull the belt tight if necessary to take up any  
slack.  
– To fasten the belt, take hold of the latch plate and pull it  
slowly down across your chest. Wear the lap portion of  
the seat belt as low as possible over the hips so that there  
is no pressure on the stomach ⇒ fig. 174, ⇒  
.
– Insert the latch plate into the buckle for the appropriate  
seat and push it down until it is securely locked with an  
audible click ⇒ page 163, fig. 172.  
• Always make sure that belt is positioned properly. Incorrectly  
worn seat belts can give rise to injuries even in a minor collision.  
• Seat belts worn too loose can result in injuries because they  
allow excessive forward movement in a crash; the occupant will  
be brought to a sudden stop by the belt webbing.  
– Pull the belt to check that it is now securely fastened.  
WARNING  
Wearing and adjusting the seat belts during  
pregnancy  
During pregnancy, women should especially make sure to wear  
the lap portion of the seat belt as low as possible across the hips  
so that there is no pressure on the stomach.  
To afford the best protection for the unborn child it is  
important for the mother to wear the seat belt properly at  
all times.
