General information  
The protective effect of the safety belts  
may not be fully functional or fail in the follow‐  
ing situations:  
Always make sure that safety belts are being  
worn by all occupants before driving off. Al‐  
though airbags enhance safety by providing  
added protection, they are not a substitute for  
safety belts.  
The safety belts or safety belt buckles are  
damaged, soiled, or changed in any other  
way.  
The upper shoulder strap's anchorage point  
will be correct for adult seat occupants of ev‐  
ery build if the seat is correctly adjusted.  
Belt tensioners or belt retractors were  
modified.  
Safety belts can be imperceptibly damaged in  
the event of an accident. There is a risk of inju‐  
ries or danger to life. Do not modify safety  
belts, safety belt buckles, belt tensioners, belt  
retractors or belt anchors and keep them  
clean. Have the safety belts checked after an  
accident at the dealer’s service center or an‐  
other qualified service center or repair shop.◀

Front head restraints  
Safety information  
WARNING  
A missing protective effect due to re‐  
moved or not correctly adjusted head re‐  
straints can cause injuries in the head and  
neck area. There is a risk of injury.  
To ease accessibility to the safety belt buckle,  
an adjustable slider is available on the belt to  
help position the buckle when not in use.  
Before driving, install the removed head re‐  
straints on the occupied seats.  
When the safety belt is buckled, the belt strap  
is automatically tightened once after the vehi‐  
cle drove off.  
Adjust the head restraint so its center sup‐  
ports the back of the head at as close to  
eye level as possible.  
Adjust the distance so that the head re‐  
straint is as close as possible to the back of  
the head. If necessary, adjust the distance  
by adjusting the tilt of the backrest.◀

1. Hold the safety belt firmly.  
2. Press the red button in the belt buckle.

mechanism.
