Using seat belts

 Introduction

For passenger safety and to reduce the risk of injury in an accident, the follow-

ing instructions must be observed.



Position the front passenger seat back as far as possible. The front pas-

senger must maintain a distance of at least 25 cm to the dash panel so

that the airbag offers the greatest possible safety if it is deployed.

Seat belts that are fastened correctly offer good protection in the event of an

accident. They reduce the risk of an injury and increase the chance of survival

in the event of a major accident.



Correctly fasten the seat belt » page 13.

The seat belts reduce the kinetic energy (energy of motion) to a considerable

extent. They also prevent uncontrolled movements which, in turn, may well re-

sult in severe injuries.

WARNING

■

A distance of least 25 cm to the dash panel should be maintained, other-

wise the airbag system will not be able to protect you - hazard!

Always keep your feet in the footwell when the car is being driven – nev-

surface of the seats! You will be exposed to increased risk of injury if it be-

comes necessary to apply the brake or in the event of an accident. If an air-

bag is deployed, you could suffer fatal injuries by adopting an incorrect

seated position!

WARNING

WARNING

Information on dealing with the safety belts

The belt webbing must not be jammed in-between at any point or twis-

ted, or chafe against any sharp edges.

For the safety of the passengers in the rear seats, and to reduce the risk of in-

jury in an accident, the following instructions must be observed.

■



Adjust the head restraint so that the top edge of the head restraint is at

the same level as the upper part of your head.

■

Make sure you do not catch the seat belt when closing the door.



Correctly fasten the seat belt » page 13.

WARNING

Information on the proper use of the safety belts

■

No two persons (also not children) should ever use a single seat belt to-

gether.

■

The lock tongue should only be inserted into the lock which is the correct

one for your seat. Wrong use of the safety belt will reduce its capacity to

protect and the risk of injury increases.

■

The seat belts for the rear seats can only fulfil their function reliably when

the seat backrests are correctly locked into position » page 51.

The lower part of the belt should run across the pelvis (it should not lie on top

of the stomach) and must always fit snugly » Fig. 6 - .

WARNING

For pregnant women, the lower part of the belt must be positioned as low

down as possible across the pelvis, to avoid exerting any pressure on the lower

abdomen » Fig. 6 - .

the parts of the seat belt system (e.g. the strap, the belt connectors, the re-

tractor, the lock or similar) are detected, the seat belt in question must be

replaced immediately by a specialist.

■

A seat belt which is hanging too loose can result in injuries as your body is

moved forward by the kinetic energy produced in an accident and is then

suddenly held firm by the belt.

■

Seat belts which have been subjected to stress in an accident should be

replaced by a specialist garage. Also check the seat belt anchors.

■

The belt webbing must not run across solid or fragile objects (e.g. pencils,

spectacles, pens, keys etc.). Such objects can cause injury.

Fastening and unfastening seat belts

Inertia reels and belt tensioners

Inertia reels

Each seat belt is equipped with an inertia reel.

When pulling slowly on the seat belt, the belt can move freely. When pulling

sharply on the seat belt, the movement is locked by the inertia reel. The belts

also lock when full braking, when the car accelerates, when driving downhill

and when cornering.

WARNING

If the seat belt does not lock when pulling sharply on it, have it inspected

immediately by a specialist garage.

Fig. 7 Fastening / unfastening the seat belt

 Read and observe on page 11 first.

Before fastening the belt

Belt tensioners

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.

Adjust the head restraint properly (does not apply to seats with integrated

head restraints).

›

Adjust the seat (applies to the front seats).

›

If there is a collision of a certain severity, the seat belts are tightened by the

belt tensioner so that unwanted body motion is prevented.

Fastening

Slowly pull the belt over the chest and pelvis.

Insert the lock tongue into the belt buckle » Fig. 7 –  that is part of the seat

until it clicks into place.

›

Belt tensioners are not activated in the event of a roll-over, minor collisions or

in accidents in which no major forces are produced.

›

Pull on the belt to check that it has engaged correctly in the lock.

›

WARNING

Releasing

■

Any work on the belt tensioner system, including the removal and installa-

tion of system components because of other repair work, must only be car-

ried out by a specialist garage.

If the belt tensioners have been deployed, it is then necessary to replace

the entire system.

Grip the lock tongue and press the red button in the buckle » Fig. 7 - , the

lock tongue pops out.

Guide the belt back by hand so that the seat belt does not twist and the

webbing rolls up fully.

›

■

WARNING

Note

The reel opening for the lock tongue must not be blocked otherwise the

lock tongue will not lock into place properly.

■

The belt tensioners can also be deployed if the seat belts are not fastened.

Smoke is generated when the belt tensioners are deployed. This is not an in-

■

dication of a fire in the vehicle.

Seat belts

Side airbags Head-Thorax - The stress on occupants’ bodies is cushioned

when they make contact with the fully-inflated airbag and the risk of injury to

head and the entire upper body (chest, stomach and pelvis) is reduced on the

side facing the door.

Airbag system

Description of the airbag system

 Introduction

The side air bags can be identified by a label with the lettering  marked on

the front seat backrests.

The airbag system provides, as a supplement to the seat belts, additional occu-

pant protection during severe frontal and side-on collisions.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, the airbag system consists of the

following parts.

▶

The airbag will only provide optimum protection in conjunction with wear-

ing the seat belt - the airbag is not a substitute for the seat belts.

Individual airbags.

Front airbags

Front side airbags Head-Thorax

When triggered, the airbag fills with gas and unfolds. The inflation of the air-

bag is carried out in a fraction of a second.

Front airbags - the forward thrust of the driver and of the front passenger is

cushioned when they make contact with the fully-inflated airbag, and the risk

of injury to head and chest is thus reduced.

When the airbag inflates, smoke is released. This is not a sign of a fire in the

vehicle.

The front airbags can be identified by the lettering  featured on the steer-

ing wheel and on the dash panel on the passenger side.

Safety

Triggering conditions

WARNING

It is not possible to generally determine which deployment conditions apply to

the airbag system in every situation. The important factors here are the hard-

ness of the object with which the vehicle collides, the angle of impact, vehicle

speed etc.

General information

The seat belts and the airbag system can only offer proper protection

■

if the driver and passengers are seated properly » page 9.

■

The airbag unleashes enormous force when triggered, which can lead to

serious injuries or fatalities if the driver and passengers are not seated

properly. This applies in particular to children who are transported without

using a suitable child safety seat » page 19.

If there is a fault, have the airbag system checked immediately by a spe-

cialist garage. Otherwise, there is a risk that the airbag will not be deployed

in the event of an accident.

The deceleration during impact plays an important role in the deployment of

the airbags. If the vehicle deceleration which occurs and is measured remains

below the prescribed reference values specified in the control unit, the airbags

are not deployed although the vehicle may well suffer severe damage to the

bodywork as a consequence of the accident.

■

The following airbags will be deployed in the event of a severe frontal

collision.

■

If the airbag has been deployed, the airbag system must then be replaced.

The surface of the steering wheel and the dash panel should only be

WARNING

Information about the front airbags

It is important for the driver and front passenger to maintain a minimum

distance of 25 cm from the steering wheel or the control panel » Fig. 10 -

, If you do not observe this distance, the airbag cannot protect you - risk

to life! The front seats must always be set correctly according to the body

size.
