Seat belts that are fastened correctly oﬀer very

good protection in the event of an accident. They re-

duce the risk of an injury and increase the chance of

survival in the event of a major accident.

The seat belts must not be removed or altered in

any other way.

If the driver's seat belt is damaged, stop driving.

If another seat belt is damaged, the seat must not

be occupied.

Automatic belt retractor

›

The automatic retractor locks the belt in the event

of a jerky pull on the belt. The belts lock, for example,

when full braking, when the car accelerates, when

driving downhill and when cornering.

WARNING

Risk of an accident!

The exterior mirrors make objects appear farther

away.

Use the rear-view mirror to determine the distance

from vehicles behind.

WARNING

If the seat belt does not lock when pulled jerkily,

have the retractor checked by a specialist garage.

▶

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 seat belts.

Troubleshooting

Electric mirror operation impaired

Adjust the mirror surface by pressing it lightly with

your ﬁnger.

›

If there is a collision with a certain severity, the seat

belt is tightened by the belt tensioner so that unwan-

ted body movement is prevented.

CAUTION

Risk of burns!

The belt tensioner can also be deployed when the

seat belt is not fastened.

Do not touch heated exterior mirror surfaces.

▶

Belt tensioners are not activated in the event of mi-

nor collisions or in accidents in which no major

forces are produced.

Smoke is released when the belt tensioner is de-

ployed. This does not indicate a vehicle ﬁre.
