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.
WARNING
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.
