9 Warning
z Three-point seat belts,
The airbag systems serve to supplement
the three-point seat belts and belt
tensioners. The seat b elts must therefore
always be w orn. Disreg ard of these
instructions may lead to injuries or
end ang er life. Vehicle p assengers must
be informed accordingly.
z Belt tensioners at the front seats,
z Airbag systems for the driver’s seat and
front passenger’s seat 3 as well as the
outboard rear seats 3.
The three stages are activated in sequence
depending on the severity of the accident:
Always read the instructions provided with
the child restraint system!
z The automatic seat belt locking devices
prevent the belt strap from being pulled
out and thus ensure that the vehicle
occupants are retained in their seats.
Picture no: 13982.tif
z The front seat belts are pulled down at
the belt buckles. This means the belts fit
snugly, the occupants are decelerated
early with the vehicle and the stress
placed on the body is reduced.
Three-point seat belts
The vehicle is equipped with three-point
seat belts with automatic retractors and
locking devices, allowing freedom of body
movement although the spring tensioned
belts always ensure a snug fit.
z The airbag systems are also triggered in
the event of severe accidents and form a
safety cushion for the occupants.
For information on correct seating
position – see pages 44, 62, 68.
The belt has a "vehicle sensitive retractor"
which is designed to lock during heavy
acceleration or deceleration in any
direction.
