134
Taking seat belts off
– Press the red button in the belt lock ⇒fig. 143 . The spring force causes
the tongue of the lock to jump out.
– Guide the belt back with your hand to enable the inertia reel to wind
up the belt webbing more easily.
A plastic knob in the belt webbing holds the belt tongue in a position which is easy
to get hold of.
Three-point safety belt for the middle rear seat
Your car is equipped as standa rd with the three-point seat belt in the middle rear
seat. It is used in the same way as the three-point seat belts on the left and right (at
front and rear). The three-point seat belt for the rear middle seat must be put on
first to allow the pelvic part of the belt to run between the belt lock for the right
three-point seat belt and the backrest, whil e avoiding crossing the belt webbing of
the right and middle seat belts.
WARNING
The three-point safety belt for the rear middle seat can only fulfil its function
reliably when the backrests are correctly locked into position ⇒page 70.
Blocking seat belts
The three-point seat belts for the front passenger and for the rear seats can be
blocked for attaching a child safety seat ⇒ page 152, “Attaching child safety seat”.
Blocking the belt in this way ensures that th e child seat is held firmly in position in
the car.
WARNING
Never attach a child safety seat on the front passenger seat if the child is
seated with its back facing in direct ion of travel when the front passenger
airbag is still activated ⇒page 147, “Use of child safety seats on the front
passenger seat”. Risk of severe or even fatal injuries!
Belt tensioners
Safety for the driver and passengers wearing their seat belts, is enhanced by the
belt tensioners fitted to the inertia reels of the front and rear side three-point seat
belts, in addition to the protecti on afforded by the airbag system.
The fastened three-point seat belts are au tomatically tensioned in the event of a
frontal collision of a certain severity. Th e rear outside belt tensioners are also
deployed if the seat belt is not fastened.
The belt tensioner is deployed in the event of a frontal collision of major severity. A
powder charge is ignited in the inertia reels during deployment. The belt webbing
is pulled into the inertia reels by a mech anical system and the belt is tensioned.
Belt tensioners are not activated in the ev ent of minor frontal collisions, side and
rear-end collisions, in the ca se of a rollover and also not in accidents in which no
major forces are produced from the front.
WARNING
•The service life of seat belts and belt tensioners is 15 years from the date
of manufacture of the vehicle. It is then necessary to have the seat belts
replaced by a specialist garage.

with the appropriate national regulations regarding the use of child safety
seats. Switch off the front passenger airbag if necess ary at a specialist garage
or switch it off with the switch for front passenger airbag* ⇒page 144.
•The shoulder part of the seat belt must run approximately across the
middle of the shoulder and fit snugly agai nst the chest. It must on no account
run across the neck. The lap part of the seat belt must run across the pelvis
and fits snugly; it must not run over th e belly. Tighten the belt webbing over

Attaching child safety seat
Child seat protection
You can block the three-point seat belt in order to attach a child
safety seat.
You can permanently block the three-poin t seat belt in order to attach a
child safety seat. Blocking the belt in this way ensures that the child seat
is held firmly in position in the car.
Activating child seat protection
– Attach the child safety seat with the three-point seat belt as stated in the instructions of the manufacturer of the child seat.
– Now, pull the shoulder part of the belt out fully.
– Insert the tongue of the lock into the seat belt buckle belonging to the seat until it is heard to lock in place.
– Reel up the belt webbing until it is fitted snugly against the child seat. When the belt is reeled up, this can be detected by a “clicking” noise. – Pull on the belt in order to check that it is no longer possible to pull out
the webbing. The child seat protection is now switched on.
Deactivating child seat protection
– Press the red button on the seat belt buckle. The tongue of the lock jumps out of the buckle as a result of the spring force when this is
done.
– Guide the belt back with your hand to enable the inertia reel to wind up the belt webbing more easily. Th e child safety lock is deactivated
after the full reeling up of the belt.
WARNING
It is essential to always switch off ⇒page 144 the airbag (airbags) when
attaching a child safety seat on the fr ont passenger seat where the child is
seated with its back facing in direction of travel (in some countries also when
the child is facing the direction of travel). If this is not done, there is a risk of
the child suffering severe or even fatal injuries if the front passenger airbag
is deployed. In certain countries national legal provisions also require that
the side and head airbags be deactivated. When transporting a child on the
front passenger seat, please comply wi th the appropriate national regula-
tions regarding the use of child safety seats.
