58 Seats, InteriorThree-stage safety system Comprising:
zThree-point seat belts.
z Belt tensioners at the front seats.
z Airbag systems for driver seat, front
passenger seat 3 and outboard rear
seats 3.
The three stages are activated in sequence
depending on the severity of the accident:
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.
z The front seat belts are pulled down at
the belt locks and at the lower, outer
attachment points 3. This tensions the
seat belt so the occupants are slowed
down with the vehicle early as the vehicle
stops, thus reducing stresses on the
body.
z The airbag systems are also triggered in
the event of severe accidents and form a
safety cushion for the occupants. Read the instructions supplied with the
child restraint system.
Picture no: 18533t.tif
Three-point seat belts The seat belts have an automatic retractor,
so that the belt is spring tensioned and
always lies against the body.
Information on correct seat position
350.
The safety belts lock when the vehicle
accelerates or decelerates rapidly. This
prevents the belt from extending and
keeps the occupant in his or her seat.
9
Warning
The airbag systems serve to supplement
the three-point seat belts and belt ten-
sioners. The seat belts must therefore
always be worn. Disregard of these
instructions may lead to injuries or
endanger life. Vehicle passengers
should be informed accordingly.

The system for deactivation of the airbag
systems for the front passenger can be
identified from the sticker on the side of the
instrument panel, visible when the front
passenger door is open. Fault
The front and side airbag system
3 for the
front passenger cannot be activated or
deactivated if
z the ignition is switched off,
z the engine is running,
z the vehicle is in motion,
z the time limit of 15 seconds is exceeded
when the ignition has been switched on,
z the button * is released before the
confirmation buzzer is heard,
z the time limit of 4 seconds is exceeded
after hearing the confirmation buzzer
and button * is kept depressed,
z there is a fault in the airbag system,
z the central locking button is pressed
inside the vehicle at the same time.
In these cases, a warning signal sounds
and the original setting remains
unchanged. The system remains in its
original mode. Rectify the cause, if
possible. Turn the ignition off and then
back on, and repeat the process. Important
z
Placing accessories and objects in the
expansion region of the airbag systems
is not permitted due to the risk of injury if
the components are triggered.
z There must be no objects between the
airbag systems and the occupants, risk
of injury. No child restraint system 3 may
be fitted on the front passenger seat
when the airbag systems are active,
could result in fatalities.
z Use the hooks 3 on the handles in the
roof frame only to hang up light articles
of clothing without co at hangers. Do not
place any objects in the pockets of the
hanging items, risk of injury.
z The airbag system and belt tensioner
control electronics can be found in the
centre console area. In order to avoid
malfunctions, do not store magnetic
objects in this area.

Warning
When using child restraint systems on
the front passenger seat, the airbag
system for the front passenger must be

This is particularly true for the fitting of
rear-facing child restraint systems on
the front passenger seat.

Warning
As with any other object, child restraint
systems must not be carried on a pas-
senger’s lap. Danger to life.
