Control indicator v for belt tensioners
The function of the belt tensioners and
airbag systems is monitored electronically
and indicated via control indicator v.
When the ignition is turned on, the control
indicator comes on for about 4 seconds.
If it does not light, does not go out after
4 seconds or comes on during driving,
there is a fault in the belt tensioner or
airbag systems 372.The systems may fail
to deploy in the event of an accident.
Deployment of the belt tensioners is
indicated by continuous illumination of v . The system’s integrated self-diagnostics
allows faults to be quickly remedied.
Important
z
Do not affix or place accessories or other
objects within the deployment zone of
the belt tensioners. Do not make any
modifications to belt tensioner
components as this will invalidate the
vehicle type approval. z
The belt tensioner and airbag system
control electronics can be found in the
centre console area. In order to avoid
malfunctions, do not store magnetic
objects in this area.
z When the rear seats are being used it
must be ensured that the components of
the front seat belts are not damaged by
shoes or other objects. Do not allow dirt
to penetrate the seat belt inertia reels.
z We recommend that you have the seats
removed by a workshop.
z The belt tensioners only deploy once,
which can be detected by illumination of
the control indicator v . Have deployed
belt tensioners replaced by a workshop.
z The applicable safety regulations must
be adhered to when the vehicle is
disposed of. The vehicle should therefore
be disposed of by a recycling company.
9 Warning
Have the cause of the fault remedied
immediately by a workshop.
9 Warning
Incorrect handling (e.g. removal or
fitting of seat belts or belt buckles) can
cause the belt tensioners to deploy, with
risk of injury.
