Seat belts
110
•
No two persons (also not children) should ever use a single seat belt
together.•
The maximum protection which seat belts can offer is only achieved if
you are correctly seated
⇒page 104, “Correct seated position”.
•
The belt webbing must no
t run across solid or fragile objects (e.g. spec-
tacles, ball-point pens, keys etc.) as this may be a cause of injuries.•
Bulky, loose clothing (e.g. a winter coat over a jacket) does not allow you
to be correctly seated and impairs proper operation of the seat belts.•
It is prohibited to use clamps or other objects to adjust seat belts (e.g. for
shortening the belts for smaller persons).•
The lock tongue should only be insert
ed into the lock which is the correct
one for your seat. Wrong use of the safety belt will reduce its capacity to protect and the risk of injury increases.•
The seat backrests of the front seats must not be tilted too far to the rear
otherwise the seatbelts can
lose their effectiveness.
•
The belt webbing must always be ke
pt clean. Soiled belt webbing may
impair proper operation of the inertia reel
⇒page 153, “Seat belts”.
•
The slot of the belt tongue must not be blocked by paper or similar
objects otherwise the belt tongue will not lock in place properly.•
Inspect the seat belts regu
larly to ensure they are
in good condition. If
you find seat belts which have damage to the seat belt webbing, seat belt connections, to the inertia reels or to the lock, the relevant safety belt must be replaced by a specialist garage.•
The seat belts must not be removed or changed in any way. Do not make
an attempt to repair the seat belts yourself.•
Damaged seat belts which have been subjected to stress in an accident
and were therefore stretched, must be replaced - this is best done by a specialist garage. The anchorage points
of the belts must also be inspected.
The anchorage points for the be
lts should also be checked.
•
In certain countries it is possible to use seat belts which differ in terms of
their operation from the seat belts wh
ich are described on the pages which
follow.

Raise vehicle You have to raise the vehicle with the lifting jack* in order to be able to take off the wheel.Place the jack* under the vehicle. Re
cesses are located at the lower sill
(front and rear)
⇒
fig. 170
. There is a point under the recess where the
lifting jack* can be po
sitioned, see arrows
⇒
fig. 170
.
– Position the lifting jack* below the jacking point and move it up until
its claw is positioned di
rectly below the vertical web of the lower sill.
– Position the lifting jack* so that the claw grasps the web of the lower
sill and the moving base plate of
the lifting jack is resting flat
against the floor.
– Turn the lifting jack* up further until the wheel is just clear of the
ground.
Ground below the lifting jack which is soft and slippery
can cause the vehicle to
slip off the jack. It is therefore always ne
cessary to place the lifting jack* on a solid
surface or use a wide and stable base. Use
a non-slip base (e.g. a rubber foot mat)
if the
surface is smooth
, such as cobbled stones, a tiled floor, etc.
WARNING
•
Always raise the vehicle with the doors closed - risk of injury!
•
Take suitable measures to prevent the
base of the lifting jack from slip-
ping off - risk of injury!•
Not positioning the lifting jack* at
the specified points can result in
damage to the vehicle. The jack can also sl
ip off if it does not have sufficient
grip - risk of injury!•
It is important to support the vehicle with suitable supporting blocks if
you wish to work under the lifted vehicle - risk of injury!Securing wheels against being stolen* You need a special adapter for slackening the safety wheel bolts.– Pull off the full wheel trim/cap from the wheel hub or cap from the
safety wheel bolt.
– Insert the adapter with its toothed side fully into the inner toothing
of the safety wheel bolt right down in such a way that only the outer hexagon is jutting out
⇒
fig. 171
.
– Insert the wheel wrench fully onto the adapter . – Slacken the wheel bolt, or tighten it firmly
