pretensioning system and force limiter.

stantly tightens the seat belt against
the body of the occupant. Fastening
Pull the belt down in front of you
in a steady movement, making
sure that it does not become
twisted.
Press the fastening into its buckle.

and that the automatic locking
mechanism operates correctly
by pulling sharply on the belt
strap.
The lap strap should be posi-
tioned as low down as possible in
the lap and as tight as possible.

length automatically to the girth of
the seat occupant. Height adjustment
The pretensioning seat belts are
active when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pres-

To adjust the belt, squeeze the
control and slide it in the direc-
tion required.
Unfastening
