Never attempt to make modifications to seat
belts. This could impair the effectiveness of
the seat belts.
Fastening seat belts G
WARNING
According to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained on the rear
seats
than on the front-passenger seat. Thus,
we strongly recommend that children be
placed in the rear seat whenever possible.
Regardless of seating position, children 12
years old and under must be seated and
properly secured in an appropriately sized
child restraint system or booster seat
recommended for the size and weight of the
child. For additional information, see the
"Children in the vehicle" section.
A child's risk of serious or fatal injuries is
significantly increased if the child restraints
are not properly secured in the vehicle and/
or the child is not properly secured in the child
restraint. G
WARNING
Seat belt presenter : must be retracted
while
the vehicle is in motion. Only when seat
belt presenter : is retracted can the seat
belt be properly positioned on the body and
protect the occupant as intended. Seat-belt extender (example: Coupe)
The

seat-belt extender for the driver and front
passenger helps you fasten your seat belt.
Seat-belt extender : is extended when the respective door is closed and the SmartKey
is

turned to position 1 or 2 in the ignition lock. You can also extend seat-belt extender
:
by
using the seat-belt extender button in the
center console.
X Press the seat-belt extender button.
Seat-belt extender : extends.
Seat-belt extender : is retracted again if:
R the belt tongue is engaged in the seat belt
buckle.
R the belt tongue is not engaged in the seat
belt buckle within 60 seconds.
R the respective door is opened.
R the

SmartKey is turned to position 0 in the
ignition lock.
R you release the seat backrest and fold it
forwards.
R the front-passenger seat is unoccupied
after, approximately five seconds.
If you press the seat-belt extender button
after this, seat-belt extender : will not
extend. Occupant safety

Safety Z

Example: Coupe
X
Adjust the seat and move the backrest to
an almost vertical position ( Y page 106).
X Pull the seat belt smoothly out of seat-belt
extender :.
X Without twisting it, guide the shoulder
section of the seat belt across the middle
of
your shoulder and the lap section across
your pelvis.
X Engage belt tongue ; in buckle =.
Seat-belt adjustment: if necessary, the
driver's and front-passenger seat belts
automatically adjust to the upper body
(Y page 56).
X If necessary, pull upwards on the shoulder
section of the seat belt to tighten the belt
across your body.
All seat belts except the driver's seat belt are
equipped
with a special seat belt retractor to
securely fasten child restraint systems in the
vehicle. Further information can be found
under "Special seat belt retractor"
(Y page 61).
For more information about releasing the seat
belt with release button ?, see "Releasing
seat belts" ( Y page 56). Seat belt adjustment The seat-belt adjustment function adjusts the
driver's and front-passenger seat belt to the
upper body of the occupants.
The belt strap is tightened slightly when:
R
you engage the belt tongue in the belt
buckle and you then turn the SmartKey to
position 2 in the ignition lock.
R the

SmartKey is in position 2 in the ignition
lock and you then engage the belt tongue
in the buckle once the seat-belt extender
has retracted.
The seat-belt adjustment will apply a
retraction force if any slack is detected
between the occupant and the seat belt. Do
not hold on to the seat belt tightly while it is
adjusting. You can switch the seat-belt
adjustment on and off in the on-board
computer (Y page 227).
The seat-belt adjustment is an integral part of
the PRE-SAFE ®
convenience function. More
information about PRE-SAFE ®
can be found
under "PRE-SAFE ®
(preventative occupant
protection)" (Y page 52).
Releasing seat belts !
Make
sure that the seat belt is fully rolled
up. Otherwise, the seat belt or belt tongue
will be trapped in the door or in the seat
mechanism. This could damage the door,
the door trim panel and the seat belt.
Damaged seat belts can no longer fulfill
their protective function and must be
replaced. Visit a qualified specialist
workshop. 56
