Seats, restraints539Warning
When installing the seats, ensure
that the seats are properly located
on the anchor points and that the
locking catches are fully engaged.
Consult a workshop if the seats
cannot be locked securely in position.
Seat belts
The seat belts are locked during
heavy acceleration or deceleration of
the vehicle holding the occupants in
the sitting position. Therefore, the risk of injury is considerably reduced.
9 Warning
Fasten seat belt before each trip.
In the event of an accident, people
not wearing seat belts endanger their fellow occupants and
themselves.
Seat belts are only designed for use
by one person at a time.
Child restraint system 3 63.
Periodically check all parts of the belt system for damage and proper
functionality.
Have damaged components
replaced. After an accident, have the
belts and triggered belt tensioners
replaced by a workshop.
Notice
Make sure that the belts are not
damaged by shoes or sharp-edged
objects or are trapped. Prevent dirt
from getting into the belt retractors.
Seat belt reminder
Depending on version, both front
seats may be equipped with a seat
belt reminder, indicated by control
indicator X in the roof console
3 95.
Belt force limiters On the front seats, stress on the body
is reduced by the gradual release of
the belt during a collision.

62Seats, restraints9Warning
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.
Notice
Only use protective seat covers that have been approved for the vehicle.Be careful not to cover the airbags.
Curtain airbag system
The curtain airbag system consists of an airbag in the roof frame on each
side. This may be identified by the
word AIRBAG on the headlining trim.
The curtain airbag system is triggered
in the event of a side-on impact of a
certain severity. The ignition must be
switched on.
The inflated airbags cushion the
impact, thereby reducing the risk of
injury to the head in the event of a
side-on impact considerably.9 Warning
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.
The hooks on the handles in the
roof frame are only suitable for
hanging up light articles of
clothing, without coat hangers. Do not keep any items in these
clothes.
Airbag deactivation
The front passenger airbag system must be deactivated if a child restraint
is to be fitted on the front passenger
seat in accordance with the
instructions in the Child restraint
installation locations tables 3 66.
The belt tensioners and all other
airbag systems will remain active.
Depending on vehicle, there is a
warning on the airbag label located on the front passenger sun visor. Refer
to "Airbag system" for further
information 3 57.
Front passenger airbag system can
be deactivated via a switch located on the side of the instrument panel.
Open the front passenger door to
access the switch.

Seats, restraints63Press the switch in and rotate to
choose the position:* OFF:front passenger seat airbag
system is deactivated and
will not inflate in the event of a collision. Control indicator
* OFF illuminates
continuously in the roof
console 3 92, 3 95 and
a corresponding message
appears in the Driver
Information Centre 3 100.Ó ON:front passenger airbag
system is active.9 Danger
Deactivate passenger airbag only
in combination with the use of a
child restraint system, subject to
the instructions and restrictions in
the table 3 66.
Otherwise, there is a risk of fatal
injury for a person occupying a
seat with a deactivated front
passenger airbag.
If control indicator ÓON illuminates
after the ignition is switched on and
control indicator *OFF is not
illuminated, the front passenger
airbag system will inflate in the event
of a collision.
If both control indicators ÓON and
* OFF are illuminated
simultaneously, there is a system
failure. The status of the system is not discernible, therefore no person is
permitted to occupy the front
passenger seat. Contact a workshop immediately.
If control indicator F 3 96
illuminates together with v 3 95,
this indicates a fault within the
system. The switch position may have been changed inadvertently with the
ignition on. Turn ignition off and on
again and reset the switch position. If
F and v still remain illuminated, seek
the assistance of a workshop.
Change status only when the vehicle
is stopped with the ignition off. Status remains until the next change.
