SAFETY
* Option/accessory.

WARNING
Never use a seat belt for more than one occupant. Never wear the shoulder portionof the belt under the arm, behind the backor otherwise out of position. Such usecould cause injury in the event of an acci-dent. As seat belts lose much of theirstrength when exposed to violent stretch-ing, they should be replaced after any colli-sion, even if they appear to be undamaged.
WARNING
Do not use clips or fasten the belts around hooks or other parts of the interior. This willprevent the seat belt from fitting properly.
WARNING
Never damage the seat belts and never insert any foreign objects into the beltbuckle. This may cause the seat belts andbelt buckles to malfunction in a collision.There is a risk of serious injury.
Unbuckling seat belts1. Press the red button on the seat belt
receptacle and make sure the seat belt retracts fully into the retractor slot.
2. If it does not fully retract, guide the belt manually into the slot and make sure itdoes not hang loose.

Seat belt tensioners The vehicle is equipped with standard and electric
* seat belt tensioners that can help
tension the seat belt in a critical situation or collision.
Standard seat belt tensionersAll seat belts are equipped with a standard seat belt tensioner. In a collision of sufficiently violent force, the seat belt tensioners will tension the seat beltsin order to more effectively restrain the occu-pants.
Electric seat belt tensioners *The driver's and front passenger's seat beltsare equipped with electric seat belt tensioners. The seat belt tensioners interact and can be activated in conjunction with the City Safetyand Rear Collision Warning driver support sys-tems. In critical situations, such as if the vehi-cle brakes suddenly, begins to skid or runs offthe road (e.g if the vehicle rolls into a ditch,lifts off the ground or hits an obstacle in theroad), or if there is a risk of collision, the seatbelts can be pulled taut by the seat belt ten-sioner's electric motor. The electric seat belt tensioner helps to posi- tion the occupant more effectively in the seat,which reduces the risk of the occupant strik-ing the interior of the passenger compartment

Speed-dependent steering wheel resistance Speed-dependent power steering increases the steering wheel resistance in pace withthe vehicle's speed, which can help give thedriver an enhanced feeling of control and sta-bility. Steering is stiffer on highways. Whenparking and at low speeds, it will be easier tomove the steering wheel.
Reduced powerIn rare situations, the power steering may need to work at reduced power and the steer-ing wheel may then feel more difficult tomove. This may happen when the powersteering becomes too hot and needs to betemporarily cooled. It can also happen if thereis a disturbance in power supply.
If there is reduced power, the message
Power steering
Assistance temporarily reduced
and this symbol are
shown in the instrument panel.
While the power steering is working at reduced power, the driver support functionsand systems with steering assistance are notavailable.
