Safety belt reminder for the driver's and front passenger seat
The indicator lamp
flashes or lights up
and a signal sounds. Make sure that the
safety belts are positioned correctly.
The safety belt reminder is active at speeds
above approx. 5 mph/8 km/h. It can also be activated
if objects are placed on the front passenger
seat.
Safety mode
In critical situations, e.g., during full brake application, the front safety belts tighten automatically.
If the situation passes without an accident occurring, the belt tension relaxes.
If the belt tension does not loosen automatically, stop the vehicle and unbuckle the belt using the red button in the buckle. Fasten the belt before continuing on your trip.
Damage to safety belts
In the case of strain caused by accidents or damage:
Have the safety belts, including the safety belt tensioners, replaced and have the belt anchors checked.
Checking and replacing safety belts
Have the work performed only by your service center; otherwise, it cannot be ensured that this safety feature will function properly.
