Seat belts

Introduction

A correctly fastened seat belt is the most effec-

tive means of restraining the movement of vehi-

cle occupants in the event of an accident or the

vehicle rolling over. This reduces the risk of

vehicle occupants coming into contact with

parts of the vehicle interior or being thrown from

the vehicle. Furthermore, the seat belt helps to

keep the vehicle occupants in the best position

in relation to the air bag.

The seat belt system consists of:

Seat belts

Emergency Tensioning Devices for the front

seat belts and the outer seat belts in the rear

compartment

Seat belt force limiters for the front seat belts

and the outer seat belts in the rear

If the seat belt is pulled quickly or suddenly from

the belt outlet, the inertia reel locks. The belt

strap cannot be pulled out further.

Emergency Tensioning Devices tighten the seat

belts in an accident, pulling them close against

the occupant's body. They do not, however, pull

vehicle occupants back towards the backrest.

Emergency Tensioning Devices do not correct

an incorrect seat position or incorrectly worn

seat belts.

When triggered, the seat belt force limiter

reduces the force exerted by the seat belt on the

vehicle occupant.

The seat belt force limiters for the front seats are

synchronized with the front air bags, which

absorb part of the deceleration force. This

makes it possible to reduce the forces to which

vehicle occupants are subjected during an acci-

dent.

If the front-passenger seat is unoccupied,

do not insert the belt tongue into the buckle of

the front-passenger seat. This may otherwise

lead to the triggering of the Emergency Ten-

sioning Device in the event of an accident,

which will then need to be replaced.

Important safety notes

The use of seat belts and child restraint systems

is required by law in:

all 50 states

the U.S. territories

the District of Columbia

all Canadian provinces

Even where this is not required by law, all vehicle

occupants should correctly fasten their seat

belts before starting the journey.

WARNING

If the seat belt is incorrectly fastened, it can-

not protect as intended. Furthermore, an

incorrectly fastened seat belt can cause addi-

tional injury, for example, in an accident, dur-

ing braking or when abruptly changing direc-

tion. This poses an increased risk of injury or

even fatal injury.

Make sure that all vehicle occupants are

seated properly with a correctly fastened seat

belt.

WARNING

The seat belt does not offer the intended level

of protection if you have not moved the back-

rest to an almost vertical position. When brak-

ing or in the event of an accident, you could

slide underneath the seat belt and sustain

abdomen or neck injuries, for example. This

poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal

injury.

Adjust the seat properly before beginning

your journey. Always ensure that the backrest

is in an almost vertical position and that the

shoulder section of your seat belt is routed

across the center of your shoulder.

WARNING

Persons under 5 ft (1.50 m) in height cannot

fasten the seat belt correctly without an addi-

tional suitable restraint system. If the seat

belt is incorrectly fastened, it cannot protect

as intended. Furthermore, an incorrectly fas-

tened seat belt can cause additional injury, for

example, in an accident, during braking or an
