Releasing the 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. Dam-
aged seat belts can no longer fulfil their
protective function and must be replaced.
Visit a qualified specialist workshop.

Belt warning for the driver and front
passenger
The 7 seat belt warning lamp in the instru-
ment cluster is a reminder for all occupants
to fasten their seat belts. It may light up con-
tinuously or flash. In addition, a warning tone
may sound.
The 7 seat belt warning lamp goes out and
the warning tone ceases when the driver and
the front passenger have fastened their seat
belt.
Only for certain countries: the 7 seat belt
warning lamp lights up for six seconds after
every engine start. It lights up regardless of
whether the driver's and front-passenger seat
belts have already been fastened. If the driv-
er's and front-passenger seat belts have
already been fastened, the 7 seat belt
warning lamp then goes out.

belt warning lamp, see "Warning and indi-
cator lamps in the instrument cluster, seat

Rear seat belt status indicator

seat belt is not fastened or if a seat is not
occupied, the ý symbol is displayed.

cator appears in the multifunction display for
around 30 seconds if:

imately 10 km/h.
R
the rear passengers fasten or unfasten
their seat belts while the vehicle is in
motion.

indicator immediately (
