Unfastening the seat belts

buckle
Unfasten seat belts only when the vehicle
is stationary.
1. Press the red button on the belt buckle
→ Fig. 24 . The latch plate is released
and springs out.
2. Guide the belt back by hand so that it
rolls up easily, without twisting the seat
belt and without damaging the trim.
Twisted seat belt
If it is difficult to remove the seat belt from
the belt guide, the seat belt may have be-
come twisted if it was returned too quickly
into the side trim:
1. Take hold of the latch plate then slowly
and carefully pull out the seat belt.
2. Untwist the seat belt and guide it back
slowly by hand.
3. Fasten the seat belt even if you are un-
able to undo the twist.
However, the twist should not be in part
of the seat belt that comes into direct
contact with the body.
4. Contact a correspondingly qualified
workshop as soon as possible to have
the twist removed.
