WARNING
Ignoring the belt status indicator can
cause serious injury. The system is not
a substitute for the full concentration of
the driver.
·
Before setting off, check whether the
number of seats shown in the instru-
ment cluster corresponds to the num-
ber of seats in the passenger compart-
ment.
·
Before setting off, check that all vehicle
occupants have fastened their seat
belts correctly.
WARNING
The buckle-up request is designed to de-
tect adult persons. If a seat is occupied by
lighter persons, in particular children, the
detection will not be reliable. The buckle-
up request also does not respond or only
in a limited way if child seats and seat
supports are used.
·
Always ensure that all vehicle occu-
pants, especially children, have fas-
tened their seat belts properly.
The vehicle may still detect seats
which have been removed but
left
near the vehicle.
If seats are subsequently replaced or
retrofitted, the seatbelt status indica-
tor must be activated by a suitably quali-
fied workshop
