WARNING Risk of injury or death if a
seat belt is unfastened while the vehicle
is in motion
If the seat belt is released while the vehicle is
in motion, the child restraint system is no
longer correctly secured. The child seat
safety feature is deactivated and the seat
belt is drawn in a bit by the inertia reel.
It is therefore not possible to engage the seat
belt again.
#
Pull over and stop the vehicle safely as
soon as possible, paying attention to
road and traffic conditions.
#
Activate the child seat safety feature
again and correctly secure the child
restraint system.
When enabled, the special seat belt retractor
ensures that the seat belts of the front
passenger seat and rear seats do not slacken
once the child restraint system is secured.
The seat belts on the following seats are equip‐
ped with a special seat belt retractor:
R
Front passenger seat
R
Rear seats
#
To install a child restraint system: when
installing a child restraint system, always
observe the manufacturer's installation and
operating instructions as well as the informa‐
tion in this Operator's Manual.
#
Pull the seat belt smoothly from the seat belt
outlet.
#
Engage the seat belt tongue in the seat belt
buckle.
#
To activate the special seat belt retrac‐
tor: pull the seat belt out fully and let the
inertia reel retract it again.
When the special seat belt retractor is activa‐
ted, you should hear a ratcheting sound.

Push the child restraint system down until
the seat belt sits tightly.
