Vehicles with an AMG performance seat: if
the front passenger seat is unoccupied, this can
lead to noise caused by the seat belt tongue
knocking against the seat. You can prevent this
by sliding the seat belt tongue upwards with the
belt clip. If the passenger seat is occupied again,
make sure that the belt clip is pushed down.
Only then will the seat belt fit tight to the body.
