Getting started Driving Opening the rear center seat belt Press release button 6 on buckle 5 for the free-sliding latch plate ( page 45). Press release button 3 on buckle 2 for the fixed latch plate ( page 45). Storing the rear center seat belt Allow rear center seat belt to retract to its end stop. Guide both latch plates 4 and 7 once upon another into attachment 1 ( page 45). Warning! Proper use of seat belts Do not twist the belt when fastening. Adjust seat belt so that the shoulder portion is located as close as possible to the middle of the shoulder (it should not touch the neck). Never pass the shoulder portion of the belt under your arm. Position the lap belt as low as possible on your hips (over hip joint) and not across the abdomen. Place the seat backrest on adjustable seat backrests in a nearly upright position. Never use a seat belt for more than one person at a time. Do not fasten a seat belt around a person and another object at the same time. When using a seat belt to secure infant or toddler restraints or children in booster seats, always follow the child seat manufacturer's instructions. Check your seat belt during travel to make sure it is properly positioned. Make sure the seat belt is always fitted snugly. Take special care of this when wearing loose clothing. Warning! G Do not pass belts over sharp edges. They could tear. Do not allow the belt to get caught in the door or in the seat adjustment mechanism. This could damage the belt. Never attempt to make modifications to seat belts. This could impair the effectiveness of the belts. Do not bleach or dye seat belts as this may severely weaken them. In a crash, they may not be able to provide adequate protection. Damaged seat belts or belts that were highly stressed in an accident must be replaced. Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center. G To help prevent the possibility of injury, always store the rear center seat belt latch plates in the attachment when the rear center seat belt is not in use. 47
