Controls in detail Fastening the seat belts 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 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 restraint, toddler restraint, or booster seat always follow the child seat manufacturer's instructions. Check your seat belt during travel to make sure that it is properly positioned. Make sure the seat belt is always fitted snugly. Take special care of this when wearing loose clothing. Warning! For more information, see "Seat belts" ( page 52). Seat belt height adjustment The vehicle automatically adjusts the seat belt height for the driver's and front passenger's seats as well as for the rear outer seats. Comply with the instructions on how to properly fasten a seat belt ( page 360). 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 Center. 362
