2008 Mercedes R-Class Owner's Manual - Page 52

Getting started Driving Warning! G Warning! G Never ride in a moving vehicle with the seat backrest in an excessively reclined position as this can be dangerous. You could slide under the seat belt in a collision. If you slide under it, the belt would apply force at the abdomen or neck. That could cause serious or even fatal injuries. The seat backrest and seat belt provide the best restraint when the wearer is in a position that is as upright as possible and the seat belt is properly positioned on the body. Never let more people ride in the vehicle than there are seat belts available. Make sure everyone riding in the vehicle is correctly restrained with a separate seat belt. Never use a seat belt for more than one person at a time. Warning! G Read and observe the additional warning notices printed in the "Safety and Security" section ( page 74) and ( page 82). 1 Seat belt outlet 2 Latch plate 3 Buckle 4 Release button With a smooth motion, pull the seat belt out of seat belt outlet 1. 51
