Safety and security
Wearing seat belts
E To fasten your seat belt: pull the belt
smoothly from the seat belt reel holder.
E Route the belt over your shoulder.
E Click belt latch plate 2 into buckle 4.
E Pull the shoulder section of the belt up-
wards to tighten the belt against your
body if necessary.
E The upper section of the belt must be
routed centrally over the shoulders.
Adjust the belt to the appropriate
height as necessary.
A child must never be carried sitting on the
lap of a vehicle occupant. It would not be pos-
sible to restrain the child, and in the event of
abrupt braking or an accident, the child and
other vehicle occupants could be seriously or
fatally injured.
Children 12 years old and under cannot wear
their seat belt properly. They therefore re-
quire additional restraint systems on suitable
vehicle seats for protection in an accident.
Always observe the installation instructions
issued by the manufacturer of the child re-
straint systems.
G Warning
The seat belt only provides its intended de-
gree of protection if the seat backrest is posi-
tioned as vertically as possible, allowing the
occupant to sit upright. Avoid seat positions
that do not allow the seat belt to be routed
correctly. Therefore, position the backrest as
vertically as possible. Never drive with the
backrest tilted too far back. You could other-
wise be seriously or even fatally injured in the
event of an accident or abrupt braking.
G Warning
The seat belt cannot perform its protective
function correctly if the seat belt strap or
buckle is dirty or damaged. You should there-
fore keep the belt strap and buckle clean, as
otherwise the belt latch plate may not be able
to engage correctly.
Check regularly that the seat belts:
O are not damaged
O are not routed over sharp edges
O are not trapped
The belt strap could otherwise tear in the
event of an accident. You or others could be
seriously or fatally injured.
G Warning
Always have seats belts that are damaged or
that have been subjected to a heavy load in
an accident replaced, and their anchorages
checked, at an authorized Sprinter Dealer. In
particular, work relevant to safety or on safe-
ty-related systems must be carried out at an
authorized Sprinter Dealer.
