Control indicator v for belt tensioners
The functionality of the belt tensioner
systems is monitored electronically
together with the airbag systems and
indicated via the control indicator v. When
the ignition is switched on, the control
indicator comes on for approximately
4 seconds. If it does not, or if it does not go
out after 4 seconds, or if it comes on while
driving, there is a fault in the belt tensioner
system or the airbag systems 3 74. The
systems might not be deployed in the event
of an accident.
In the event of a fault in the belt tensioners,
the LEDs flash in the button for switching
off the airbag systems, in addition to the
control indicator * coming on.
Deployment of the belt tensioners is
indicated by continuous illumination of v.
The system’s integrated self-diagnostics
allows faults to be quickly remedied.
Note
z Do not place or store items within the
working range of the seat belt tensioners
(near to the buckles or the seatbelt
retractor). Do not modify any tensioner
or retractor components or the vehicle’s
operating permit will be invalidated.
z The belt tensioner and airbag system
control electronics can be found in the
centre console area. In order to avoid
malfunctions, do not store magnetic
objects in this area.
9 Warning
Have the cause of the fault remedied
immediately by a workshop.
9 Warning
Incorrect handling (e.g. removal or fit-
ting of seat belts or belt buckles) can
cause the belt tensioners to deploy, with
risk of injury.
