I had a 75 240D. Memory is a bit fuzzy, but if I recall correctly, I think the owners manual did make mention of a seatbelt lockout. My car didn't require seatbelts connected to start, however I wasn't really sure if it had been disconnected previously. If I remember right, there may have been some sort of reset device underhood on the drivers side. There was some electrical stuff there that I could never quite identify, in fact I don't think I ever did figure out what those 2 fuses were for. See if Randy can have a shot at the owners manual. I will have a look at the old Chiltons book tomorrow and see if there's anything there (doubtful).
