For more information about types of accidents,

see "Overview of deployment situations"

(/ page 48).

The activation thresholds for the components of

the restraint system are determined based on the

evaluation of the sensor values measured at vari-

ous points in the vehicle. This process is pre-emp-

tive in nature. The triggering/deployment of the

components of the restraint system must take

place in good time at the start of the collision.

Factors which can only be seen and measured

aer a collision has occurred cannot play a deci-

sive role in airbag deployment. Nor do they pro-

vide an indication of airbag deployment.

The vehicle may be deformed signicantly without

an airbag being deployed. This is the case if only

parts which are relatively easily deformed are

aected and the rate of vehicle deceleration is

not high. Conversely, an airbag may be deployed

even though the vehicle suers only minor defor-

mation. If very rigid vehicle parts such as longitu-

dinal members are hit, this may result in su-

ciently high levels of vehicle deceleration.

Depending on the apparent type of accident and

the detected deployment situation, seat belt ten-

sioners and/or airbags supplement the protection

oered by a correctly worn seat belt.

When enabled, an airbag can provide additional

protection for the respective vehicle occupant.

Potential protection provided by each airbag:

RKnee airbag: thigh, knee and lower leg

RDriver's airbag, front passenger airbag: head

and ribcage

RWindow airbag: head

RSide airbag: ribcage and pelvis

*NOTE Mercedes-AMG vehicles

#Observe the notes in the Supplement.

You could otherwise fail to recognise

dangers.

However, no system available today can com-

pletely eliminate injuries and fatalities in every

accident situation. In particular, the seat belt and

airbag generally do not protect against objects

penetrating the vehicle from the outside. It is also

not possible to completely rule out the risk of

injury caused by the airbag deploying.

Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have the

vehicle towed to a qualied specialist workshop

aer an accident. Take this into account, particu-

larly if a seat belt tensioner is triggered or an air-

bag deployed.

If the seat belt tensioners are triggered or an air-

bag is deployed, you will hear a bang, and a small

amount of powder may also be released:

RThe bang will not generally aect your hearing.

RIn general, the powder released is not hazard-

ous to health but may cause short-term

breathing diculties to persons suering from

asthma or other pulmonary conditions.

Provided it is safe to do so, leave the vehicle

immediately or open the window in order to

prevent breathing diculties.
