Occupant safety

Comply with safety regulations when dis-

posing of belt tensioners. Any Mercedes-

Benz Service Centre can provide details of

these regulations.

Airbags

Airbag deployment slows down and restricts

the movement of the vehicle occupant.

If the airbags are deployed, you will hear a

bang and a small amount of powder may also

be released. Only in rare cases will the bang

affect your hearing. The powder that escapes

does not generally constitute a health hazard.

The 1warning lamp lights up.

The SRS/AIRBAG identification indicates the

location of the airbags.

GRisk of injury

Airbags provide additional protection; they

are not, however, a substitute for seat

belts.

Observe the following notes to reduce the

risk of serious or even fatal injury if an air-

bag is deployed:

Rall vehicle occupants — in particular preg-

nant women — must wear their seat belt

correctly at all times and lean back

against the backrest, which should be

positioned as close to the vertical as pos-

sible. The head restraint must support

the back of the head at about eye level.

Ralways secure children less than 1.50 m

tall or under 12 years of age in suitable

child restraint systems.

Rall vehicle occupants must select a seat

position that is as far away from the air-

bag as possible. The driver's seat posi-

tion must allow the vehicle to be driven

safely. The driver's chest should be as far

away from the middle of the driver's front

airbag cover as possible.

Rmove the front-passenger seat as far

back as possible, especially if a child is

secured in a child restraint system on the

seat.

Rvehicle occupants – in particular, chil-

dren – must not lean their head on the

area of the window in which a sidebag or

head/thorax airbag* is deployed.

RRearward-facing child restraint systems

must not be fitted to the front-passenger

seat unless the front-passenger front air-

bag has been disabled. The front-

passenger front airbag of a vehicle fitted

with automatic child seat recognition* is

only disabled when a child restraint sys-

tem with automatic child seat recogni-

tion is fitted to the front-passenger seat.

The 5PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF

warning lamp must be constantly lit.

If the front-passenger seat of your vehicle

does not have automatic child seat rec-

ognition*, or your rearward-facing child

restraint system does not have such a

feature, children must be secured in a

child restraint system on a suitable seat

in the rear. If you secure a forward-facing

child restraint system to the front-

passenger seat, you must move the front-

passenger seat as far back as possible.

Rmake sure there are no heavy or sharp-

edged objects in pockets of clothing.

Rdo not lean forwards, e.g. over the cover

of the driver's front airbag, particularly

when the vehicle is in motion.

Rdo not put your feet on the dashboard.

Ronly hold the steering wheel by the rim.

This allows the airbag to inflate fully. You

could be injured if the airbag is deployed

and you are holding the inside of the

steering wheel.
