Safety and Security

Occupant safety

앫 Adjust the driver seat as far as possible

rearward, still permitting proper opera-

tion of vehicle controls. The distance

from the center of the driver’s breast-

bone to the center of the airbag cover on

the steering wheel must be at least ten

inches (25 cm) or more. You should be

able to accomplish this by a combina-

tion of adjustments to the seat and

steering wheel. If you have any prob-

lems, please see your authorized

Mercedes-Benz Center.

앫 Do not lean with your head or chest

close to the steering wheel or dash-

board.

앫 Keep hands on the outside of steering

wheel rim. Placing hands and arms in-

side the rim can increase the risk and

potential severity of hand/arm injury

when driver front airbag inflates.

앫 Adjust the front passenger seat as far as

possible rearward from the dashboard

when the seat is occupied.

앫 Occupants, especially children, should

never lean their heads in the area of the

door or the side where the head-thorax

and rear side-impact airbags inflate.

This could result in serious injuries or

death should the airbag be triggered. Al-

ways sit upright, properly use the seat

belts and appropriate size infant or child

restraint system.

앫 Children 12 years old and under must

never ride in the front seat, except in a

Mercedes-Benz authorized

BabySmart

TM

1

compatible child seat,

which operates with the BabySmart

TM

system installed in the vehicle to deacti-

vate the passenger front airbag when it

is properly installed. Otherwise they will

be struck by the airbag when it inflates

in a crash. If this happens, serious or fa-

tal injury will result.

Failure to follow these instructions can re-

sult in severe injuries to you or other occu-

pants.

If you sell your vehicle you are responsible

to make the buyer aware of these points.

Make sure to give the buyer this Operator’s

Manual.

Warning! G

Accident research shows that the safest

place for children in an automobile is in the

rear seat. Should you choose to place a child

12 years old or under in the passenger front

seat of your vehicle, you must properly use

a BabySmart

TM

child restraint which will

turn off the passenger front airbag.

BabySmart

TM

will not, however, turn off any

side impact airbag (front head-thorax airbag

and rear side impact airbags).

It should be noted that with respect to both

front and rear side impact airbags there is a

possibility for a side airbag related injury if

occupants, especially children, are not prop-

erly seated or restrained when next to a

front head-thorax airbag or a rear side im-

pact airbag which need to deploy rapidly in

a side impact in order to do its job.

To help avoid the possibility of injury, please

follow these guidelines:

never lean their heads in the area of the
