Front side impact air bags : and rear side

impact air bags ; deploy next to the outer

bolster of the seat backrest.

When deployed, the side impact air bag offers

additional thorax protection. However, it does

not protect the:

R

head

R

neck

R

arms

In the event of a side impact, the side impact

air bag is deployed on the side on which the

impact occurs.

The side impact air bag on the front-

passenger side (front) deploys in the follow-

ing situations:

R

the OCS system detects that the front-

passenger seat is occupied or

R

the belt tongue is engaged in the belt

buckle of the front-passenger seat

If the belt tongue is engaged in the belt

buckle, the side impact air bag on the front-

passenger side deploys if an appropriate acci-

dent situation occurs. In this case, deploy-

ment is independent of whether the front-

passenger seat is occupied or not.

Head bags

Headbags are available in the Cabriolet.

Head bags : deploy in the area of the side

windows at the front.

When deployed, the headbag enhances the

level of protection for the head. However, it

does not protect your:

R

chest

R

arms

In the event of a side impact, the headbag is

deployed on the side on which the impact

occurs.

If the system determines that they can offer

additional protection to that provided by the

seat belt, a headbag may be deployed in other

accident situations (Y page 60).

The headbag on the front-passenger side

does not deploy under the following condi-

tions:

R

OCS has detected that the front-passenger

seat is unoccupied.

R

the front-passenger seat belt is not fas-

tened.

If the belt tongue is engaged in the belt

buckle, the headbag on the front-passenger

side deploys if an appropriate accident situa-

tion occurs. In this case, it will deploy regard-

less of whether the front-passenger seat is

occupied or not.

WARNING

Unsuitable seat covers could restrict or even

prevent the deployment of the air bags inte-

grated into the seats. Consequently, the air

bags cannot protect vehicle occupants as

they are designed to do. In addition, the func-

tion of the Occupant Classification System

(OCS) could be restricted. This poses an

increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.

You should only use seat covers that have

been approved for the respective seat by

Mercedes-Benz.
