왔 Occupant safety

In this section you will learn the most im-

portant facts about the restraint systems

of the vehicle.

The restraint systems are

앫 Seat belts

앫 Emergency tensioning device

앫 Airbags

앫 Child seats

앫 Child seat recognition

As independent systems their protective

effects work in conjunction with each oth-

er.

The 1 indicator lamp in the instrument

cluster lights up for about four seconds

when you turn the key in the steering lock

to position 1 or 2. It goes out when you

start the engine. This shows that the re-

straint systems are operational.

If the lamp does not come on at all or if it

fails to extinguish after approximately four

seconds or if it comes on thereafter, a mal-

function in the system has been detected.

More information can be found in the

“Practical hints” section (

컄 page 203).

Warning! G

In the event that the SRS malfunction indica-

tor lamp lights up during driving or does not

come on at all, the SRS may not be opera-

tional. For your safety, we strongly recom-

mend that you visit an authorized

Mercedes-Benz Center immediately to have

the system checked; otherwise the SRS may

not be activated when needed in an acci-

dent, which could result in serious or fatal

injury, or it might deploy unexpectedly and

unnecessarily which could also result in inju-

ry.

Improper work on the restraint systems, in-

cluding incorrect installation and removal,

can lead to possible injury through an unin-

tended activation of the SRS.

In addition, through improper work there is

a risk of rendering the SRS inoperative or

causing unintended airbag deployment.

Work on the SRS must therefore only be per-

formed by qualified technicians. Contact

your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
