In cases of other frontal impacts, angled impacts,

roll-overs, other side impacts, rear collisions, or

other accidents in which the airbags are not

designed to deploy, the airbags will not be activated.

The driver and passenger will then be protected by

the fastened seat belts.

We caution you not to rely on the presence of the

airbags in order to avoid wearing your seat belt.

Your vehicle was originally equipped with airbags

which are designed to activate in certain impacts

exceeding a preset threshold to reduce the potential

and severity of injury. It is important to your safety

and that of your passenger that you replace deployed

airbags and repair any malfunctioning airbags to

ensure the vehicle will continue to provide crash

protections for occupants.

Warning!

Airbags are designed to reduce the potential of

injury in certain frontal (front airbags) impacts,

and side (side impact airbags) impacts which may

cause significant injuries, however, no system

available today can totally eliminate injuries and

fatalities.

The activation of the “SRS” temporarily releases a

small amount of dust from the airbags. This dust,

however, is neither injurious to your health, nor

does it indicate a fire in the vehicle. The dust might

cause some temporary breathing difficulty for

people with asthma or other breathing trouble. To

avoid this, you may wish to get out of the vehicle as

soon as it is safe to do so. If you have any breathing

difficulty but cannot get out of the vehicle after the

airbag inflates, then get fresh air by opening a

window or door.

The service life of the airbags extends to the date

indicated on the label located on the driverside

door latch post. To provide continued reliability

after that date, they should be inspected by an

authorized Mercedes-Benz Center at that time and

replaced when necessary.
