bag is deployed.

R

rearward-facing child restraint systems

must not be fitted to the front-passenger

seat unless the front-passenger airbag has

been disabled. On the front-passenger

seat, the front-passenger airbag is disabled

if a child restraint system with a trans-

ponder for automatic child seat recognition

is fitted to the front-passenger seat in a

vehicle equipped with automatic child seat

recognition. The 4 PASSENGER AIRBAG

OFF indicator lamp must be continuously

lit.

If the front-passenger seat of your vehicle

does not have automatic child seat recog-

nition, or your rearward-facing child

restraint system does not have a trans-

ponder for automatic child seat recogni-

tion, 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.

R

make sure there are no heavy or sharp-

edged objects in the pockets of clothing.

R

do not lean forwards, e.g. over the cover of

the driver's/front-passenger front airbag,

particularly when the vehicle is in motion.

R

do not put your feet on the dashboard.

R

only hold the steering wheel on the outside.

This allows the airbag to be fully deployed.

You could be injured if the airbag is

deployed and you are holding the inside of

the steering wheel.

R

do not lean on the doors from inside the

vehicle.

R

make sure that there are no people, ani-

mals or objects between the vehicle occu-

pants and the area where the airbags are

deployed.

R

do not place any objects between the seat

backrest and the door.

R

do not hang any hard objects, e.g. coat

hangers, on the grab handles or coat hooks.

R

do not attach accessories, e.g. cup holders,

to the doors.

It is not possible to rule out a risk of injury

being caused by an airbag, due to the high

speed at which the airbag must be deployed.

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 is

released generally does not constitute a

health hazard. The 6 SRS warning lamp

lights up.

The airbag installation locations are identified

by the AIRBAG symbol.

G

WARNING

If you modify the airbag covers or affix

objects, e.g. stickers to them, the airbags may

no longer function as intended. There is an

increased risk of injury.

Never modify the airbag covers and do not

affix any objects to them.

G

WARNING

Unsuitable seat covers may obstruct or even

prevent deployment of the airbags integrated

into the seats. The airbags may then fail to

protect the vehicle occupants as intended.

Operation of the automatic child seat recog-

nition may also be impaired. There is an

increased risk of injury, possibly even fatal.

Use only seat covers which have been specif-

ically approved for the respective seat by

Mercedes-Benz.

G

WARNING

After the driver's airbag has been deployed,

the airbag parts are hot. There is a risk of

injury.
