Important safety notes

G

WARNING

Modifications to the restraint systems could

result in them not functioning properly any

more. The restraint systems could then no

longer protect vehicle occupants as they are

designed to do and could fail in the event of

an accident or activate unexpectedly, for

example. There is an increased risk of injury.

Never modify parts of the restraint systems.

Do not attempt to modify the wiring as well as

electronic components or their software.

The airbag system can be adapted for a per-

son with disabilities. For further information,

consult a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.

The seat belts, together with SRS (Supple-

mental Restraint System), are complemen-

tary, co-ordinated restraint systems

(Y page 41). They reduce the risk of injury

in specific, pre-defined types of accident sit-

uations and thereby increase occupant

safety. However, seat belts and airbags gen-

erally do not protect against objects pene-

trating the vehicle from the outside.

To ensure that the restraint systems can

deliver their full potential protection, make

sure that:

R

the seat and head restraint are adjusted

properly (Y page 94)

R

the seat belt has been fastened properly

(Y page 46)

R

the airbags can inflate without restriction if

deployed (Y page 42)

R

the steering wheel is adjusted properly

(Y page 100)

R

the restraint systems have not been modi-

fied

An airbag increases the protection of vehicle

occupants wearing a seat belt. However, air-

bags are only an additional restraint system

that complements, but does not replace, the

seat belt. All vehicle occupants must wear

their seat belt correctly at all times, even if

the vehicle is equipped with airbags. The air-

bags are not deployed in all types of acci-

dents. For example, if the protective capacity

of correctly fastened seat belts is not

increased by deploying the airbags, the air-

bags will not deploy.
