Safety and Security

Occupant safety

When you sell your vehicle we strongly

urge you to give notice to the subsequent

owner that it is equipped with an SRS by

alerting them to the applicable section in

the Operator’s Manual.

Front air bags

1 Driver’s air bag

2 Passenger front air bag

Driver and front passenger air bags are

deployed:

앫 in the event of certain frontal impacts

앫 if impact exceeds a preset deployment

threshold

앫 independently of the side impact

air bags

앫 In addition, improper repair work on the

SRS creates a risk of rendering the SRS

inoperative or causing unintended air

bag deployment. Work on the SRS must

therefore only be performed by qualified

technicians. Contact an authorized

Mercedes-Benz Center.

앫 For your protection and the protection

of others, when scrapping the air bag

unit or emergency tensioning device,

our safety instructions must be fol-

lowed. These instructions are available

from your authorized Mercedes-Benz

Center.

앫 Given the considerable deployment

speed, required inflation volume, and

the textile structure of the air bags,

there is the possibility of abrasions or

other more significant injuries resulting

from air bag deployment.

i

The front air bags in this vehicle have

been designed to inflate in two stages.

This allows the air bag to have different

rates of inflation that are based on the

rate of relevant vehicle deceleration as

assessed by the air bag control unit.

On the front passenger side, the front

air bag deployment is additionally

influenced by the passenger’s weight

category as identified by the Occupant

Classification System (OCS)

(

컄 page 73).

The lighter the front passenger side

occupant, the higher the vehicle

deceleration rate required for the

second stage inflation of the air bag.
