51

The following system components are

monitored or undergo a self-check:

crash-sensor, airbag ignition circuits,

driver and passenger seat belt buckles.

Initially, when the key is turned from

steering lock position 0 to positions 1 or

2, malfunctions in the crash-sensor are

detected and indicated (the "SRS"

indicator lamp stays on longer than 4

seconds).

In the operational mode, after the

indicator lamp has gone out following

the initial check, interruptions and short

circuits in the airbag ignition circuit and

in the driver and passenger seat belt

buckle harnesses, and low voltage in the

entire system are detected and

indicated.

In the event a malfunction of the "SRS"

is indicated as outlined above, the

"SRS" may not be operational. We

strongly recommend that you visit an

authorized MERCEDES-BENZ dealer

immediately to have the system

checked; otherwise the "SRS" may not

be activated in a major frontal accident.

Important!

The airbags are designed to activate

only in certain frontal and front-

angled impacts (within the shaded

area shown in the illustration on

page 44). Only during these types of

impacts will they provide their

supplemental protection. The driver

and passenger should always wear

the seat belts; otherwise it is not

possible for the airbags to provide

their intended supplemental

protection.

In cases of other frontal impacts,

roll-overs, certain side impacts, rear

collisions, or other accidents without

frontal forces, the airbag will not be

activated. The driver and passengers

will then be protected by the fastened

seat belts.
