Important!

The "SRS" is designed to reduce the

potential of injury in certain frontal

and front-angled impacts which may

cause 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 air-bags. This dust,

however, is neither injurious to your

health, nor does it indicate a fire in

the vehicle.

The service life of the airbags

extends to the date indicated on the

label located on the driver-side door

latch post To provide continued

reliability after that date, they

should be inspected by an authorized

MERCEDES-BENZ dealer at that

time and replaced when necessary.

Warning!

It is very important for your safety

to always be in a properly seated

position.

For maximum protection in the

event of a collision always be in

normal seated position with your

back against the seat back. Fasten

your seat belt and ensure that it is

properly positioned on the body.

Since the airbag inflates with

considerable speed and force, a

proper seating position will keep

you in a safe distance from the

airbag:

• Sit properly belted in an upright

position with your back against

the seat back.

• Do not lean with your head or

chest close to the steering wheel

or dashboard.

• Adjust the driver seat as far as

possible rearward, still permitting

proper operation of vehicle

controls.

• Adjust the passenger seat as far

as possible rearward from the

dashboard, especially when a

child restraint is installed.

• Infants and small children should

only be seated in an infant or

child restraint which is properly

secured by the seat belt.

• Rear-facing child restraints must

not be used in a front seat.

Failure to follow these instructions

can result in severe injuries to you or

other occupants.
