Safety Guidelines for the Seat Belt,

Emergency Tensioning Retractor

and Airbag

Warning!

• Damaged belts or belts that were

highly stressed in an accident

must be replaced and their

anchoring points must also be

checked. Use only belts installed

or supplied by an authorized

Mercedes-Benz dealer.

• Do not pass belts over sharp

edges.

• Do not make any modification

that could change the

effectiveness of the belts.

• The "SRS" is designed to

function on a one-time-only

basis. An airbag or emergency

tensioning retractor (ETR) that

was activated must be replaced.

• No modifications of any kind

may be made to any components

or wiring of the "SRS". This

includes the installation of

additional trim material, badges

etc. over the steering wheel hub

or front passenger airbag cover

and installation of additional

electrical/electronic equipment

on or near "SRS" components

and wiring.

• Several airbag system

components at the steering wheel

get hot after the airbag has

inflated. Don't try to touch them.

• Improper work on the system,

including incorrect installation

and removal, can lead to possible

injury through an uncontrolled

activation of the "SRS".

• In addition, through improper

work there is the risk of

rendering the "SRS"

inoperative. Work on the "SRS"

must therefore only be

performed by an authorized

Mercedes-Benz dealer.

• When scrapping the airbag

unit or emergency tensioning

retractor, it is mandatory

to follow our safety instruct

ions. These instructions are

available at your authorized

Mercedes-Benz dealer.

When you sell the vehicle we strongly

urge you to give notice to the subsequent

owner that it is equipped with an "SRS"

by alerting him to the applicable section

in the Owner's Manual.
