Occupant safety

Safety guidelines for the seat belt,

emergency tensioning device and

air bag

Air bags are designed to deploy only in cer-

tain frontal impacts (front air bags, driver-side

knee bag), and in side impacts (side impact and

window curtain air bags) which exceed preset

thresholds, and in certain rollovers (window cur-

tain air bags). Only during these events will they

provide their supplemental protection.

The driver and passengers should always wear

their seat belts. Otherwise it is not possible for

air bags to provide their supplemental protec-

tion.

In case of other types of impacts and impacts be-

low air bag deployment thresholds, air bags will

not deploy. The driver and passenger will then be

protected to the extent possible by a properly

fastened seat belt. A properly fastened seat belt

is also needed to provide the best possible pro-

tection in a rollover.

We caution you not to rely on the presence of the

air bags in order to avoid wearing your seat belt.

It is important to your safety and that of your pas-

sengers that you replace deployed air bags and

repair any malfunctioning air bags to make sure

the vehicle will continue to provide supplemental

crash protection for occupants.

Warning! G

앫 Damaged seat belts or seat belts that

were highly stressed in an accident

must be replaced and their anchoring

points must also be checked. Only use

seat belts installed or supplied by an au-

thorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

앫 Air bags and pyrotechnic Emergency

Tensioning Devices (ETDs) are designed

to function on a one-time-only basis. An

air bag or ETD that is deployed must be

replaced. PRE-SAFE

has electrically

operated reversible pre-tensioners in

addition to the pyrotechnic ETDs.

앫 Air bags and Emergency Tensioning De-

vices (ETDs) contain Perchlorate materi-

al, which may require special handling

and regard for the environment. Check

with your local government’s disposal

guidelines. California residents, see

http://www.dtsc.ca.gov/HazardousWa

ste/Perchlorate/index.cfm.

앫 Do not pass seat belts over sharp edges.

They could tear.

앫 Do not make any modification that could

change the effectiveness of the seat

belts.

앫 Do not bleach or dye seat belts as this

may severely weaken them. In a crash

they may not be able to provide ade-

quate protection.
