Air bags

Warning! G

In the event that the 1 indicator lamp

comes on during driving or does not come

on at all, the SRS self-check has detected a

malfunction. For your safety, we strongly

recommend that you visit an authorized

Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center immedi-

ately to have the system checked; otherwise

the SRS may not deploy when needed in an

accident, which could result in serious or fa-

tal injury, or it might deploy unexpectedly

and unnecessarily which could also result in

injury.

In addition, improper work on the SRS

creates a risk of rendering the SRS inopera-

tive or causing unintended air bag deploy-

ment. Work on the SRS must therefore only

be performed by qualified technicians. Con-

tact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Light

Truck Center.

If it is necessary to modify an air bag system

to accommodate a person with disabilities,

contact your local authorized

Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center or call

our Customer Assistance Center at

1-800-FOR-MERCedes (1-800-367-6372)

for details.

Warning! G

Air bags are designed to reduce the poten-

tial of injury and fatality in certain frontal im-

pacts (front air bags), side impacts (side

impact air bags and head protection window

curtain air bags) or rollovers (head protec-

tion window curtain air bags). However, no

system available today can totally eliminate

injuries and fatalities.

The deployment of the air bags 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 dust might cause some tem-

porary breathing difficulty for people with

asthma or other breathing trouble. To avoid

this, you may wish to get out of the vehicle

as soon as it is safe to do so. If you have any

breathing difficulty but cannot get out of the

vehicle after the air bag inflates, then get

fresh air by opening a window or door.
