Safety and Security

Occupant safety

exceeded 15 mph (25 km/h) if either

the driver’s or front passenger’s seat

belt remains unfastened.

If the driver’s or front passenger’s seat

belt remains unfastened after

60 seconds, the seat belt telltale <

stops flashing and the warning chime

stops sounding. The seat belt

telltale < then continues to be illu-

minated for as long as either the driv-

er’s or front passenger’s seat belt are

not fastened.

The seat belt telltale < will only go out

if both the driver’s and the front passen-

ger’s seat belt (with the front passenger

seat occupied) are fastened, or the vehicle

is standing still and a front door is opened.

Emergency tensioning device (ETD),

seat belt force limiter

The seat belts for the front and rear outer

seats are equipped with emergency ten-

sioning devices and belt force limiters.

The ETD is designed to activate in the

following cases:

앫 in frontal or rear-end impacts

exceeding a preset severity level

앫 in certain vehicle rollovers

앫 if the restraint systems are operational

and functioning correctly, see

1 indicator lamp (

컄 page 390)

In an impact, emergency tensioning

devices remove slack from the belts in

such a way that the seat belts fit more

snugly against the body. Belt force limiters,

when activated, are employed to help

reduce the peak force exerted by the seat

belts on occupants during a crash.

The ETDs for the front seats will only

activate if the front seat belt is fas-

tened (latch plate properly inserted

into buckle).

The ETDs for the rear outer seats will

activate with or without the respective

seat belt fastened.

Warning! G

A pyrotechnic emergency tensioning device

(ETD) that was activated must be replaced.

When disposing of the pyrotechnic emer-

gency tensioning device, our safety instruc-

tions must be followed. These are available

at your authorized Mercedes-Benz Light

Truck Center.

PRE-SAFE* has electrically operated

reversible pre-tensioners that do not require

replacement after activation.
