Supplemental Restraint System
Driver Airbag
If your vehicle is additionally
equipped with a driver airbag, this
can be recognized by the letters
“SRS” stamped into the steering
wheel hub pad and by the indicator
lamp “SRS” (Supplemental Restraint
System) in the instrument cluster.
The airbag (1) is located in the steer
ing wheel hub and, in conjunction
with wearing the seat belts with
tensioning retractors (2), provides
increased protection for the driver.
The operational readiness of the
supplemental restraint system
(airbag and emergency tensioning
retractor) is verified by the indicator
lamp “ SRS” (3) in the instrument
cluster. With the key in steering lock
position “1” or “2”, the indicator lamp
comes on for about 10 seconds then
goes out. If it doesn’t come on,
doesn’t go out, flickers on and off, or
comes on while driving, the system
is malfunctioning.
This will not cause the supplemental
restraint system to be activated.
However, we strongly recommend
that you visit an authorized
MERCEDES-BENZ dealer immedia
tely to have the system checked;
otherwise the “ SRS" may not be
activated in a severe frontal accid
ent.
The airbag is designed to activate
only in severe frontal impacts (see
illustration on page 25). Only during
these types of impacts will it provide
its supplemental protection. The
driver should always wear the seat
belt, otherwise it is not possible for
the airbag to provide its intended
protection.
