Seat belts and integrated restraint system

Your vehicle is equipped with seat belts for all seats, 
emergency tensioning retractors for all outboard seat 
belts, dual front airbags, door mounted side impact 
airbags, and head protective window curtain airbags. 
Their protective functions are designed to complement 
one another.

Seat belts

Important!

Laws in most states and all Canadian provinces require 
seat belt use. 

All states and provinces require use of child restraints 
that comply with U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety 
Standard 213 and Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety 
Standard 213.

All child restraints systems are designed to be secured 
in vehicle seats by lap belts or the lap belt portion of a 
lap-shoulder belt.

For your safety and that of your passengers we strongly 
recommend their use.

Warning!

Children 12 years old and under must never ride in 
the front seat, except in a Mercedes-Benz 
authorized BabySmart

TM

 compatible child seat, 

which operates with the BabySmart

TM

 system 

installed in the vehicle to deactivate the passenger 
side front airbag when it is properly installed. 
Otherwise they will be struck by the airbag when it 
inflates in a crash. If this happens, serious or fatal 
injury will result.

According to accident statistics, children are safer 
when properly restrained in the rear seating 
positions than in the front seating positions. 
Infants and small children must ride in back seats 
and be seated in an appropriate infant or child 
restraint system, which is properly secured with 
the vehicle’s seat belt, fully in accordance with the 
child seat manufacturer’s instructions.

A child’s risk of serious or fatal injuries is 
significantly increased if the child restraints are 
not properly secured in the vehicle and the child is 
not properly secured in the child restraint.
