In this section you will learn the most im-
portant facts about the restraint systems
of the vehicle.
The restraint systems are:
앫
Seat belts
앫
Emergency tensioning device
앫
Airbags
앫
Child seats
앫

앫
Lower anchors and tethers for children

As independent systems their protective

er.
The
1
indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up
앫
for about four seconds when you turn
the key in the starter switch to
position
1 or press the KEYLESS-GO*
start/stop button once. It then goes
out briefly, lights up again and remains
lit until you start the engine.
앫
for about four seconds when you start
the engine by turning the key or press-
ing the KEYLESS-GO* start/stop but-
ton.
The restraint systems are fully operational
if the
1
indicator lamp is not lit when
the engine is running.
A malfunction in the system has been de-
tected, if the
1
indicator lamp:
앫
fails to go out after approximately four
seconds.
앫
does not come on at all.
앫
comes on after the engine was started
or while driving.
For safety reasons, we strongly recom-
mend that you visit an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center immediately to
have the system checked.
