Safety Guidelines for the Seat Belt,
Emergency Tensioning Retractor
and Airbag
Warning!
•
Damaged belts or belts that
were highly stressed in an
accident must be replaced
and their anchoring points
must also be checked. Use
only belts installed or
supplied by an authorized
Mercedes-Benz dealer.
•
Do not pass belts over
sharp edges.
•
Do not make any modification
that could change
the effectiveness of the belts.
•
The "SRS" is designed to
function on a one-time-only
basis. An airbag or emergency
tensioning retractor
(ETR) that was activated
must be replaced.
•
No modifications of any
kind may be made to any
components or wiring of the
"SRS". This includes the
installation of additional trim
material, badges etc. over
the steering wheel hub or
front passenger airbag
cover and installation of
additional electrical/electronic
equipment on or near
"SRS" components and wiring.
•
Several airbag system
components at the steering
wheel get hot after the airbag has
inflated. Don't try to touch them.
•
Improper work on the sys
tem, including incorrect
installation and removal,
can lead to possible injury
through an uncontrolled
activation of the "SRS".
•
In addition, through improper
work there is the risk of
rendering the "SRS"
inoperative. Work on the
"SRS" must therefore only
be performed by an authorized
Mercedes-Benz dealer.
•
When scrapping the airbag
unit or emergency tensioning
retractor, it is mandatory
to follow our safety instruct
ions. These instructions are
available at your authorized
Mercedes-Benz dealer.
When you sell the vehicle we strongly
urge you to give notice to the subsequent
owner that it is equipped with an "SRS"
by alerting him to the applicable section
in the Owner's Manual.
