Restraint system
Protection provided by the restraint system
The restraint system comprises the following
components:
R
Seat belt system
R
Airbags
R
Child restraint system
R
Child seat securing systems
The restraint system can reduce the risk of vehi‐
cle occupants coming into contact with parts of
the vehicle's interior in the event of an accident.
The restraint system can also reduce the forces
to which vehicle occupants are subjected in the
event of an accident.
Only a seat belt which is worn correctly can pro‐
vide the intended level of protection. Depending
on the detected accident situation, Emergency
Tensioning Devices and/or airbags supplement a
correctly worn seat belt. Emergency Tensioning
Devices and/or airbags are not deployed in
every accident.
For the restraint system to provide its full protec‐
tion, each occupant must observe the following:
R
Fasten the seat belt correctly.
R
Be in an almost upright position with their
back against the seat backrest.
R
Sit with their feet resting on the floor, if pos‐
sible.
R
Always secure persons under 5 ft (1.50 m)
tall in an additional restraint system suitable
for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
However, no system available today can com‐
pletely eliminate injuries and fatalities in every
accident situation. In particular, the seat belt
and airbag generally do not protect against
objects penetrating the vehicle from the outside.
The risk of an injury resulting from airbag
deployment also cannot be ruled out entirely.
