WARNING Rick of burns from hot airbag
components
The airbag parts are hot after an airbag has
been deployed.
#
Do not touch the airbag parts.
#
Have a deployed airbag replaced at a
qualified specialist workshop as soon
as possible.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have the
vehicle towed to a qualified specialist workshop
after an accident. Take this into account, partic‐
ularly if a seat belt tensioner is triggered or an
airbag deployed.
If the seat belt tensioners are triggered or an air‐
bag is deployed, you will hear a bang, and a
small amount of powder may also be released:

The bang will not generally affect your hear‐
ing.

In general, the powder released is not haz‐
ardous to health but may cause short-term
breathing difficulties to persons suffering
from asthma or other pulmonary conditions.
Provided it is safe to do so, leave the vehicle
immediately or open the window in order to
prevent breathing difficulties.
Seat belts
Protection provided by the seat belt
Always fasten your seat belt correctly before
starting a journey. A seat belt can only provide
the best level of protection if it is worn correctly.
&
WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
incorrectly fastened seat belt
If the seat belt is not worn correctly, it can‐
not perform its intended protective function.
In addition, an incorrectly fastened seat belt
can also cause injuries, for example, in the
event of an accident or when braking or
changing direction suddenly.
