WARNING Risk of injury or death when
additional restraint systems are not used
for persons with a smaller build
Persons under 1.50 m tall cannot wear the
seat belt correctly without a suitable addi‐
tional restraint system.
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.
#
Always secure persons under 1.50 m
tall in a suitable restraint system.
&
WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
damaged or modified seat belts
Seat belts cannot provide protection in the
following situations:
R
the seat belt is damaged, has been modi‐
fied, is extremely dirty, bleached or dyed
R
the seat belt buckle is damaged or
extremely dirty
R
modifications have been made to the seat
belt tensioner, seat belt anchorage or
seat belt retractor
Seat belts may sustain non-visible damage in
an accident, e.g. due to glass splinters.
Modified or damaged seat belts could tear or
fail in the event of an accident, for example.
Modified belt tensioners may be deployed
unintentionally or not function as intended.
#
Never modify the seat belts, seat belt
tensioners, seat belt anchorages or
seat belt retractors.
#
Make sure that the seat belts are not
damaged, are not worn and are clean.
#
Always have the seat belts checked
immediately after an accident at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you only use
seat belts that have been approved for your vehi‐
cle by Mercedes-Benz.
Vehicles with AMG Performance seats
The AMG Performance seat is designed for the
standard three-point seat belt. If you fit a differ‐
ent multipoint seat belt, e.g. sport or racing seat
belt, the restraint system cannot provide the
intended level of protection.
&
WARNING Risk of injury or fatal injury
due to modified seat belt systems
If you feed seat belts through the opening in
the seat backrest, the seat backrest may be
damaged or may even break in the event of
an accident.
#
Only use the standard three-point seat
belt.
#
Never modify the seat belt system.
