Resetting triggered NECK-PRO head
restraints
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have
NECK-PRO head restraints checked at a quali-
fied specialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre, following a rear-end col-
lision.
i
Resetting the NECK-PRO head restraints
requires a lot of strength. If you have diffi-
culty resetting the NECK-PRO head
restraints, have this work carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Example: Coupé

Firmly push the NECK-PRO head restraint
cushion backwards in the direction of

Seat belts
Important safety notes
Seat belts are the most effective means of
restraining the movement of vehicle occu-
pants in the event of an accident. This
reduces the risk of vehicle occupants coming
into contact with parts of the vehicle interior.
G
Risk of injury
A seat belt which is not worn correctly, or
which has not been engaged in the seat belt
buckle correctly, cannot perform its intended
protective function. Under certain circum-
stances, this could cause severe or even fatal
injuries in the event of an accident.
Make sure that all occupants – in particular,
pregnant women – wear their seat belt cor-
rectly at all times.
R
The seat belt must fit snugly on your body
and must not be twisted. Therefore, you
should avoid wearing bulky clothing (e.g. a
winter coat). The shoulder belt section
must be routed across the centre of your
shoulder – on no account across your neck
or under your arm – and pulled tight against
your upper body. The lap belt must always
pass across your lap as low down as possi-
ble, i.e. over your hip joints – not across
your abdomen. If necessary, push down the
belt strap slightly and then retighten it in
the roll-up direction.
R
Do not route the belt strap across sharp
edges or fragile objects, especially if these
are located on or in your clothing, e.g. spec-
tacles, pens, keys, etc. The seat belt strap
could be damaged and tear in an accident,
and you or other vehicle occupants could
be injured.
R
Only one person should use each seat belt
at any one time. Children must never travel
sitting on the lap of other occupants. It
would not be possible to restrain the child
in the event of a sudden change in direc-
tion, braking or an accident. This could
result in severe or even fatal injuries to the
child and other occupants.
R
Persons less than 1.50 m tall cannot wear
the seat belts correctly. For this reason,
secure persons less than 1.50 m tall in spe-
cially designed, suitable restraint systems.
