&
WARNING Risk of injury due to modifica-
tions to the cover of an airbag
If you modify the cover of an airbag or affix
objects such as stickers to it, the airbag can
no longer function as intended.
#
Never modify the cover of an airbag.
#
Do not attach any objects to the cover.
The installation location of an airbag is identified
by the AIRBAG symbol (
/
page 54).
Objects in the deployment area of an airbag may
prevent the airbag from functioning correctly.
&
WARNING Risk of injury from objects in
the deployment area of an airbag
Objects in the deployment area of an airbag
can hinder or prevent the correct deployment
of the airbag.
The airbag may then deploy in an uncontrolled
manner and may even cause additional inju-
ries to the vehicle occupants by deploying.
This may be the case in particular if the airbag
is integrated into the seat.
#
Always stow and secure objects cor-
rectly.
#
Before commencing your journey, make
sure that no objects are stowed in the
deployment area of an airbag.
Observe the notes on loading the vehicle
(
/
page 149). When triggered, the centre airbag
deploys between the front seats (
/
page 54).
&
WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
the use of unsuitable seat covers
Due to unsuitable seat covers, the airbags
cannot protect vehicle occupants as intended.
In addition, the operation of the automatic
front passenger airbag shutoff could be
restricted.
#
You should only use seat covers that
have been approved for the correspond-
ing seats by Mercedes-Benz.
&
WARNING Risk of injury due to malfunc-
tioning sensors in the door
The function of the airbags can be impaired
due to modifications or incorrect work per-
formed on the doors or door trim, or if the
doors are damaged.
#
Never modify the doors or parts of the
doors.
#
Always have work on the doors or door
trim carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop.
