WARNING
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recommends
only using seat covers which have been tested for
Mercedes-Benz vehicles and which are equipped
with a cutout for thorax airbags. Otherwise, thorax
airbags may not be able to inflate correctly and offer
the intended protection in an accident. This could
result in personal injury.
You can obtain suitable covers at a Mercedes-Benz
Service Center, for example.
Please also refer to the additional information in the
operator's manual of your vehicle.
