Risk of injury
You could be injured in an accident if you
use seat belts which:
앫
are damaged
앫
have been subjected to a load in an ac-
cident
앫
have been modified
The seat belts can then neither operate as
intended nor perform their protective func-
tion as intended.
앫
Do not route the belt strap across sharp
edges. It could tear in the event of an ac-
cident.
앫 Make sure that the seat belt is not
caught in the door or in the seat adjust-
ment mechanism. It could be damaged.
앫
You should never modify the seat belts
yourself. They might not function prop-
erly any more.
앫
Always have seat belts which have been
damaged or subjected to a heavy load in
an accident replaced at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop which has the neces-
sary specialist knowledge and tools for
the work required. Mercedes-Benz
recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this
purpose. In particular, work relevant to
safety or on safety-related systems
must be carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
