Always ensure that an unused seat belt
is fully retracted.
Information on the beltbag in the rear seat
belt
The BELTBAG identification indicates that a rear
seat belt is equipped with a beltbag.
When activated, the beltbag increases the pro‐
tected area of the vehicle occupant's ribcage.

WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
use of a non-approved child restraint sys‐
tem
In an accident, the beltbag may damage a
non-approved child restraint system or a
child restraint system which has not been
approved for use in conjunction with the belt‐
bag.
#
Therefore, always use LATCH or ISOFIX
to fasten a child seat equipped with an
integrated restraint system.
#
For vehicles equipped with the optional
rear seat-belt airbags ("beltbag"), only
use a Mercedes-Benz approved booster
seat with integrated backrest.
#
Never use an airbag equipped seat belt
to fasten a front- or rear-facing child
seat or a non-approved booster seat.
#
Please contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center for information
on approved child restraint systems.
Fastening and adjusting seat belts
If the seat belt is pulled quickly or sharply, the
seat belt retractor locks. The seat belt strap can‐
not be pulled out any further.
Vehicles with illuminated design seat belt
buckles: the illuminated seat belt buckle makes
fastening your seat belt easier in certain situa‐
tions, for example, when ambient light condi‐
tions are poor.
% The illumination on the seat belt buckle does
not indicate that the seat belt buckle is func‐
tioning correctly.
#
Always engage seat belt tongue 2 of the
seat belt into seat belt buckle 1 of the cor‐
responding seat.
#
Press and hold the seat belt outlet release
and slide seat belt outlet 3 into the desired
position.
#
Let go of the seat belt outlet release and
ensure that seat belt outlet 3 locks into
position.
