Front airbags
The front airbags are intended to increase
the level of protection to prevent injuries
to the head and chest of the driver and
front-passenger. The driver’s front airbag
and the front-passenger's front airbag are
deployed:
at the start of an accident with high ve-
hicle acceleration or deceleration in a
longitudinal direction
if the system determines that airbag
deployment can offer additional pro-
tection to that provided by the seat belt
depending on whether the seat belt is
in use
independently of other airbags in the
vehicle
Front airbags are not deployed if the
vehicle overturns, unless the system
detects high vehicle deceleration in a
longitudinal direction.

ger's front airbag is inflated in front of and
above the glove compartment.

Risk of injury
After an airbag has been deployed:
airbag parts are hot. Do not touch them,
or you could be burned.
it must be replaced at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop which has the neces-
sary specialist knowledge and tools to
carry out 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.
G
Risk of injury
A small amount of powder is released when
an airbag is deployed. This powder is not
hazardous to health and does not indicate
that there is a fire in the vehicle. The powder
could cause short-term breathing difficulties
in people with asthma or breathing prob-
lems.
To prevent these breathing difficulties, you
should either:
leave the vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so
or
open the window to allow fresh air to en-
ter the interior
