whether the front-passenger seat is occupied
or not.
! Vehicles with BabySmart™ (Canada only):
do not place any objects which weigh more
than 20 lb (9 kg) on the front-passenger
seat. This could cause the system to
identify the seat as being occupied. In the
event of an accident, the restraint systems
on the front-passenger side are triggered.
Have restraint systems that have been
triggered replaced.
Pelvis air bags
G
Warning
Observe "Important safety notes"
(
Y
page 36).
Pelvis air bags are not available on AMG
vehicles.
G
Warning
Only use seat covers which have been tested
and approved by Mercedes-Benz for your
vehicle model. Using seat covers or other seat
coverings can cause a malfunction of the side
impact air bags and/or the pelvis air bags.
Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
for availability.
Pelvis air bag deployment enhances the level
of protection of the vehicle occupants on the
side of the vehicle on which the impact
occurs.
Pelvis air bags
:
deploy next to and below
the outer seat cushions. They are deployed:
R
on the side on which an impact occurs
R
at the start of an accident with a high rate
of lateral vehicle deceleration or
acceleration, e.g. in a side impact
R
independently of seat belt use
R
independently of the front air bags
R
independently of the Emergency
Tensioning Devices
Pelvis air bags
:
will not deploy in side
impacts with deceleration rates which do not
exceed the system’s preset deployment
thresholds for vehicle deceleration or
acceleration. You will then be protected by
the seat belt.
Vehicles with OCS (USA only): if the OCS
detects that the front-passenger seat is not
occupied and the front-passenger seat belt is
not fastened (the belt tongue is not engaged
in the seat belt buckle), the pelvis air bag on
the front-passenger side will not deploy. The
pelvis air bag on the front-passenger side will
deploy if the front-passenger seat belt is
fastened, regardless of whether the front-
passenger seat is occupied or not.
Window curtain air bags
G
Warning
Observe "Important safety notes"
(
Y
page 36).
The window curtain air bags enhance the level
of protection for the head (but not chest or
arms) of the vehicle occupants on the side of
the vehicle on which the impact occurs.
The window curtain air bags are integrated
into the side of the roof frame and deploy in
the area extending from the front door (A-
pillar) to the rear door (C-pillar).
