been hit and the required rate of decelera-
tion has not been reached. It is also possi-
ble that airbags may be deployed even
though the vehicle is only slightly de-
formed if, for example, very rigid vehicle
parts such as the longitudinal members
are hit in an accident and the rate of de-
celeration is sufficient.
Belt tensioners, belt force limiters
The front seat belts and the outer seat
belts in the rear are equipped with belt
tensioners and belt force limiters.
!
Do not engage the seat belt tongue in the
buckle on the front-passenger seat if the seat
is not occupied. Otherwise the belt tensioner
could be activated in an emergency.
If the seat belt is also equipped with a belt
force limiter, the force exerted by the seat
belt on the seat occupant is reduced.
Belt tensioners tighten the seat belts in an
accident, pulling them close against the
body.
i
Belt tensioners do not correct incorrect
seat positions or incorrectly fastened seat
belts.
Belt tensioners do not pull occupants back to-
wards the backrest.
The front belt force limiters are synchron-
ised with the front airbags, which spread
the forces exerted by the belt force limit-
ers on the occupant over a greater area.
When the ignition is switched on, the belt
tensioner is triggered:
I only when the restraint systems are op-
erational (the

lights up after the ignition is switched
on and goes out once the engine is run-
ning) (

front of the vehicle when the belt
tongue is engaged in the buckle

collision if the vehicle decelerates or
accelerates rapidly in a longitudinal di-
rection during the initial stages of the
collision

the front-passenger seat is occupied
and the belt tongue is engaged in the
buckle
I in a serious head-on collision, i.e. if the
vehicle decelerates extremely rapidly in
a longitudinal direction during the initial
stages of the collision
If the belt tensioners are triggered, you will
hear a bang that will not damage your
hearing. A small amount of powder may al-
so be released. The

lamp lights up.
G
Risk of injury
Have belt tensioners which have been trig-
gered replaced at a qualified specialist
workshop which has the necessary special-
ist 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 sys-
tems must be carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Comply with safety regulations when dis-
posing of belt tensioners. Any Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre can provide details of
these regulations.
