Driver Air Bag
The air bag (1) is located in the
steering wheel hub and, in conjunc­
tion with wearing the seat belts
with emergency tensioning retrac­
tors (2), provides increased protec­
tion for the driver.
The operational readiness of the
supplemental restraint system (air
bag and ETR’s) is verified by the
indicator lamp “SRS” (3) in the
instrument cluster. If no fault is
detected, the lamp will go out after
approximately 4 seconds; after the
lamp goes out, the system conti­
nues to monitor the components
and circuitry of the “SRS” and will
indicate a malfunction by coming
on again:
The following system components
are monitored or undergo a self­
check: crash-sensor, air bag igni­
tion circuit, driver and front passen­
ger seat belt buckles. Initially, when
the key is turned from steering lock
position 0 to positions 1 or 2, mal­
functions in the crash-sensor are
detected and indicated (the “SRS”
indicator lamp stays on).
In the operational mode, after the
indicator lamp has gone out after
the initial check, interruptions and
short circuits in the air bag ignition
circuit and in the driver and front
passenger seat belt buckle har­
nesses, and low voltage in the en­
tire system are detected and indi­
cated.
In the event a malfunction of the
“SRS” is indicated as outlined
above, we strongly recommend that
you visit an authorized MERCEDES-
BENZ dealer immediately to have
the system checked; otherwise the
“SRS” may not be activated in a
severe frontal accident.
