Important note:
The air bag is designed to acti­
vate only in severe frontal im­
pacts within the shaded area
shown in the illustration on page
34. Only during these types of im­
pacts will it provide its supple­
mental protection. The driver
should always wear the seat belt,
otherwise it is not possible for
the air bag to provide its intended
protection.
In cases of less severe frontal im­
pacts, roll-overs, side or rear colli­
sions, or other accidents without
severe frontal forces, the air bag
will not be activated. The driver and
passenger will then be protected
by the fastened seat belts.
The activation of the “SRS” tempo­
rarily releases a small amount of
dust from the driver air bag and the
seat belt emergency tensioning
retractors. This dust, however, is
neither injurious to your health, nor
does it indicate a fire in the vehicle.
Important note:
The service life of the air bag ex­
tends to the date indicated on the
sticker on the inside of the glove
compartment door. To provide
continued reliability after that
date, it should be inspected by an
authorized MERCEDES-BENZ
dealer at that time and replaced
when necessary.
