Useful information
These Operating Instructions describe all the
models and standard and optional equipment of
your vehicle that were available at the time of
going to print. Country-specific differences are
possible. Bear in mind that your vehicle may not
be equipped with all the functions described.
This also applies to safety-relevant systems and
functions.
Read the information on qualified specialist
workshops (

Occupant safety
Introduction to the restraint system
The restraint system can reduce the risk of vehi-
cle occupants coming into contact with parts of
the vehicle's interior in the event of an accident.
The restraint system can also reduce the forces
to which vehicle occupants are subjected during
an accident.
The restraint system includes the:
R
seat belt system
R
driver's airbag
The components of the restraint system work in
conjunction with each other. They can only offer
protection if all vehicle occupants always:
R
have the seat belt correctly fastened
(
Y
page 51)
R
have the seat adjusted properly
(
Y
page 73)
Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the
head restraints must also be adjusted prop-
erly.
As the driver, you must also make sure that the
steering wheel is also adjusted properly.
Observe the information on the correct driver's
seat position (
Y
page 73).
In addition, you must make sure that the airbags
can inflate properly if they are deployed
(
Y
page 52).
The driver's airbag supplements a correctly
worn seat belt. As an additional safety device,
the driver's airbag increases the level of protec-
tion for the driver in the event of an accident.
The driver's airbag is not deployed, for example,
in the event of an accident in which sufficient
protection is offered by the seat belt. However,
the seat belt and driver's airbag generally do not
protect against objects penetrating the vehicle
from the outside.
Information on how the restraint system oper-
ates can be found under "Deployment of the belt
tensioner and driver's airbag" (
Y
page 53).
See "Children in the vehicle" for information on
children travelling with you in the vehicle as well
as on child restraint systems (
Y
page 54).
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If the restraint system is modified, it may no
longer work as intended. The restraint system
may then not perform its intended protective
function by failing in an accident or triggering
unexpectedly, for example. There is an
increased risk of injury, possibly even fatal.
Never modify parts of the restraint system. Do
not attempt to modify the wiring as well as
electronic components or their software.
If the vehicle is adapted to a person with a phys-
ical disability, contact a qualified specialist
workshop. Mercedes-Benz recommends that
you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Restraint system warning lamp
The functions of the restraint system are
checked after the ignition is switched on and at
regular intervals while the engine is running.
Therefore, malfunctions can be detected in
good time.
If the
6
restraint system warning lamp lights
up in the status area of the on-board computer,
the restraint system is malfunctioning.
G
WARNING
If the restraint system is malfunctioning,
restraint system components may be trig-
gered unintentionally or may not deploy as
intended during an accident. This may affect
the seat belt tensioner or airbag, for example.
This poses an increased risk of injury or even
fatal injury.
Have the restraint system checked and
repaired immediately at a qualified specialist
workshop.
