passenger in certain major frontal

and front-angled impacts.

The operational readiness of the

airbag system 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 con

tinues to monitor the components
and circuitry of the airbag system

and will indicate a malfunction by
coming on again.

The following system components

are  monitored  or  undergo  a  self
check:  crash-sensor,  airbag  igni
tion  circuits,  driver  and  passenger
seat  belt  buckles.  Initially,  when
the  key  is  turned  from  steering

lock  position  0  to  positions  1  or  2,
malfunctions  in  the  crash-sensor
are  detected  and  indicated  (the

“ SRS” indicator lamp stays on

longer than 4 seconds).

In the operational mode, after the
indicator lamp has gone out

following the initial check, inter

ruptions and short circuits in the

airbag ignition circuit and in the
driver and passenger seat belt

buckle  harnesses,  and  low  voltage
in  the  entire  system  are  detected
and  indicated.

In the event a malfunction of the

“ SRS” is indicated as outlined

above, the “ SR S” may not be
operational. We strongly recom

mend that you visit an authorized

Mercedes-Benz dealer im mediate

ly  to  have  the  system  checked;
otherwise  the  “ SRS”  may  not  be
activated  when  needed.

Both airbags may deploy, even if

the passenger seat is unoccupied.

The “SRS” airbags are designed

to activate only in certain frontal

and front-angled impacts. Only

during these types of impacts, if

of sufficient severity to meet the

deployment thresholds, will they

provide their supplemental

protection. The driver and

passenger should always wear

the seat belts, otherwise it is

not possible for the airbags to

provide their intended supple

mental protection.

In cases of other frontal im

pacts, roll-overs, certain side

impacts, rear collisions, or other

accidents without sufficient

frontal forces, the airbag will not

be activated. The driver and

passengers will then be pro

tected by the fastened seat

belts.

We caution you not to rely on

the presence of an airbag in

order to avoid wearing your seat

belt.

Important!
