Rear seat belt status indicator
Rear seat belt status indicator (example: CLS
Coupé)
The rear-compartment seat belt status indi-
cator indicates the rear seat on which the belt
is fastened. In the example, the occupant on
the left-hand rear seat (in the direction of
travel) has fastened their seat belt. The
ü symbol in the display indicates a fas-
tened seat belt. If a seat belt is not fastened
or if a seat is not occupied, the ý symbol
is displayed.
The rear-compartment seat belt status indi-
cator appears in the multifunction display for
around 30 seconds if:
R
you drive off and reach a speed of approx-
imately 10 km/h.
R
the rear passengers fasten or unfasten
their seat belts while the vehicle is in
motion.
R
someone gets in or out of the vehicle and
the vehicle drives off again.
You can also cancel the rear seat belt status
indicator immediately (

The status indicator for the rear-compart-
ment seat belts is only available for certain
countries.
Belt tensioners, belt force limiters
G WARNING
If the seat belt tensioners have been trig-
gered, they provide no additional protection
in the event of another accident. Therefore,
have belt tensioners which have been trig-
gered replaced at a qualified specialist work-
shop.
Comply with safety regulations when dispos-
ing of belt tensioners. Any Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre can provide details of these
regulations.
!
If the front-passenger seat is not occu-
pied, do not engage the seat belt tongue in
the buckle on the front-passenger seat.
Otherwise, the belt tensioner could be trig-
gered in the event of an accident.
The seat belts are fitted with belt tensioners.
The belt tensioners tighten the seat belts in
an accident, pulling them close against the
body.
Belt tensioners do not correct incorrect seat
positions or incorrectly fastened seat belts.
Belt tensioners do not pull vehicle occupants
back towards the backrest.
If the seat belt is also fitted with a belt force
limiter and this is triggered, the force exerted
by the seat belt on the vehicle occupant is
reduced.
The belt force limiters for the front seats are
synchronised with the front airbags, which
take on a part of the deceleration force. This
results in the force exerted on the occupant
being distributed over a greater area.
The belt tensioners can only be activated
when:
R
the ignition is switched on.
R
the restraint systems are operational; see
"SRS warning lamp" (
Y
page 41).
R
the belt tongue is engaged in the buckle on
each of the three-point seat belts in front.
The belt tensioners on the seats in the rear
compartment are triggered independently of
the lock status of the seat belts.
The belt tensioners are triggered depending
on the type and severity of an accident:
R
if, in the event of a head-on or rear-end col-
lision, the vehicle decelerates or acceler-
ates rapidly in a longitudinal direction dur-
ing the initial stages of the impact
R
if, in the event of a side impact, on the side
opposite the impact the vehicle deceler-
