WARNING
If you wish to use seat covers, Mercedes-Benz
recommends that, for safety reasons, you
only use seat covers that have been approved
for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
The seat covers must have a special tear seam
for sidebags/pelvisbags. Otherwise, the side-
bag/pelvisbag cannot deploy correctly and
would fail to provide the intended protection
in the event of an accident. Appropriate seat
covers can be obtained, for example, from a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Pelvisbags
:
enhance the level of protection
of the vehicle occupants on the side of the
vehicle on which the impact occurs.
Pelvisbags deploy next to and below the outer
seat cushions. They are deployed:
R
on the side on which an impact occurs
R
at the start of an accident with a high rate
of lateral vehicle deceleration or accelera-
tion, e.g. in a side impact
R
independently of the use of the seat belt
R
independently of the front airbags
R
independently of the belt tensioners
If the vehicle overturns, the pelvisbags are
generally not deployed. Sidebags are
deployed if the system detects high vehicle
deceleration or acceleration in a lateral direc-
tion and determines that sidebag deployment
can offer additional protection to that provi-
ded by the seat belt.
i Pelvisbags are only available in certain
countries.
Windowbags
Windowbags on the front-passenger side (exam-
ple: Saloon)
Windowbags
:
enhance the level of protec-
tion for the head (but not chest or arms), of
the vehicle occupants on the side of the vehi-
cle on which the impact occurs.
The windowbags are integrated into the side
of the roof frame and deployed in the area
from the A-pillar to the C-pillar.
Windowbags are deployed:
R
at the start of an accident with a high rate
of lateral vehicle deceleration or accelera-
tion, e.g. in a side impact
R
on the side on which an impact occurs
R
on the driver's and the front-passenger's
side if the vehicle overturns and the system
determines that deployment can offer addi-
tional protection to that provided by the
seat belt
R
independently of the use of the seat belt
R
regardless of whether the front-passenger
seat is occupied
R
independently of the front airbags
