Restraint system
Protection by the restraint system
The restraint system includes the following:
R
Seat belt system
R
Airbags
R
Child restraint system
R
Child seat securing system
The restraint system can reduce the risk of vehi‐
cle occupants coming into contact with parts of
the vehicle interior in the event of an accident. In
the event of an accident, the restraint system
can also reduce the forces to which the vehicle
occupants are subjected.
A seat belt can only provide the best level of pro‐
tection if it is worn correctly. Depending on the
detected accident situation, seat belt tensioners
and/or airbags supplement the protection
offered by a correctly worn seat belt. Seat belt
tensioners and/or airbags are not deployed in
every accident.
In order for the restraint system to provide the
intended level of protection, each vehicle occu‐
pant must observe the following information:
R
Fasten seat belts correctly.
R
Sit in an almost upright seat position with
their back against the seat backrest.
R
Sit with their feet resting on the floor, if pos‐
sible.
R
Always secure persons under 1.50 m tall in
an additional restraint system suitable for
Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
However, no system available today can com‐
pletely eliminate injuries and fatalities in every
accident situation. In particular, the seat belt
and airbag generally do not protect against
objects penetrating the vehicle from the outside.
It is also not possible to completely rule out the
risk of injury caused by the airbag deploying.

WARNING Risk of injury or death from
modifications to the restraint system
The restraint system can no longer function
correctly after alterations have been made.
The restraint system may then not protect
the vehicle occupants as intended by failing
in an accident or triggering unexpectedly, for
example
#
Never alter the parts of the restraint
system.
#
Never tamper with the wiring or any
electronic component parts or their
software.
If it is necessary to modify the vehicle to accom‐
modate a person with disabilities, contact a
qualified specialist workshop.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you only use
driving aids which have been approved specifi‐
cally for your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz.
