Risk of injury
Have belt tensioners which have been trig-
gered replaced at a qualified specialist
workshop which has the necessary special-
ist knowledge and tools to carry out the
work required. Mercedes-Benz recommends
that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Cen-
tre for this purpose.
In particular, work relevant to safety or on
safety-related systems must be carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.
Comply with safety regulations when dis-
posing of belt tensioners. Any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre can provide
details of these regulations.
G
Risk of injury
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injuries
in the event of an accident or similar situa-
tion with a high rate of deceleration, e.g. in-
juries caused by an airbag inflating within
milliseconds or sudden braking, please ob-
serve the following points:
앫
All vehicle occupants must select a seat
position that allows the seat belt to be
worn correctly and that is as far away
from the airbag as possible. The driver’s
seat position must allow the vehicle to
be driven safely. The driver’s arms must
be slightly bent when holding the steer-
ing wheel. The driver must maintain a
distance from the pedals that allows
him/her to depress them fully.
앫
All vehicle occupants should always
wear their seat belt correctly and posi-
tion their backrest as close to the verti-
cal as possible. The head restraint
should support the back of your head at
about eye level.
