any difficulties, please contact an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
R
Do not lean your head or chest close to
the steering wheel or dashboard.
R
Keep hands on the outside of the steering
wheel rim. Placing hands and arms inside
the rim can increase the risk and
potential severity of hand/arm injury
when the driver front air bag inflates.
R
Adjust the passenger seat as far as
possible rearward from the dashboard
when the seat is occupied.

Occupants, especially children, should
never place their bodies or lean their
heads in the area of the door where the
head-thorax air bag inflates. This could
result in serious injuries or death should
the head-thorax air bag be deployed.
Always sit as upright as possible, wear
the seat belt properly and use an
appropriately sized infant restraint,
toddler restraint, or booster seat
recommended for the size and weight of
the child.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in severe injuries to you or other
occupants.
If you sell your vehicle, it is important that
you make the buyer aware of this safety
information. Be sure to give the buyer this
Operator’s Manual.
There is a possibility of a head-thorax air
bag-related injury if occupants, especially
children, are not properly seated or
restrained when next to a head-thorax air
bag which needs to deploy rapidly in a side
impact in order to do its job.
To help avoid the possibility of injury,
please follow these guidelines:
(1)
Occupants, especially children,
should never place their bodies
or lean their heads in the area of
the door where the head-thorax
air bag inflates. This could result
in serious injuries or death
should the head-thorax air bag
be deployed.
(2)
Always sit as upright as possible,
properly use the seat belts, and
for children 12 years old and
under, use an appropriately
sized infant restraint, toddler
restraint, or booster seat
recommended for the size and
weight of the child.
(3)
Always wear seat belts properly.
If you believe that, even with the use of
these guidelines, it would be safer for your
passenger seat occupants to have the
passenger side head-thorax air bag
deactivated, then deactivation can be
carried out upon your written request at an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center at an
additional cost.
Please contact an local authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center or call the
Customer Assistance Center (in the USA)
at 1-800-FOR-MERCedes
(1-800-367-6372), or Customer Service (in
Canada) at 1-800-387-0100 for details.
Air bags are designed to deploy only in certain
frontal impacts (front air bags, driver’s side
knee bag) and in side impacts (head-thorax
air bags) which exceed preset deployment
thresholds. Only in the event of such a
situation will they provide their supplemental
protection.
