They are deployed:
R
at the start of an accident with a high rate
of vehicle acceleration or deceleration in a
longitudinal direction
R
if the system determines that airbag
deployment can offer additional protection
to that provided by the seat belt
R
if the seat belt is fastened
R
independently of other airbags in the vehi-
cle
If the vehicle overturns, the front airbags are
generally not deployed. The front airbags are
deployed if the system detects high vehicle
deceleration in a longitudinal direction.
Front-passenger airbag
; is only activated if
the system detects that the front-passenger
seat is occupied. The _ PASSENGER AIR-
BAG ON indicator lamp lights up for
60 seconds when the ignition is switched on.
The a PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator
lamp on the centre console is not lit
(
Y
page 49). This means that a child
restraint system without automatic child seat
recognition has been fitted to the front-
passenger seat, or a child restraint system
with automatic child seat recognition has
been fitted incorrectly.
!
Do not place heavy objects on the front-
passenger seat. The system may then
detect that the seat is occupied and if there
is an accident, the restraint systems on the
front-passenger side could be deployed.
Have restraint systems that have been trig-
gered replaced.
Sidebags
G 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. Otherwise, the sidebags cannot
deploy correctly and would fail to provide the
intended protection in the event of an acci-
dent. Appropriate seat covers can be
obtained, for example, from a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
When deployed, the sidebags offer additional
protection for the thorax of the vehicle occu-
pants on the side of the vehicle on which the
impact occurs. However, they do not protect
the:
R
head
R
neck
R
arms
Sidebags : deploy next to the outer seat
cushions.
The sidebags 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 sidebags are gen-
erally not deployed. Exception: if the system
detects high vehicle deceleration or acceler-
ation in a lateral direction and determines
that deployment can offer additional protec-
tion to that provided by the seat belt.
