WARNING
Sensors to control the airbags are located in
the doors. Modifications or work not per-
formed correctly to the doors or door panel-
ling, as well as damaged doors, can lead to the
function of the sensors being impaired. The
airbags might therefore not function properly
any more. Consequently, the airbags cannot
protect vehicle occupants as they are
designed to do. This poses an increased risk
of injury.
Never modify the doors or parts of the doors.
Always have work on the doors or door pan-
elling carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop.
Front airbags
! Do not place heavy objects on the front-
passenger seat. This could cause the system
to identify the seat as being occupied. In the
event of an accident, the restraint systems on
the front-passenger side may be triggered
and have to be replaced.
Driver's airbag
:
deploys in front of the steer-
ing wheel. Front-passenger front airbag
;
deploys in front of and above the glove com-
partment and centre console.
When deployed, the front airbags offer addi-
tional head and thorax protection for the occu-
pants in the front seats.
The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
informs you about the status of the front-
passenger front airbag (
Y
page 46).
The front-passenger front airbag will deploy only
if:
R
the automatic front-passenger front airbag
deactivation system has detected that the
front-passenger seat is occupied
(
Y
page 52). The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp is not lit (
Y
page 53)
R
the restraint system control unit predicts a
high accident severity
Sidebags
G
WARNING
Unsuitable seat covers may obstruct or even
prevent deployment of the airbags integrated
into the seats. The airbags may then fail to
protect the vehicle occupants as intended.
Operation of the automatic co-driver's front
airbag deactivation system may also be
impaired. There is an increased risk of injury,
possibly even fatal.
Use only seat covers which have been specif-
ically approved for the respective seat by
Mercedes-Benz.
Sidebags
:
deploy next to the outer bolster of
the seat backrest.
When deployed, the sidebag offers additional
thorax and pelvis protection. However, it does
not protect the:
R
head
R
neck
R
arms
When the restraint system control unit detects a
side impact, the sidebag is deployed on the side
on which the impact occurs.
