ethisi ntoa ccount, par-
ticularly if aseat belt tensioner was triggered or
an airbag was deployed.
An electric motor is used by PRE-SAFE ®
to trig-
ger th etightening of th eseat belt in hazardous
situations .This procedure is reversible.
If th ebelt tensioners are triggered or an airbag is
deployed, you will hear abang ,and asmall
amoun tofpowder may also be released. The
6 restraint system warning lamp light sup.
Only in rar ecases will th ebang affect your hear-
ing .Ing eneral, th epowder released is no thaz-
ardous to healt hbut may caus eshort-term
breathin gdifficulties to person ssufferin gfrom
asthma or other pulmonar yconditions. Provided
it is safe to do so, you shoul dleave th evehicle
immediately or open th ewindow in orde rtopre-
ven tbreathin gdifficulties.
Operation During th
efirst stage of acollision ,the restraint
system control unit evaluates important physi-
cal dat arelating to vehicle deceleratio noraccel-
eration ,suc ha s:
R duration
R direction
R intensity
Based on th eevaluation of this data, the
restraint system control unit trigger sthe seat
belt tensioners in th eeven tofah ead-on or rear
collision.
As eat belt tensioner can only be triggered if:
R thei gnition is switched on
R thec omponent softherestraint system are
operational. You can fin dfurther information
under: "Restrain tsystem warning lamp"
(Y page 40)
R theb elt tongue has engaged in th ebelt buckle
of th erespectiv efront seat
The seat belt tensioners in th erear compart-
men tare triggered independently of th elock
status of th eseat belts.
If th erestraint system control unit detect sahigh
severit yaccident, in certain head-on collisions,
additional component softherestraint system
are deployed independently of each other:

only be deployed in an acciden tifthe
PASSENGER AI RBAG ON indicator lamp is lit.
Observ ethe informatio nonthePASSENGER AIR
BA Gindicator lamps (Y page 40).
Your vehicle has two-stag efront airbags. In the
first deploymen tstage, th efront airbag is filled
with propellan tgas to reduc ethe risk of injuries.
The fron tairbag is fully deployed if th esecond
deploymen tstage is activated within afew mil-
liseconds.
The activation threshold for th eseat belt ten-
sioners and airbag sisdetermine dbased on the
evaluation of th evehicle's rat eofdeceleration
or acceleratio natvarious points in th evehicle.
This process is pre-emptive in nature. The trig-
gering/deployment process shoul dtakep lace
in good tim eatthestart of th ecollision.
The rat eofvehicle deceleratio noracceleration
and th edirection of th eforce are essentially
determine dby:
R thed istribution of forces durin gthe collision
R thec ollision angle
R thed eformatio ncharacteristics of th evehicle
R thec haracteristics of th eobject with which
th ev ehicle has collided
Factors whic hcan only be seen and measured
after acollision has occurre ddonotplay adeci-
sive role in th edeploymen tofanairbag,nor do
they provide an indication of airbag deployment.
The vehicle may be deformed significantly with-out an airbag bein gdeployed. This is th ecaseif
only part swhicha re relatively easily deformed

even though th evehicle suffers only minor
deformation. This is th ecasei f, for example,

WARNING
If the rear seat backrests are not locked, they
could fold forward sinthe event of an acci-
dent, heavy braking or sudden changes of
direction. As aresult, child restraint systems
cannot perform their intended protective
function. Rears eat backrests that are not
locked can also cause additional injuries, e.g. in the event of an accident. This poses an
increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Alwaysl ock rear seat backrests after fitting a

General notes Accident statisticss
how that children secured
in the rear seats are safer than children secured
in the front seats. For this reason, Mercedes-
Benz strongly advises that you fit achild
restraint system on arear seat.
Vehicles with the automatic co-driver's front air-
bag deactivation system: if it is absolutely nec-
essary to fit achild restraint system to the co-
driver's seat, always observe the notes on the
"Automatic co-driver's front airbag deactivation system" (Y page 47). You can thus avoid the risks that could arise as
ar esult of:
R ac hild restraint system that is not detected
by the automatic co-driver's front airbag
deactivation system
R the unintentional disabling of the co-driver's
front airbag
R the unsuitable positioning of the child
restraint system, e.g. too close to the dash-
board. Please observe the warning notice on the co-
driver's sun visor, see the illustration. G
WARNING
If you secure achild on the co-driver's seat in
ar earward-facing child restraint system and
the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp
lights up, the co-driver's airbag could be
deployed in the event of an accident. The child could be struck by the airbag. There is an
increased risk of injury, possibly even fatal.
In this case, always ensure that the co-driver's
airbag is disabled. The PASSENGER AIRBAG
OFF indicator lamp must light up.
NEVERu searearward-facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of
it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.

ababy car seat of category 0or0+orarearward-facing child restraint system of category
Ionar ear seat, you must adjust the driver's or front-passenger seat so that the seat does not touch
the child restraint system.
If you use acategory I, forward-facing child restraint system, you should remove the head restraint
from the respective seat, if possible (Y page 106). The backrest of the child restraint system must,
as far as possible, lie flat against the backrest of the seat.
Make sure that the child's feet do not touch the front seat. If necessary, move the front seat forward slightly.
For certain child restraint systems in weight categories II or III, this can mean that the area of use is restricted. The maximum size settingoft he child restraint system is not possible due to possible
contact with the roof.
Always observe the notes in the "Childr estraint system" section (Ypage 56) and the child restraint
system manufacturer's installation instructions.
When you remove the child restraint system you must replace the head restraint sagain immediately
(Y page 105). All vehicle occupants must adjust their head restraint scorrectly before beginning the
