Occupant safety
Introduction to the restraint system
The restraint system can reduce the risk of vehi-
cle occupants coming into contact with parts of
the vehicle's interior in the event of an accident.
The restraint system can also reduce the forces to which vehicle occupants are subjected during
an accident.
The restraint system comprises:
Rseat belt system
Rair bags
Rchild restraint system
Rchild seat securing systems
The components of the restraint system work in
conjunction with each other. They can only
deploy their protective function if, at all times, all vehicle occupants:
Rhave fastened their seat belts correctly
(Ypage 44)
Rhave adjusted their seat and head restraint
properly (Ypage 96). As the driver, you also have to make sure that
the steering wheel is adjusted correctly.
Observe the information relating to the correct
driver's seat position (
Ypage 96).
You also have to make sure that an air bag can
inflate properly if deploye d(
Ypage 46).
An air bag supplements acorrectly worn seat
belt. As an additional safety device, the air bag
increases the level of protection for vehicle
occupants in the event of an accident. For exam-
ple, if, in the event of an accident, the protection
offered by the seat belt is sufficient, the air bags are not deployed. When an accident occurs, only
the air bags that increase protection in that par-ticular accident situation are deployed. How-
ever, seat belts and air bags generally do not
protect against object spenetrating the vehicle
from the outside.
Information on restraint system operation can
be found under "Triggering of the Emergency
Tensioning Devices and air bags" (
Ypage 53).
For information on children traveling with you in
the vehicle and on child restraint systems, see
"Children in the vehicle" (
Ypage 57).
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Modifications to the restraint system may
cause it to no longer work as intended. The
restraint system may then not perform its
intended protective function and may fail in an
accident or trigger unexpectedly, for example.
This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Never modify parts of the restraint system.
Never tamper with the wiring, the electronic
components or their software.
If it is necessary to modify an air bag system to
accommodate aperson with disabilities, con-
tact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for
details. USA only: for further information con-
tact our Customer AssistanceC enter at
1-800-FOR-MERCedes (1‑800‑367‑6372).

GWARNING
If the headr estraints are not installed or not
adjusted correctly, they cannot providep ro-
tection as intended. There is an increased risk
of injury in the heada nd neck area,e.g. in the
event of an accident or when braking.
Always drive with the headr estraints instal-

vehicleo ccupant that the center of the head
restraint supports the back of the heada t
about eye level.
GWARNING
The seat beltd oes not offer the intended level
of protection if you have not moved the back-
rest to an almost vertical position. When brak-
ing or in the event of an accident, you could
slid eunderneath the seat belta nd sustain
abdomen or neck injuries, for example. This
posesani ncreased risk of injury or even fatal
injury.
Adjust the seat properly before beginning

heating, observe the following information:
Rkeep liquid sfrom spilling on the seats. If
liquid is spilled on the seats, dry them as
soon as possible.
Rif the seat covers are damp or wet, do not
switch on the seat heating. The seat heat-
ing should als onot be used to dry the seats.
Rclea nthe seat covers as recommended;
see "Interio rcare".
Rdo not transport heav yloads on the seats.
Do not place sharp objects on the seat
cushions, e.g. knives, nail sortools. The
seats should only be occupied by passen-
gers, if possible.
Rwhen the seat heating is in operation, do
not cover the seats with insulating materi-
als ,e.g. blankets, coats, bags, seat covers,
child seats or booster seats.
!Make sure that there are no objects in the
footwel lunder or behind the seats when mov-
