bag
0044deploys in front of and above the glove
box.
The front air bags increase protection for the driver's and front passenger's head and
chest.
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 air bag
deployment can offer additional protection
to that provided by the seat belt
R independently of other air bags in the vehi-
cle
The release time of the front air bags is
dependent upon the use of the seat belt.
If the vehicle rolls over, the front air bags are
generally not deployed.
Your vehicle has adaptive, two-stage front air bags. The air bag control unit evaluates vehi-cle deceleration or acceleration in the event
of a collision. In the first deployment stage,
the front air bag is filled with part of the total
available propellant gas, thereby reducing the
risk of injury. If the air bag control unit rec-
ognizes within a few milliseconds that the
vehicle is being braked or accelerated faster
than originally predicted, the front air bag is
filled with the maximum amount of propellant gas available.
The deployment of the front-passenger front
air bag is also influenced by the weight cate-
gory of the front passenger, which is deter-
mined by the Occupant Classification System
(OCS) (Y page 47).
The lighter the passenger-side occupant, the
higher the vehicle deceleration rate required
(predicted at the start of the impact) for sec- ond stage inflation of the front-passenger
front air bag. In the second stage, the front air
bags are inflated with the maximum amount
of propellant gas available. The front-passenger front air bag will only
deploy if:
R the system, based on the OCS weight sen-
sor readings, detects that the front-
passenger seat is occupied
R the PASSENGER air bag OFF indicator lamp
on the center console is not lit
(Y page 47)
R the air bag control unit predicts a high
impact severity
The front air bags are not deployed in situa-
tions where a low impact severity is predic-
ted. You will then be protected by the fas-
tened seat belt.
Knee bags Driver's knee bag
0043deploys underneath the
steering column and front-passenger knee
bag 0044underneath the glove box. They
deploy together with the front air bags. They
are designed to operate together with the
front air bags in frontal impacts if certain
thresholds are exceeded. The knee bags
operate at best in conjunction with correctly
positioned and fastened seat belts.
Knee bags provide increased protection for
the driver and front passenger against the risk
of:
R knee injuries
R thigh injuries
R lower leg injuries Occupant safety

Have brake pads installed and brake fluid
replaced at a qualified specialist workshop.
If the brake system has only been subject to
moderate loads, you should test the function- ality of your brakes at regular intervals.
You can find a description of Brake Assist
(BAS) on (Y page 64).
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you only
have brake pads/linings installed on your
vehicle which have been approved for
Mercedes-Benz vehicles or which correspond to an equivalent quality standard. Brake
pads/linings which have not been approved
for Mercedes-Benz vehicles or which are not
of an equivalent quality could affect your vehi-
cle's operating safety.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you only
use brake fluid that has been specially
approved for your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz,
or which corresponds to an equivalent quality standard. Brake fluid which has not been
approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles or
which is not of an equivalent quality could
affect your vehicle's operating safety.
Checking brake lining thickness You can measure the break pad/lining thick-
ness using a test gauge. Color-coding (green
or red) on the test gauge allows you to deter-
mine whether the brake pad/lining thickness is still sufficient. The test gauge is in the vehi-
cle document wallet in the glove box. Front wheel

X Bring the vehicle and wheels into a suitable
position so that you can attach test gauge
0083.
X Secure the vehicle against rolling away
(Y page 157).
X Move the selector lever to position P.
X Switch off the engine.
X Place test gauge 0083between the wheel's
spokes on brake pad/lining 0087.164

R
Always store objects so that they cannot be
flung around in these or in similar situa-
tions.
R Always make sure that objects do not pro-
trude from stowage compartments, parcel
nets or stowage nets.
R Close lockable stowage compartments
while driving.
R Stow and secure objects that are heavy,
hard, pointy, sharp-edged, fragile or too
large in the trunk.
Observe the loading guidelines (Y page 256).
