Mercedes-Ben zrecom mends that you have
NECK-PRO hea drestraint schecked at aquali-
fied specialist workshop, e.g. aMercedes-
Ben zService Cent re,followin garear-en dcol-
lision.
i Resetting the NECK -PRO head restraints
requires alot of strength. If you have diffi-
culty resettin gthe NECK -PRO head
restraints, have this work carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. Example: Coupé
X
Tilt the top of the NECK-PRO head restraint
cushio nforwards in the direction of
arrow :.
X Push the NECK -PRO head restraint cushion
down as far as it will go in the direction of
arrow ;.
X Firmly push the NECK-PRO head restraint
cushio nbackwards in the direction of

X Repeat this procedure for the second
NECK -PRO head restraint. Seat belts
Important safet ynotes Seat belts are the most effective means of
restrainin gthe movemen tofvehicle occu-
pant sint he even tofanaccide nt.T his reduce
sthe risk of vehicle occupants coming
int oc ontac twith parts of the vehicle interior. G
Risk of injury
As eat belt which is not worn cor rectly, or
which has not bee nengaged in the sea tbelt
buckle cor rectly, cannot perform its intended
prote ctive function .Under certain circum-
stances, this could cause severe or even fatal
injuries in the event of an accident.
Make sure that all occupants –inparticular,
pregnan twome n–w ear their seat belt cor-
rectly at all times.
R The seat belt must fit snugly on your body
and must no tbetwisted. Therefore, you
should avoid wearing bulky clothin g(e.g. a
winter coat) .The shoulder belt section
must be routed across the cen treofy our
shoulder –onnoaccount acros syour neck
or under your arm –and pulled tight against
your uppe rbody. The lap belt must always
pass across your lap as low down as possi-
ble, i.e. over your hip join ts–n ot across
your abdomen. If necessary ,push down the
belt strap slightly and then retighten it in
the roll-up direction.
R Do not route the belt strap across sharp
edge sorfragil eobjects, especially if these
are located on or in your clothing, e.g. spec-
tacles, pens, keys, etc. The seat belt strap
could be damaged and tear in an accident,
and you or other vehicl eoccupants could
be injured.
R Onl yone person should use each sea tbelt
at any one time. Children must never travel
sittin gont he lap of other occupan ts.It
would not be possible to restrain the child
in the event of asudden change in direc-
tion, braking or an accident .This could
result in sever eoreven fata linjuries to the
child and othe roccupants.
R Persons les sthan 1.50 mtall cannot wear
