If the vehicle overturns, the front air bags are
generally
not deployed. If the system detects
high vehicle deceleration in a longitudinal
direction, the front air bags are deployed.
If a child restraint system is installed to the
front-passenger seat and the 4
PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp
does not light up on the center console:
R a child restraint system without
transponders for air bag deactivation
system is installed or
R a child restraint system with transponders
is not properly installed.
Your vehicle has adaptive, two-stage front air
bags. In the event of a collision, the air bag
control unit evaluates the vehicle
deceleration. In the first deployment stage,
the front air bag is filled with enough
propellant gas to reduce the risk of injuries.
The front air bag is fully deployed if a second
deployment threshold is exceeded within a
few milliseconds.
The deployment of the front-passenger front
air bag is also influenced by the weight
category of the front passenger, which is
determined by the Occupant Classification
System (OCS) ( Y page 46).
The lighter the passenger side occupant, the
higher the vehicle deceleration rate required
(predicted at the start of the impact) for
second-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 air bags are not deployed in
situations where a low impact severity is
predicted. You will then be protected by the
fastened seat belt. Front-passenger front air bag will only deploy
if:
R
the system, based on the OCS weight
sensor readings, has detected that the
front-passenger seat is occupied.
R the 45
indicator lamp on the center
console is not lit (Y page 46).
R the air bag control unit predicts a high
impact severity.
Driver's knee bag Driver's knee bag : deploys under the
steering
column. It is deployed together with
the front air bags. The driver's knee bag is
designed to operate together with the front
air bags in frontal impacts if certain
thresholds are exceeded. The driver's knee
bag operates best in conjunction with
correctly positioned and fastened seat belts.
The driver's knee bag increases protection of
the driver against:
R knee injuries
R thigh injuries
R lower leg injuries
Side impact air bags G
WARNING
Only use seat covers which have been tested
and approved by Mercedes-Benz for your
vehicle
model. Using seat covers or other seat
coverings can cause a malfunction of the side
impact air bags and/or the pelvis air bags. Occupant safety

Never attempt to make modifications to seat
belts. This could impair the effectiveness of
the seat belts.
Fastening seat belts G
WARNING
According to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained on the rear
seats
than on the front-passenger seat. Thus,
we strongly recommend that children be
placed in the rear seat whenever possible.
Regardless of seating position, children 12
years old and under must be seated and
properly secured in an appropriately sized
child restraint system or booster seat
recommended for the size and weight of the
child. For additional information, see the
"Children in the vehicle" section.
A child's risk of serious or fatal injuries is
significantly increased if the child restraints
are not properly secured in the vehicle and/
or the child is not properly secured in the child
restraint. G
WARNING
Seat belt presenter : must be retracted
while
the vehicle is in motion. Only when seat
belt presenter : is retracted can the seat
belt be properly positioned on the body and
protect the occupant as intended. Seat-belt extender (example: Coupe)
The
seat-belt extender for the driver and front
passenger helps you fasten your seat belt.
Seat-belt extender : is extended when the respective door is closed and the SmartKey
is
turned to position 1 or 2 in the ignition lock. You can also extend seat-belt extender

R the respective door is opened.
R the
SmartKey is turned to position 0 in the
ignition lock.
R you release the seat backrest and fold it
