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:
R Seat belt system
R Airbags
R Child restraint system
R Child seat securing systems The components of the restraint system work in
conjunction with each other. They can only
deploy their protective function if all vehicle
occupants always:
R fasten their seat belts correctly
(Y page 39)
R adjust their seat and head restraint properly
(Y page 93).
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 (Y page 93).
You also have to make sure that an airbag can
inflate properly if deployed (Y page 41).
An airbag supplements a correctly fastened seat belt. As an additional safety device, the airbag
increases the level of protection for vehicle
occupants in the event of an accident. For exam-
ple, if the protection of the seat belt is sufficient in an accident, the airbags are not deployed. In
the event of an accident, only the airbags that
increase protection in the relevant accident sit- uation are deployed. However, seat belts and
airbags generally do not protect against objects penetrating the vehicle from the outside.
Information on the restraint system operation
can be found under "Triggering of belt tension-
ers and airbags" (Y page 44).
For more information about children travelling
with you in the vehicle, see "Children in the vehi-
cle" (Y page 47). Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If the restraint system is modified, it may no
longer work as intended. The restraint system
may then not perform its intended protective function by failing in an accident or triggering
unexpectedly, for example. There is an
increased risk of injury, possibly even fatal.
Never modify parts of the restraint system. Do not attempt to modify the wiring as well as
electronic components or their software.
If it is necessary to modify an airbag system to
accommodate a person with disabilities, con-
tact a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. 36
Occupant safetySafety

Restraint system warning lamp
The functions of the restraint system are
checked after the ignition is switched on and at
regular intervals while the engine is running.
Therefore, malfunctions can be detected in
good time.
The 6 restraint system warning lamp in the
instrument cluster lights up when the ignition is switched on. It goes out no later than a few sec-
onds after the vehicle is started. The compo-
nents of the restraint system are in operational
readiness.
A malfunction has occurred if the 6restraint
system warning lamp:
R does not light up after the ignition is switched
on
R does not go out after a few seconds with the
engine running
R lights up again while the engine is running G
WARNING
If the restraint system is malfunctioning,
restraint system components may be trig-
gered unintentionally or might not be trig-
gered at all in the event of an accident with a high rate of vehicle deceleration. This can
effect belt tensioners or airbags, for example. There is an increased risk of serious or even
fatal injuries.
Have the restraint system checked and
repaired immediately at a qualified specialist
workshop. PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
:is
part of the automatic child seat recognition on
the front-passenger seat.
A permanently lit PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp informs you that the front-
passenger front airbag is disabled.
Depending on the person in the front-passenger seat, the front-passenger front airbag must
either be disabled or enabled; see the following
points. You must make sure of this both before
and during a journey.
R Children in a child restraint system:
whether the front-passenger front airbag is
enabled or disabled depends on the installed
child restraint system, and the age and size of the child. Therefore, it is imperative to
observe the notes on "Children in the vehicle"
(Y page 47). There you will also find infor-
mation on rearward or forward-facing child
restraint systems on the front-passenger
seat.
R All other persons: the PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF indicator lamp must be off. Be sure to
observe the notes on "Seat belts"
(Y page 37) and "Airbags" (Y page 41).
There you can also find information on the
correct seat position.
Observe the information on automatic child seat recognition in the front-passenger seat
(Y page 51). Seat belts
Introduction A correctly worn seat belt is the most effective
means of restraining the movement of vehicle
occupants in the event of a collision or if the
vehicle overturns. This reduces the risk of vehi- cle occupants coming into contact with parts of
the vehicle interior or being ejected from it. The
seat belt also helps to keep the vehicle occu-
pants in the best position in relation to the air-
bag being deployed.
The seat belt system consists of:
R seat belts
R belt tensioners for the front seat belts and the
outer seat belts in the rear
R belt force limiters for the front seat belts and
the outer seat belts in the rear Occupant safety
