Risk of injury
When you are using the stowage box in the
luggage compartment, the backrests of the
seats directly in front of it must be fully
engaged to the rear and the combined lug-
gage cover and net must be fitted.
The maximum stowage box load is 20 kg. A
greater load could come loose in the event
of an accident or sudden and sharp braking,
and could injure yourself or other occu-
pants. 1

restraints
If the NECK-PRO head restraints are triggered
in an accident, you must reset the head
restraints on the driver's and front-passenger
seats. Otherwise, the additional protection
will not be available in the event of another
rear-end collision. You can recognise when
head restraints have been triggered by the
fact that they have moved forwards and can
no longer be adjusted.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have
NECK-PRO head restraints checked at a quali-
fied specialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre, following a rear-end
collision.
i If you have problems resetting the head
restraints, have this work carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. Practical advice
