airbags deactivated, then deactivation can be
accomplished upon your written election to do so at
your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center at an
additional cost. Please contact your local
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or call our

one-time-only basis. An airbag or emergency
tensioning device (ETD) that was activated
must be replaced.• No modifications of any kind may be made to
