iNot all air bags are deployed in an accident.
The different air bag systems work independ-
ently of each other.
How the air bag system works is determined
by the severity of the accident detected,
especially the vehicle deceleration or accel-
eration and the apparent type of accident:
Rfrontal collision
Rside impact
Rrollover
NECK-PRO head restraints/NECK-
PRO luxury head restraints
Important safety notes
GWARNING
The function of the head restraint may be
impaired if you:
Rattach objects such as coat hangers to the
head restraints, for example
Ruse head restraint covers
If you do so, the head restraints cannot fulfill
their intended protective function in the event of an accident. In addition, objects attached
to the head restraints could endanger other
vehicle occupants. There is an increased risk
of injury.
Do not attach any objects to the head
restraints and do not use head restraint cov-
ers.
Method of operation
NECK-PRO head restraints/NECK-PRO luxury
head restraints offer additional protection
against head and neck injuries. In the event of a
rear collision of a certain severity, the NECK-
PRO head restraints/NECK-PRO luxury head
restraints on the driver's and front-passenger
seats are moved forwards and upwards. This
provides better head support.
If the NECK-PRO head restraints/NECK-PRO
luxury head restraints have been triggered in an
accident, reset the NECK-PRO head restraints/
NECK-PRO luxury head restraints on the driver's
seat and the front-passenger seat
(
Ypage 45). Otherwise, the additional protec-
tion will not be available in the event of another rear-end collision. You can see that a NECK-PRO
head restraint/NECK-PRO luxury head restraint
has been triggered if it is tilted forward and can
no longer be adjusted.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have the
functionality of the NECK-PRO head restraints/
NECK-PRO luxury head restraints checked at a
qualified specialist workshop after a rear-end
collision.
Resetting a triggered NECK-PRO head
restraint/NECK-PRO luxury head

arrow;.
XWith your hand flat, firmly push the NECK-
PRO head restraint cushion backwards in the
direction of arrow =until it engages.
XRepeat this procedure for the second NECK-
PRO head restraint.
iResetting the NECK-PRO head restraints
requires a lot of strength. If you have difficulty
resetting the NECK-PRO head restraints, have
this work carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop.

Automatic measures after an acci-
dent
Immediately after an accident, the following
measures are implemented, depending on the
type and severity of the impact:
Rthe hazard warning lamps are activated
Rthe emergency lighting is activated
Rthe vehicle doors are unlocked
Rthe front side windows are lowered
Rthe electrically adjustable steering wheel is
raised
Rthe engine is switched off and the fuel supply
is cut off
Rvehicles with mbrace: automatic emergency
call
Children in the vehicle
Important safety notes
Accident statistics show that children secured
in the rear seats are safer than children secured
in the front seats. For this reason, Mercedes-
Benz strongly advises that you install a child
restraint system on a rear seat. Children are
generally better protected there.
If a child younger than twelve years and under
5 ft (1.50 m) in height is traveling in the vehicle:
Ralways secure this child in a restraint system
approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The
child restraint system must be appropriate to
the age, weight and size of the child.
Rbe sure to observe the instructions and safety
notes in this section in addition to the child
restraint system manufacturer's installation
instructions.
GWARNING
If you leave children unsupervised in the vehi-
cle, they could set it in motion by, for example:
Rrelease the parking brake.
Rshift the automatic transmission out of the
parking position P.
Rstart the engine.
In addition, they may operate vehicle equip-
ment and become trapped. There is a risk of
an accident and injury.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the
SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle. Never
leave children unsupervised in the vehicle.
GWARNING
If persons, particularly children are subjected to prolonged exposure to extreme heat or
cold, there is a risk of injury, possibly even
fatal. Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle.
