Occupant safety
Introduction to the restraint system
The restraint system can reduce the risk of vehi-cle occupant scomin ginto 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 occupant sare subjected during
an accident.
The restraint system comprises:
RSeat belt system
RAir bags
RChild restraint system
RChild seat securings ystems
The component softhe restraint system work in
conjunction with each other .They can only
deploy their protective function if, at all times, all
vehicle occupants:
Rhave fastened their seat belts correctly
(Ypage 41)
Rhave the seat and head restraint adjusted
properly (Ypage 74)
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 (
Ypage 74).
You also have to make sure that an air bag can
inflate properly if deployed (
Ypage 43).
An air bag supplement sacorrectly worn seat
belt. As an additional safety device, the air bag
increases the level of protection for vehicle
occupant sinthe event of an accident. For exam-
ple, if, in the event of an accident, the protection
offered by the seat belt is sufficient, the air bags
are not deployed. When an accidento ccurs,only
the air bags that increase protection in that par- ticular accidents ituation are deployed. How-
ever, seat belts and air bags generally do not
protec tagainst objects penetratin gthe vehicle
from the outside.
Information on restraint system operation can
be found under "Triggering of the Emergency
Tensioning Devices and air bags" (
Ypage 46).
See "Children in the vehicle" for information on
children travelin gwith you in the vehicle as well
as on child restraint systems (
Ypage 49).
Important safetyn otes
GWARNING
Modifications to the restraint system may
cause it to no longer work as intended. The
restraint system may then not perform its
intended protective function and may fail in an
accidentort rigger unexpectedly, for example.
This poses an increased risk of injur yoreven
fatal injury.
Never modify parts of the restraint system.
Never tamper with the wiring, the electronic
component sortheir software.
If it is necessary to modify component softhe
restraint system to accommodate aperson
with disabilities, contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center for details. USA only:
for further information contact our Customer
Assistance Center at 1-800-FOR-MERCedes
(1‑ 800‑367‑ 6372).
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you only use
driving aids which have been approved specifi-
cally for your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz.
Restraint system warning lamp
The function softhe restraint system are
checked after the ignition is switched on and at
regular intervals while the engin eisrunning.
Therefore, malfunctions can be detected in
good time.
The 6 restraint system warning lamp on the
instrument cluster lights up when the ignition is
switched on. It goes out no later than afew sec-
onds after the vehicle is started. The compo-
nents of the restraint system are in operational
readiness.
Am alfunction has occurred if the 6restraint
system warning lamp:
Rdoes not light up after the ignition is switched
on
Rdoes not go out after afew seconds with the
engin erunning
Rlights up again while the engin eisrunning

If the restraint system is malfunctioning,

gered unintentionally or may not deploy as
intended during an accident.This can affect
for example the Emergency Tensioning
Device or the air bag. This poses an increased
risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Have the restraint system checked and
repaired in aqualified specialist workshop as
soon as possible.
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp :is
part of the BabySmart™ air bag deactivation
system.
Ap ermanently lit PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp informs you that the front-
passenger front air bag is deactivated.
Depending on the person in the front-passenger
seat, the front-passenger front air bag must
either be deactivated or enabled; see the fol-
lowing points. You must make sure of this both
before and during ajourney.
RChildren in achild restraint system:
whether the front-passenger front air bag is
enabled or deactivated depends on the instal- led child restraint system, and the age and
size of the child. Therefore, always observe
the information on "Children in the vehicle"
(
Ypage 49). There you will also find instruc-
tions on rearward and forward-facingc hild
restraint systems on the front-passenger
seat.
RAll other persons: the PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF indicator lamp must be off. Be sure to
observe the notes on "Seat
belts“ (
Ypage 39) and "Air bags"
(Ypage 43). There you can also find infor-
mation on the corrects eat position. Observe the information on the BabySmart™ air
bag deactivation system in the front-passenger
seat (
Ypage 53).
Seat belts
Introduction
Seat belts are the most effective means of
restricting the movement of vehicle occupants
in the event of an accident or the vehicle rolling
over. This reduces the risk of vehicle occupants
coming into contact with parts of the vehicle
interior or being ejected from the vehicle. Fur-
thermore, the seat belt helps to keep the vehicle
occupant in the best position in relation to the
air bag.
The seat belt system comprises:
RSeat belts
REmergency Tensioning Devices for the front
seat belts and the outer seat belts in the rear
RSeat belt force limiters
If the seat belt is pulled out at the belt sash guide
quickly or with ajerk ym ovement ,the belt
retractor locks. The belt strap cannot be extrac-
ted any further.
The Emergency Tensioning Device tighten sthe
seat belt in an accident,p ulling the belt close
against the body. However it does not pull the
vehicle occupant back in the direction of the
backrest.
The Emergency Tensioning Device does not cor-
rect an incorrect seat position or the routing of
an incorrectly fastened seat belt.
When triggered, aseat belt force limiter helps to
reduce the force exerted by the seat belt on the
vehicle occupant.
The seat belt force limiters for the front seats are
synchronized with the front air bags, which
absorb part of the deceleration force. This can
reduce the force exerted on the vehicle occu-
pants during an accident.
!If the front-passenger seat is unoccupied,
do not insert the belt tongue into the buckle of
the front-passenger seat. This may otherwise
lead to the triggering of the Emergency Ten-
sioning Device in the event of an accident,
which will then need to be replaced.

Proper use of the seat belts
Observe the safety notes on the seat belt
(Ypage 40).
All vehicle occupants must be wearing the seat
belt correctly before beginning the journey. Also
make sure that all vehicle occupants are always
wearing the seat belt correctly while the vehicle
is in motion.
When fastenin gthe seat belt, always make sure
that:
Rthe seat belt buckle tongue is inserted only
into the belt buckle belonging to that seat.
Rthe seat belt is pulled tight across your body.
Avoid wearing bulky clothing, e.g. awinter
coat.
Rthe seat belt is not twisted.
Only then can the forces which occur be dis-
tributed over the area of the belt.
Rthe shoulder section of the belt is routed
across the center of your shoulder.
The shoulder section of the seat belt should
not touch your neck or be routed under your
arm or behind your back. Where possible,
adjust the seat belt to the appropriate height.
Rthe lap belt is taut and passes across your lap as low down as possible.
The lap belt must always be routed across
your hip jointsa nd not across your abdomen.
This appliesp articularly to pregnant women.
If necessary, push the lap belt down to your
hip joint and pull it tight using the shoulder
section of the belt.
Rthe seat belt is not routed across sharp, poin-
ted or fragile objects.
If you have such items located on or in your
clothing, e.g. pens, keys or eyeglasses, store
these in asuitable place.
Ronly one person is using aseat belt.
Infantsa nd children must never travel sitting
on the lap of avehicle occupant. In the event
of an accident, they could be crushed
between the vehicle occupant and seat belt.
Robject sare never secured with aseat belt if
the seat belt is also being used by one of the
vehicle's occupants.
Also ensure that there are never objects
between aperson and the seat, e.g. cushions.
Seat belts are only intended to secure and
restrain vehicle occupants. Always observe the
"Loading guidelines" for securing objects, lug-
gage or loads (
Ypage 204).
Fastening and adjusting the seat belts
Observe the safety notes on the seat belt
(Ypage 40) and the notes on correct use of seat
belts (Ypage 41).
If the center rear seat belt is being used, also
observe the information about the seat belt for
the center rear seat (
Ypage 42).
