Occupant safety
Introduction to the restraint system
The restraint system can reduce the risk of vehi- cle occupant scom ingi ntoc ontac twithp artsof
th ev ehicle's interio rintheevent of an accident.
The restrain tsystem can also reduce th eforces
to whic hvehicl eoccupant sare subjecte dduring
an accident.
The restrain tsystem includes the:
R seat belt system
R airbags
R child restrain tsystem
R child seat securin gsystem
The component softherestrain tsystem wor kin
conjunction wit heacho ther.T hey can only offer
protection if all vehicl eoccupant salways:
R have th eseat belt correctl yfastened
(Y page 33)
R have th eseat and head restrain tadjusted
properly (Y page 67)
As th edriver, you must also mak esuret hatthe
steering whee lisalso adjusted properly.
Observ ethe information on th ecorrect driver's
seat position (Y page 67).
In addition ,you must mak esuret ha tthe airbags
can inflat eproperly if they are deployed
(Y page 36).
An airbag supplement sacorrectly wornseat
belt .Asana dditional safet ydevice ,the airbag
increases th elevel of protection for vehicle
occupant sintheevent of an accident. The air-
bags are no tdeployed, for example, in th eevent
of an acciden tinwhichs ufficien tprotection is
offere dbytheseat belt .Inaddition ,onlyt ho se
airbags, whic hintheapplicable acciden tsitua-
tion soffer additional protection ,are deployed in
th ee vent of an accident. However, th eseat belt
and airbag generally do no tprotect against
objects penetrating th evehicl efromt heout-
side.

WARNING
If th erestraint 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,f or 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 wellas
electronic components or their software.
If it is necessary to adjust the vehicl etoaccom-
modate aperso nwith disabilities, contact a
qualified specialist workshop. Mercedes-Benz
recommends that you use aMercedes-Benz
Service Centre for this. Restraint system warnin
glamp
The functions of the restraint system are
checke dafterthe ignition is switched on and at
regular interval swhile the engine is running.
Therefore, malfunctions can be detected in
goo dtime.
The 6 restraint system warning lamp on the
instrument cluster lights up when the ignition is switched on. It goe soutno later than afew sec-
onds afte rthe vehicl eisstarted. The compo-
nents of the restraint system are in operational
readiness.

R lights up agai nwhile the engine is running G
WARNING
If the restra ints ystem is malfunctioning,
restraint system components may be trig-
gered unintentionally or may not deploy as
intended during an accident. This may affect
the seat beltt ensioner or airbag, for example.
This poses an increased risk of injury or even
fatal injury. Occupant safety

They could:
R activate vehicl eequipment and become
trapped, for example
R switch vehicl esystems on or off, thus
endangering other road users
In the event of an accident, sudden braking or
abrupt changes of direction, unsecured ani-
mals coul dbeflung around the vehicle, injur-
ing the vehicl eoccupants. There is arisk of an
accident and injury.

4ETS traction control is no longer active above a
speed of approximately 60 km/h.
Traction control brakes the drive wheels indi-
vidually if they spin. This enables you to pull
awaya nd accelerate on slippery surfaces, e.g. if
the road surface is slippery on one side. In addi-
tion, more drive torque is transferred to the
wheel or wheels with traction.
Traction control remains active if you deactivate
ESP ®
