Introduction

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.

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

of an accident.
Do not switch off th eignitio nwhile driving.
Drive sensibly –savef uel Observe the following tips to save fuel:
X The tyre sshould always be inflated to the rec-
ommended tyre pressure.
X Remove unnecessary loads.
X Remove roof carriers when they are not nee-
ded.
X Warm up the engine at low engine speeds.
X Avoid frequent acceleration or braking.
X Have all service and maintenance work car-
ried out at the specified intervals.
Fuel consumption also increases when driving in
cold weather, in stop-start traffic, on short jour- neys and in hilly terrain. Short journeys
! Vehicles with
adiesel particle filter: if the
vehicle is mostly driven for short distances, it
is possible that malfunction smay occur dur-
ing the automatic cleaning of the diesel par-
ticle filter. This may lead to fuel collecting in
the engine oil and cause engine failure. There- fore, if you frequently drive short distances,
you should take a20minute trip on amotor-
way or rural road at least every 500km. Brakes

WARNING
If you shift dow nonaslippery road surface in
an attempt to increas ethe engine's braking
effect, the drive wheels coul dlose their grip.

The following cause engine failure or damage
to the exhaust system:
R Use of engine oils and oil filters that have
not been expressly approved for the service
system
R Replacement of engine oil and oil filter after
the replacement interval specified by the
service system has expired
R Use of engine oil additives
! Do not add too much oil. If the oil level is
above the "max" mark on the dipstick ,too
much oil has been added. This can lead to
damage to the engine or the catalytic con-
verter .Have excess oil siphoned off. H
Environmental note
When topping up the oil, take care not to spill
any. If oil enters the soil or waterways, it is
harmful to the environment. X
Turn cap :anti-clockwise and remove it.
X Top up with the amount of engine oil required.
Observe the specification sinthe on-board com-
puter when doing so or fill carefully to the max- imum mark on the oil dipstick.
The differenc ebetween the minimum mark and
the maximum mark on the oil dipstick is approx- imately 2.0 litres.
X Replace cap :on the filler neck and turn
clockwise.
Make sure that the cap locks securely into
place.

WARNING
There are moving components in the engine
compartment. Certain components may con-
tinue to move or suddenly move again even
after the ignitio nhas been switched off, e.g.
the radiator fan. There is arisk of injury.
If you have to carry out work in the engine
compartment:
R switch off the ignition
R never touch the dangerous area ssurround-
ing moving components, e.g. the rotation
area of the fan
R remove jewellery and watches
R keep items of clothing and hair, for exam-
ple,a wayfrom moving parts. G

need to be performed more often if the vehicle is operated under arduous conditions or increased
loads, for example:
R regular city driving with frequent intermediate
stops
R if the vehicle is primarily used to travel short
distances
R for frequent operation in mountainous terrain
or on poor road surfaces
R if the engine is often left idling for long periods
In these or similar operating conditions, have,
for example, the air filter, engine oil and oil filter changed more frequently. The tyres must be
checked more frequently if the vehicle is oper-
ated under increased loads. Further information can be obtained at aqualified specialist work-

WARNING
The brake fluid continuously absorbs mois-

point of the brake fluid lowering. If the boiling
point of the brake fluid is too low, vapour
pockets may form when the brakes are sub-
jected to aheavy load. This would impair brak-

The coolant is amixture of water and anti-
freeze/anti-corrosion additive. It is responsible
for the following:
R anti-corrosion protection
R antifreeze protection
R raising the boiling point
If antifreeze/corrosio ninhibitor is present in the
correct concentration, the boiling point of the
coolant willbea round 130 †. Service products and capacities
