Always have work on electrical and electronic
components carried out at a qualified special-ist workshop.
If you make any changes to the vehicle elec-
tronics, the general operating permit is ren-
dered invalid.
! There is a risk of damage to the vehicle if:
R the vehicle becomes stuck, e.g. on a high
kerb or an unpaved road
R you drive too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a
kerb or a pothole in the road
R a heavy object strikes the underbody or
parts of the chassis
In situations like this, the body, the under-
body, chassis parts, wheels or tyres could be
damaged without the damage being visible.
Components damaged in this way can unex-
pectedly fail or, in the case of an accident, no
longer withstand the strain they are designed for.
If the underbody panelling is damaged, com-
bustible materials such as leaves, grass or
twigs can gather between the underbody and
the underbody panelling. If these materials
come in contact with hot parts of the exhaust
system, they can catch fire.
In such situations, have the vehicle checked
and repaired immediately at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. If, upon continuing your
journey, you notice that driving safety is
impaired, pull over and stop the vehicle imme- diately, paying attention to road and traffic
conditions. In such cases, consult a qualified
specialist workshop. Declarations of conformity
Wireless vehicle components The following information applies to all compo-
nents of the vehicle and the information sys-
tems and communication devices integrated
into the vehicle which receive and/or transmit
radio waves:
The components of this vehicle that receive
and/or transmit radio waves are compliant with
the basic requirements and all other relevant
conditions of Directive 1999/5/EC. You can
obtain further information from any Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre. Electromagnetic compatibility The electromagnetic compatibility of the vehicle
components has been checked and certified
according to the currently valid version of Reg-
ulation ECE-R 10. Diagnostics connection
The diagnostics connection is only intended for the connection of diagnostic equipment at a
qualified specialist workshop. G
WARNING
If you connect equipment to a diagnostics
connection in the vehicle, it can affect the
operation of the vehicle systems. This may
affect the operating safety of the vehicle.
There is a risk of an accident.
Do not connect any equipment to a diagnos-
tics connection in the vehicle. G
WARNING
Objects in the driver's footwell may restrict
the clearance around the pedals or block a
depressed pedal. This jeopardises the oper-
ating and road safety of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Stow all objects securely in the vehicle so that
they do not get into the driver's footwell.
Always fit the floormats securely and as pre-
scribed in order to ensure that there is always sufficient room for the pedals. Do not use
loose floormats and do not place several floor-mats on top of one another.
! If the engine is switched off and equipment
on the diagnostics connection is used, the
starter battery may discharge.
Connecting equipment to the diagnostics con-
nection can lead to emissions monitoring infor-
mation being reset, for example. This may lead
to the vehicle failing to meet the requirements of
the next emissions test during the main inspec- tion. 24

Useful information
i This Owner's Manual describes all models,
series and optional equipment for your vehi-
cle that were available at the time of going to
press. National variations are possible. Note
that your vehicle may not be equipped with all
of the functions described. This is also the
case for systems and functions relevant to
safety.

Introduction to the restraint system
The restraint system can reduce the risk of vehi- cle occupants coming into 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 occupants are subjected during
an accident.
The restraint system comprises:
R Seat belt system
R Airbags
R Child restraint system
R Child seat securing systems
The components of the restraint system work in
conjunction with each other. They can only
deploy their protective function if all vehicle
occupants always:
R fasten their seat belts correctly
(Y page 40)
R adjust their seat and head restraint properly
(Y page 102).
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 (Y page 101).
You also have to make sure that an airbag can
inflate properly if deployed (Y page 42).
An airbag supplements a correctly fastened seat belt. As an additional safety device, the airbag
increases the level of protection for vehicle
occupants in the event of an accident. For exam-
ple, if the protection of the seat belt is sufficient in an accident, the airbags are not deployed. In
the event of an accident, only the airbags that
increase protection in the relevant accident sit- uation are deployed. However, seat belts and
airbags generally do not protect against objects penetrating the vehicle from the outside.
Information on the restraint system operation
can be found under "Triggering of belt tension-
ers and airbags" (Y page 49).
For more information about children travelling
with you in the vehicle, see "Children in the vehi-
cle" (Y page 52). Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If the restraint 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, for example. There is an
increased risk of injury, possibly even fatal. Occupant safety

seat belt, a windowbag may be deployed in other
accident situations (Y page 49).Automatic front-passenger front air-
bag deactivation
Introduction In order to recognise a child restraint system on
the front-passenger seat, the automatic front-
passenger front airbag deactivation system cat-
egorises the person in the front-passenger seat. Depending on that result, the front-passenger
front airbag is either enabled or disabled. If a
rearward-facing child restraint system is fitted
to the front-passenger seat, the PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp must light up after
the system self-test and remain lit. The front-
passenger front airbag is disabled.
The system does not disable:
R the sidebag
R the windowbag
R the seat belt tensioner
In the following situation, the sidebag and the
seat belt tensioner are deactivated:
R the automatic front-passenger front airbag
deactivation system has not categorised the
person on the front-passenger seat as an
adult or a person of corresponding stature
and
R the seat belt tongue of the seat belt is not
inserted into the front-passenger seat belt
buckle
Make sure that your vehicle is equipped with the automatic front-passenger front airbag deacti-
vation system (Y page 56). If this is not the
case, always install a child restraint system on a suitable rear seat (Y page 57).
If it is absolutely necessary to install a child
restraint system on the front-passenger seat, be
sure to observe the correct positioning of the
child restraint system. Never place objects
under or behind the child restraint system, e.g. a
cushion. The entire base of the child restraint
system must always rest on the seat cushion of
the front-passenger seat. The backrest of the
forward-facing child restraint system must, as
far as possible, be resting on the backrest of the
front-passenger seat. The child restraint system must not touch the roof or be put under strain bythe head restraint. Adjust the angle of the seat
backrest and the head restraint position accord- ingly. Only then is the correct function of the
automatic front-passenger front airbag deacti-
vation system guaranteed. Always observe the
information on suitable positioning of the child
restraint system (Y
page 57) in addition to the
child restraint system manufacturer's installa-
tion instructions.
Operation of automatic front-passenger
front airbag deactivation :
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp
; PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
The indicator lamps inform you whether the
front-passenger front airbag is disabled or ena-
bled. X Press the Start/Stop button once or twice, or
turn the key to position 1or 2in the ignition
lock.
The system carries out a self-diagnosis.
The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF and PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamps must light up simul-
taneously for approximately six seconds.
The indicator lamps display the status of the
front-passenger front airbag:
R PASSENGER AIR BAG ON lights up: the front-
passenger front airbag is enabled. If, in the
event of an accident, all deployment criteria
are met, the front-passenger front airbag is
deployed.
R PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF lights up: the front-
passenger front airbag is disabled. It will then
not be deployed in the event of an accident.
If the status of the front-passenger front airbag
changes while the vehicle is in motion, an airbag display message appears in the instrument clus-
ter (Y page 264). When the front-passenger
seat is occupied, always pay attention to the
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON and PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF indicator lamps. Be aware of the status Occupant safety
