Useful information
This Operator's Manual describes all models as
well as standard and optional equipment of your
vehicle that were available at the time of going
to print.Country-specific variation sare possi-
ble. Note that your vehicle may not be equipped
with all of the described functions. This also
applies to system sand function srelevantt o
safety.
Read the information on qualified specialist
workshops (
Ypage 29).
Occupant safety
Restraint system introduction
The restraint system can reduce the risk of vehi- cle occupants comingi ntoc ontact with parts of
the vehicle' sinterior in the eventofana ccident.
Furthermore, the restraint system may also
reduce the forces exerted on the vehicle occu-
pant swhen an acciden toccurs.
The restraint system includes:
RSeat belt system
RAir bags
RChild restraint system
RChild seat securings ystem
The components of the restraint system work in
conjunction with each other .They can only offer
the intended level of protection if all vehicle
occupants:
Rare correctly wearing their seat belts.
(Ypage 45)
Radjust their seat and head restraint properly
(Ypage 83).
The driver is also responsible for ensurin gthat
the steering wheel has been correctly posi-
tioned. Observet he information relatin gtothe
correct driver'ss eat position (
Ypage 83).
Always ensure the air bag can inflat eproperly if
deployed (
Ypage 48).
An air bag supplement sacorrectly fastened
seat belt. As an additional safetyd evice, the air
bag increases the level of protection for vehicle
occupants in the eventofana ccident. For exam-
ple, if the protection already provided by acor-
rectly fastened seat belt will suffice, the air bags
are not deployed. Furthermore, only the air bags
that would increase the degree of protection
afforded to the vehicle occupants in the evento fan acciden
tare deployed. Seat belts and air
bags generally do not protect against objects
penetratin gthe vehicle from the outside.
Information on restraint system operatio ncan
be found under "TriggeringofE mergencyTen-
sionin gDevices and air bags" (
Ypage 54).
See “Children in the vehicle” for information on children traveling with you as well as vehicle
restraint system s(
Ypage 56).
Important safetyn otes
GWARNING
If the restraint system is modified, it may no
longer work as intended. The restraint system
may then not performi ts intended protective
function by failing in an acciden tortriggering
unexpectedly, for 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 well as
electronic components or their software.
If it is necessary to modify an air bag system to
accommodate aperson with disabilities, con-
tact aMercedes-Benz Commercial Van Cen-
ter for details. USA only: contact our
Mercedes-Benz Customer Assistance Center
at 1-877-762-8267 for details.

Safety
Z

There is, however, no system availabletoday
that can completely rule out injury or death.
It is also not possible to rule out arisk of injury
caused by an air bag due to the high speed at
which the air bag must be deployed.
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If you do not sit in the corrects eat position,
the air bag cannot protec tasintended and
could even cause additional injury when
deployed. This poses an increased risk of
injury or even fatal injury.
To avoid hazardous situations, alwaysm ake
sure that all of the vehicle's occupants:
Rhave fastened their seat belts correctly,
including pregnant women
Rare sittin gcorrectly and maintain the great-
est possible distance to the air bags
Rfollow the following instructions
Always make sure that there are no objects
between the air bag and the vehicle's occu-
pants.
RCorrectly adjust the seats before driving off.
Always make sure the seat backrest sare
positioned as close to the vertical as possible.
The center of the head restraints should sup-
port the back of the head at about eye level.
RMove the driver's and front-passenger seat as
far back as possible. The driver's seat position
must be such that the vehicle can be driven
safely.
RKeep hands on the outside of the steering
wheel rim. This allows the air bag to deploy
fully.
RAlways sit with your back against the seat
backrest when driving. Do not lean forward,
on the door or against the side window. Oth-
erwise, you are in the air bag deployment
area.
RAlways keep your feet in the footwell in front
of the seat. Do not,f or example, place your
feet on the dashboard. Otherwise, your feet
are in the air bag deployment area.
RSuitable restraint systems must alwaysb e
used for persons under 5ft(1.50 m) in height.
The seat belt cannot be worn correctly by
persons who do not reach this height. If children are also traveling in the vehicle,
please take note of the followingp
oints.
RChild restraint systems should preferably be
installed on the rear seats.
ROnly secureachild on the front-passenger
seat in arearward-facing child restraint sys-
tem if the front-passenger front air bag is
deactivated. If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp is permanently lit, the front-
passenger front air bag is deactivated
(
Ypage 44).
RMake sure you observe the instructions and
safety notes on "Occupan t Classification Sys-
tem (OCS)" (Ypage 50) and "Children in the
vehicle" (Ypage 56), as well as the child
restraint system manufacturer's installation
instructions.
Objects in the passenger compartment
could prevent an air bag from functioning
properly. To prevent risks due to the required
air bag speed after deployment, ensure the fol-
lowing before starting the journey:
Rthere are no persons, animals or objects
between the vehicle occupantsa nd an air
bag.
Rthere are no object sbetween the seat, door
and B-pillar.
Rno hard objects, e.g. coat hangers, hang on
the grab handles or coat hooks.
Rno accessories, such as cup holders, are
attached to the vehicle within the deployment
area of an air bag, e.g. to doors or side win-
dows.
Rthere are no heavy, sharp or fragile object sin
the pocketsofi tems of clothing. Such items
should be suitably stowed elsewhere.
GWARNING
If you modify the air bag cover or affix objects
such as stickers to it, the air bag can no longer
function correctly. There is an increased risk
of injury.
Never modify an air bag cover or affix objects
to it.
