otection bythere stra int sy stem The
restra int sy stem includes thefo llowing com‐
ponents:
R Seat belt sy stem
R Airbags
R Child restra int sy stem
R Child seat securing sy stem
The restra int sy stem can reduce therisk of vehi‐
cle occupants coming into contact with parts of
th eve hicle's interior in theeve nt of an accident.
The restra int sy stem can also reduce thefo rc es
to which vehicle occupants are subjected in the
eve nt of an accident.
Only a seat belt which is worncor rectly can pro‐
vide the intended le vel of pr otection. Depending
on the de tected accident situation, Emergency
Te nsioning Devices and/or airbags supplement a
cor rectly wornseat belt. Emer gency Tensioning
Devices and/or airbags are not depl oyed in
eve ryaccident. Fo
rth ere stra int sy stem toprov ide its full pr otec‐
tion, each occupant must obser vethefo llowing:
R Fasten the seat belt cor rectl y.
R Be in an almost up right position with their
back against the seat backrest.
R Sit with their feet resting on thefloor, if pos‐
sible.
R Alw ays secure persons under 5 ft(1.50 m)
ta ll in an additional restra int sy stem suitable
fo r Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
Ho wever,no sy stem available today can com‐
ple tely eliminate injuries and fata lities in every
accident situation. In particular, the seat belt
and airbag generally do not pr otect against
objects penetrating theve hicle from the outside.
The risk of an injury resulting from airbag
deployment also cannot be ruled out entirel y. Re

WARNING Risk of inju ryor fata l injury
due toa malfunction in there stra int sys‐

If th ere stra int sy stem is malfunctioning,
re stra int sy stem components may be trig‐ ge
red unintentionally or might not be trig‐
ge red at all in theev ent of an accident. This
may af fect the Emer gency Tensioning Device
or airbag, forex ample. #
Have there stra int sy stem checked and
re paired immediately at a qualified spe‐

dent How
there stra int sy stem works is de term ined by
th e se verity of the impact de tected and the type
of accident anticipated:
R Frontal impact
R Rear impact
R Side impact
R Rollover
The activation thre sholds forth e components of
th ere stra int sy stem are de term ined based on
th eev aluation of the sensor values measured at
va rious points in theve hicle. This process is pre-
em ptive in nature. The triggering/deployment of th
e components of there stra int sy stem must
ta ke place in good time at thest art of the colli‐
sion.

af te r a collision has occur red do not play a deci‐
sive role in the deployment of an airbag. Nordo
th ey prov ide an indication of airbag deployment.
The vehicle may be deformed significantly with‐
out an airbag being deplo yed. This is the case if
only parts which are relatively easily deformed
are af fected and thera te ofvehicle deceleration
is not high. Con versely, an airbag may be
deplo yedev en though theve hicle suf fers only
minor deformation. If very rigid vehicle parts
such as longitudinal members are hit, forex am‐
ple, this may result in suf ficiently high le vels of
ve hicle deceleration. Occupant saf
