Occupant safety
When you sell your vehicle we strongly
urge you to give notice to the subsequent
owner that it is equipped with an SRS by
alerting them to the applicable section in
the Operator’s Manual.
Front airbags
1Driver airbag
2Passenger front airbagDriver and passenger front airbags are de-
ployed:
in the event of a frontal impact
if impact exceeds a preset deployment
threshold
independently of the side impact air-
bags
The airbags will not deploy in impacts
which do not exceed the system’s deploy-
ment thresholds. You will then be protect-
ed by the fastened seat belts.
The passenger front airbag will only be de-
ployed if:
the front passenger seat is occupied
the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator
lamp in the center console is not lit
(page 71)
the impact exceeds a preset deploy-
ment thresholdSide impact airbags, window curtain
airbags
1Window curtain airbag
2Side impact airbags
!Do not place objects heavier than
20 lbs (9 kg) on the front passenger
seat. This could cause the front or side
impact airbag on the front passenger
side to deploy in a crash which exceeds
the system's deployment threshold.

airbag deactivation
system
1Indicator lamp
Special BabySmart
TM compatible child
seats, designed for use with the
Mercedes-Benz system and available at
any authorized Mercedes-Benz Center are
required for use with the BabySmart
TM air-
bag deactivation system. With the special
child seat properly installed, the passenger
front airbag will not deploy.The “PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF” indicator
lamp1 located in the center console will
be illuminated, except with the SmartKey
removed or in starter switch position0.
Self-test BabySmart
TM without special
child seat installed
After turning the SmartKey in the starter
switch to position1 or2 or pressing the
KEYLESS-GO* start/stop button once or
twice, the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indi-
cator lamp1 located in the center con-
sole comes on for approximately
six seconds and then goes out.
If the indicator lamp should not come on or
is continuously lit, the system is not func-
tioning. You must see an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center before seating any
child on the front passenger seat.For more information, see “Practical hints”
(
page 303).
1BabySmart
TM is a trademark of Siemens Automo-
tive Corp.
iThe system does not deactivate the
side impact airbag or the emergency
tensioning device.
Warning!
G
The BabySmart
TM airbag deactivation sys-
tem will ONLY work with a special child seat
designed to operate with it. It will not work
with child seats which are not BabySmart
TM
compatible.
Never place anything between seat cushion
and child seat (e.g. pillow), since it reduces
the effectiveness of the deactivation sys-
tem. The bottom of the child seat must
make full contact with the passenger seat
cushion. An incorrectly mounted child seat
could cause injuries to the child in case of an
accident, instead of protecting the child.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
installation of special child seats.
