WARNING
Modifications to or work improperly con-
ducted on restraint system components or
their wiring, as well as tampering with inter-
connected electronic systems, can lead to the restraint system snolonger functioning as
intended.
Air bags or Emergenc yTensioning Devices
(ETDs), for example, could deploy inadver-
tently or fail to deploy in accidents although
the deceleration threshold for air bag deploy- ment is exceeded. Therefore, neve rmodify
the restraint systems. Do not tamper with
electronic components or their software.
In this section, you will learn the most impor-
tan tfact sabout the restraint system compo-
nents of the vehicle.
The restraint system consists of:
R Seat belts
R Child restraint systems
Additional protection is provided by:
R SRS (Supplemental Restrain tSystem)
R Air bag system components with:
- PASSENGER AIR BAGO FF indicator lamp
- Front-passenger seat with Occupant
Classification System (OCS)
Although the system sare independent ,their

SRS (Supplementa
lRestraint System)
Introduction SRS reduces the risk of occupants coming
into contact with the vehicle's interior in the
event of an accident. It can also reduce the
effect of the forces to which occupants are
subjected during an accident.
SRS consistso f:
R 0075 SRS warning lamp
R air bags
R air bag control unit (with crash sensors)
R Emergency Tensioning Devices
R seat belt force limiters
SRS warning lamp G
WARNING
If SRS is malfunctioning, restraint system
components may be triggered unintentionally
or might not be triggered at all in the event of
an accident with ahigh rate of vehicle decel-
eration. There is an increased risk of injury,
possibly even fatal.
Have SRS checked and repaired immediately
at aq ualified specialist workshop.
SRS functions are checked regularly when
you switch on the ignition and when the
engine is running. Therefore, malfunctions
can be detected in good time.
The 0075 SRS warning lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up when the ignition is switched on. It goes out no later than afew seconds
after the engine is started.
The SRS components are in operational read-
iness when the 0075SRS indicator lamp goes
out while the engine is running. There is
amalfunction if:
R the 0075 SRS warning lamp does not light
up when the ignition is switched on
R the engine is running and the 0075SRS
warning lamp does not go out after afew
seconds
R the engine is running and the 0075SRS
warning lamp lights up again
Safety guidelines for seat belts, Emer-
gency Tensioning Devices (ETDs) and
air bags G
WARNING
R Damaged seat belts or seat belts that have
been subjected to stress in an accident
must be replaced. Their anchoring points
must also be checked. Only use seat belts
installed or suppliedbyana uthorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
R Air bags and pyrotechnic Emergency Ten-
sioning Devices (ETDs) contain perchlorate
material, which may require special han-
dling and regard for the environment.

Only have the seat repaired or replaced at an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
In order to ensure proper operation of the air
bag system and OCS:
R Sit with the seat belt properl yfastened in a
positio nthat is as upright as possible with
yourb ack against the seat backrest.
R When seated, apassenger shouldn ot posi-
tion him/hersel finsuchaway as to cause
the passenger's weight to be lifted from the seat cushio nasthis may resultint he OCS
being unabletoc orrectly approximate the
passenger's weight category.
R Reada nd observe all warnings in this chap-
ter. System self-test The
00730074 indicator lamp illuminates
when you:
R turn the SmartKey to position 1or 2in the
ignition lock
R press the Start/Stop button once or twice
If an adult occupant is properl ysitting on the
passenger seat and the OCS classifies the
occupant as an adult, the 00730074indicator
lamp illuminates and goes out again after
approximately 6seconds.
If the seat is not occupie dand the OCS clas-
sifies the front passenger seat as being unoc-
cupied, the 00730074indicator lamp willi llu-
minate and not go out. G
WARNING
If the 00730074indicator lamp does not illu-
minate, the system is not functioning. You

If after six seconds the driver or front
passenger have not fastened their seat belts
and the doors are closed:
R the 0076 seat belt warning lamp remains lit
as long as either the driver's or front-pas-
senger's seat belt is not fastened
R and if the vehicle speed exceeds 15 mph
(25 km/h )once, the 0076seat belt warning
lamp lights up. Additionally, awarning tone
sounds with increasing intensity for amax-
imum of 60 seconds or until the driver's and
front passenger's seat belts are fastened.
If the driver or front-passenger seat belt is
unfastened whilet he vehicle is in motion, the
0076 seat belt warning lamp lights up and a
warning tone sounds again.
The warning tone ceases even if the driver or
front-passenger seat belt has still not been
fastened after 60 seconds. The 0076seat belt
warning lamp stops flashing but remains lit.
After the vehicle comes to astandstill ,the
warning tone is reactivated and the 0076seat
belt warning lamp flashes again if the vehicle
speed exceeds 15 mph (25 km/h).
The 0076 seat belt warning lamp only goes
out if:
R both the driver and the front passenger
have fastened their seat belts.
or
R the vehicle is stationary and adoor is open.

Emergency Tensioning Devices, seat
beltf orce limiters The seat belts are equippedw
ith ETDs and
seat belt force limiters.
! If the front-passenger seat is unoccupied,
do not insert the belt tongue into the buckle of the front-passenger seat. This may oth-
erwisel eadtot he triggering of the Emer-
gency Tensioning Device in the event of an accident, which willt
hen need to be
replaced.
The ETDs tighten the seat belts in an accident,
pulling them close against the body.
The ETDs do not correct incorrect seat posi-
tions or incorrectly fastened seat belts.
The ETDs do not pullv ehicle occupants back
towards the backrest.
Seat belt force limiters, when activated, are
employed to help reduce the peak force
exerted by the seat belts on occupants during ac rash.
The seat belt force limiters are synchronized
with the front air bags,w hich take onapart of
the deceleration force. Thus, the force
exerted on the occupant is distributed over a
greater area.
When the ignition is switched on, the ETDs
cannot be triggered unless:
R the restraint systems are operational; see
"SRS warning lamp"( Ypage 37)
R the belt tongue is engage dinthe buckle on
each of the three-point seat belts
R the front-passenger seat is occupie dand
the belt tongue is engage dinthe buckle on
the front-passenger side
The ETDs are triggered depending on the type
and severity of an accident:
R in the event of ahead-on or rear-end colli-
sion, if the vehicle decelerates or acceler-
ates rapidly in alongitudinal direction dur-
ing the initial stages of the impact
R in the event of aside impact, if the vehicle
is subjected to high latera lacceleration/

R Coupe: in certain situations if the vehicle
rolls over, and the system determines that
it can provide additional protection
R Roadster: if the vehicle rolls over
