Adjusting
You can adjust your seats either manually
or electrically*, depending on your vehi-
cle's equipment. Ad
just ing Seats
G
Risk of accident Only adjust the driver's
seat when the vehi-
cle is stationary. Oth erwise, you may no
lon ger be able toobserve road and traffic
cond itions and you could lose control of the
ve hicle as a result ofthe seat movin g. G
Risk of accident and injury Make sure that nobody can become trapped
as
you adjus tthe seat.
To reduce the risk of seri ousor fatal inju ries
in the event of an acci dent or heavydeceler-
ation, e.g .by an airbag inflating within milli-
seconds, observe the following points:
! All occupants must selec ta se at
position that allows the seat belt to be
worn correctly and th at is asfaraw ay
fr om the fro ntairbags as possible.
The position of the driver's seat must
allow the driver to drive the vehicle
sa fely. The distanc efrom the driver's
seat to th epedals mu st be such tha tthe
driver can fully depress the pedals. The
distance between the driver's chest and
the centre of the airbag cover must be
more than 25cm. The dri ver's ar ms
should beslightly bent when holding the
steering wheel. !
Position the front-pa ssen gerse at as far
ba ck as possible, especially if a child is
sitting on this seat or if a child is secured
in a restraint system onthis seat.
! Occ upants must always wea rthe irseat
be ltco rrec tly and po sitio ntheir back-
rest as clo seto the vertical as possible.
The head restraint should support the
ba ck ofyour head at about eye level.
! Rearward-faci ngchild restraint systems
must not be fitted to th efront-passen-
ger seat unless the front passenger air-
bag has been deactivated. In Merc edes-
Benz vehi cles, the front passenger air-
ba g is deactivated and the AIRBAG OFF
warning lamp is lit when a child restraint
system with automatic child seat recog-
nition is fitted to a front-passenger seat
in a vehicl ewith automatic child seat
recognition. 209en_d2.boo Seite

! Make sure th at there are no objects in the
footwell or be hind the seats when adj usting the
seats. You could oth erwise damage the seats
and the objects. If your ve
hicle doe snot have automatic
child seat recognition, children inrear-
ward-facing child restraint systems
must be se cured in a suitable seat in the
rear of th evehicle.
If you fit a forward-f acing child sea tto
the front-passenger seat, you must
mov e the front-pass engerse at as far
ba ck as possible.
! Do not lean forward (e.g. over the pad-
ded boss of the steeri ng wheel), in par-
ticular while the vehicle is in motion.
! Do not place your fee tonthe dash-
bo ard.
! Only hold the steering wheel by the out-
side of the rim. This allows the airbag to
inflate unhindered. You could be injured
ifthe airbag inflates and you are holding
the inside of the steering wheel.
! Do not lean on the doo rsfrom inside the
vehicle. !
Do not pla ceany objects on the airbags
or betw een the airbags and th evehicle's
occupa nts.
! Do not hang any hard objects ,for exam-
ple coat hangers, on the grab handles or
coat ha ngers.
The risk ofski na bras ions or minor injuries
ca used byan airbag cannot becomp letely
eliminated due to the high speed at which
the airb agmust inf late.
Vehicles with electric seats:
Remove the key from th eignition lock or
take the KEYLESS GO key* with you, even if
yo uare onlyleavi ngthe vehicle for a short
time.
Th ese ats ca n be adjusted when the key is
removed and a door is open.
For this reason, children should never beleft
un superv ised in the vehi cle. They could
become trapped by an inadvertent seat
adjustment. P 91.10-2379-31

Risk of accident Do not kee
panyobjects in the driver' sfoo t-
well. Make sure that floormats or car pets in
the driver's footwell:
! donot obstruct the pedals
! areproperl ysecured
The objects could otherwise get caught
between the pedal sif you accelerate or
brake suddenly. You would then not be able
to brake or accelerate. This coul dlead to
ac cident and injury. Wearing seat belts
G
Risk of injury A seat belt that is not worn correctl
y,or that
is not correctly engaged in the seat belt
buckle, cannot perform its intende dprotec-
tive function. It could even cause severe or
fatal injuries.
For this reason, make sure that all the occu-
pants – in particular, pregnant women –
always wear their seat belts correctly.
! The se atbelt must not be twisted and
must pass closely over your body. You
should therefore avoid wearing bulky
clot hing (e.g. winter coats). The shoul-
der section of the belt must be routed
over the middle of your shoulder – never
ar ound you rnec kor under your arm –
and must be pulled tight against the
upper body. The lap bel t must crossover
your lap as low down as possibl eat all
times, i.e. over your hip joints – not
across your stomach or lower abdom en.
If necessary, press the belt strap down a
bit and retighten bypulling the seat belt
upwards towards the belt reel. !
Do not route the belt strap over sharp or
fragile objects, especially if these are on
or inside your clothing, e.g. spectacles,
pens or keys. The belt strap could ot her-
wise be damaged and you could be
injured as a result.
! Only one person shou ld use each seat
belt at any one time. Do not allow chil-
dren to be carried on the lap of another
occupant since the child will then no
longer be secured in the event of an
accident, braking or a sudden change in
direction. This could result in severe or
fatal injuries to the child or other occu-
pants.
! Persons less than 1.50 m tall cannot
wear the seat belts correctly. Persons
less that 1.50 m tall therefore require
suitable restraint systems. 209en_d2.boo Seite

Getting started
Driving
The < seat belt warni ng lamp in the
instrument cluster reminds you to ensure
that all occupants are wearing their seat
belts.
If the driver has not fastened his seat belt,
the < seat belt warning lamp lights up
if the doors are closed and the engine is
running. In addition, an intermitten tsignal
sounds from a speed of 25 km /hupwards.
The intermittent signal ceases:
! as soon as the driver has fastened his
seat belt
! after a maximum of 93 seconds
! when the vehicle is stationary
The < seat belt warning lamp only goes
out once the driver has fastened his seat
belt. !
Children less than 1.50 m tall and
yo un ger than 12 years ofage cannot
wear the seat belts properly. Always
secure these children in suitable child
re straint systems on seats designe dfor
this purpose ( =pag e62). Please follow
the manufacturer's installation instruc-
tions when installing child restraint sys-
tems.
! Do not secure any objects with a seat
belt if it is also being used by one of the
vehicle 'soccupan ts. G
Risk ofinjury The seat belt only prov
ides its intended
degree of protection if the seat backrest is
positioned as close to the vertical as possi-
ble, allowing th eoccupant to sit upright.
Avoid sea tpositions which do not allow the
seat belt to be routed correctly ( =
pag e25).
Therefore, po sition the bac kres ts as close to
the vertical as possible. Never drive with the
backrest inclined too far backwards. G
Risk of injury Airbags are de
signed not to be triggered in
al lac cident situations, since aco rrectly fas-
tened seat belt will often besufficient for
providing an effective degree of protection.
Airbags are not a substitute for seat belts.
To reduce the risk of severe or eve nfatal
in jury, make sure that all occupants – in par-
ticular, pregnant women – always wear their
seat be lts correctly, are seated inan upright
positio nand have their seats positio ned
