Seat belts are the most effective means of
restraining the movement of vehicle occu-
pants in the event of an accident. This
reduces the risk of vehicle occupants coming
into contact with the vehicle interior. Wearing seat belts
G
Risk of injury
A seat belt which is not worn correctly, or
which has not been engaged in the seat bel t
buckle correctly, cannot perform its inten-
ded protective function. Under certain cir-
cumstances this could cause severe or
even fatal injuries.
Make sure that all occupants – in particular,
pregnant women – wear their seat belt cor-
rectly at all times .
R The seat belt must pass closely over your
body and must not be twisted. You
should therefore avoid wearing bulky
clothing (e.g. a winter coat). The shoulder
belt section must be routed across the
middle of your shoulder – on no account
across your neck or under your arm – and
pulled tight against your upper body. The
lap belt must always pass across your lap as low down as possible, i.e. over your
hip joints – not across your abdomen. If
necessary, tighten the belt strap by pull-
ing it down slightly and retighten in the
direction of the inertia reel.
R Do not route the belt strap across sharp
or fragile objects, especially if these ar e
located on or in your clothing, e.g. spec -
tacles, pencils, keys, etc. The seat belt
strap could be damaged and tear in an
accident and you or other vehicle occu -
pants could be injured.
R Only one person should use each seat
belt at any one time. On no account
should children travel sitting on your lap
or the lap of another occupant, as it
would not be possible to restrain the
child in the event of an accident, braking
or a sudden change in direction, which
could result in severe or even fatal inju-
ries to the child and other occupants.
R Persons less than 1.50 m tall cannot
wear the seat belts correctly. For this
reason, secure persons less than 1.50 m
tall in specially designed, suitabl e
restraint systems .
R Children less than 1.50 m tall or under
12 years of age cannot wear the seat Control

Light switch
For reasons of safety, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you drive with the lights switched
on even during the daytime. In some coun-
tries, daytime use of headlamps varies due to
legal requirements and self-imposed obliga-
tions. In these countries, dipped-beam head-
lamps are switched on when the ignition is
switched on.
Vehicles with a luxury multi-function steering
wheel*: you can use the on-board computer
to change this setting in countries where day-
time driving lights are not legally required; se e
the section on daytime driving lights
( Y page 140).
i If you drive in countries in which traffic
drives on the opposite side of the road to
the country where the vehicle is registered ,
oncoming traffic may be dazzled by the
asymmetrical dipped-beam headlamps.
Have the headlamps changed to symmet-
rical dipped beam when driving in these
countries. You can obtain information
about this from any Mercedes-Benz Servic e
Centre. $
