Never tamper with electronic components
and their software.
SRS (Supplemental Restraint System)
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
forces to which occupants are subjected dur-
ing an accident.
SRS consists of:
R the 0081 SRS warning lamp
R belt tensioners
R belt force limiters
R airbags
The 0081
0081 SRS warning lamp The SRS functions are checked regularly
when you turn on the ignition and when the
engine is running. Therefore, malfunctions
can be detected in good time.
The 0081 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. G
Risk of injury
If SRS is malfunctioning, individual systems
may be activated unintentionally or not be
deployed in the event of an accident with
heavy braking.
Am alfunction has occurred if the 0081SRS
warning lamp:
R does not light up when you switch on the
ignition
R does not go out after the engine has been
running for afew seconds
R lights up again once the engine is running
In this case, have SRS checked immediately
at aq ualifieds pecialist workshop. Triggering of belt tensioners, belt force
limiters and airbags In the event of
acollision, the airbagc ontrol
unit evaluates important physical data such
as duration, direction and force of the vehicle
deceleration or acceleration. Based on the
evaluation of this data and in the event of lon-
gitudinal deceleration, in acollision, and
depending on the rate of deceleration, the
airbagc ontrol unit pre-emptively triggers the
belt tensioners in the first stage.
i The belt tensioners can only be triggered
if the belt tongue is correctly engaged in the
seat belt buckle.
The front airbags are only deployed if there is
an even higher rate of vehicle deceleration in
al ongitudinal direction.
Your vehicle has adaptive, duals tage front
airbags. When the first activation threshold is
reached, the front airbagisf illedwith enough
propellant gas to reduce the risk of injuries.
The front airbagiso nly fullydeployed if asec-
ond threshold is reached within afew milli-
seconds, due to the control unit having detec-
ted further deceleration.
Criteria for triggering belt tensioners and
airbags
In the first stage of acollision, the airbagc on-
trol unit evaluates the duration and direction
of vehicle acceleration or deceleration, in
order to determine whether it is necessary to
trigger abelt tensioner or an airbag.
The belt tensioner and airbagt riggering
thresholds are variable and are adapted to the
rate of deceleration of the vehicle. This proc-
ess is pre-emptive in nature as the airbag
must be deployed during –and not at the end
of –t he collision.
i Airbags are not deployed in all types of
accidents. They are controlled by complex
sensor technology and evaluation logic.
This process is pre-emptive in nature as
airbagd eployment must take place during
the impact and must be adapted to provide Occupant safety

The different airba gsystems work inde-

depends on the typ eofaccident as deter-

stages of the collisio n(head-on collision,
sid eimpact and rea rcollision) and the
severity of the accident (i nparticular, the
vehicle's rate of deceleration or accelera-
tion).
The rate of vehicle deceleration or accelera-

Bel ttensioners, belt forc elim iters The sea
tbelts are fitted with bel ttensioners.

of an accident.
If the sea tbelti sa lsoe quipped with abelt

Bel ttensioners tighten the sea tbelts in an
accident, pulling them close against the body.
i Belttensioners do not correct incorrect
sea tpositions or incorrectl yfastened seat
belts.
Bel ttensioners do not pull occupants back
towards the backrest.
The front bel tforce limiters are synchronised
with the front airbags, which distribute apro-
portion of the deceleration force sexerted on

Airbags Airbag deployment slows down and restricts
the movement of the vehicle occupant.
If the airbags are deployed, you will hear a
bang and asmall amount of powder may also
be released. Only in rare cases will the bang
affect your hearing. The powder that escapes
does not generally constitute ahealth hazard.
The 0081 SRS warning lamp lights up.
The AIRBAG label indicates the location of the
airbags. G
Risk of injury
Airbags provide additional protection; they
are not, however, asubstitute for seat belts.
Observe the following notes to reduce the risk
of serious or even fatal injury caused by airbag
deployment:
R All vehicle occupants ―inparticular, preg-
nant women ―must wear their seat belt
correctly at all times and lean back against
the backrest, which should be positioned
as close to the vertical as possible. The
head restraint must support the back of the
head at about eye level.
R Always secure children less than 1.50 mtall
and under 12 years of age in suitable child
restraint systems.
R All vehicle occupants must select aseat
position that is as far away from the airbag
as possible. The driver's seat position must
allow the vehicle to be driven safely. The
driver's chest should be as far away from
the centre of the driver's front airbag cover
as possible. R
Move the front-passenger seat as far back
as possible. This is especially important if
you have secured achild in achild restraint
system on the front-passenger seat.
R Coupé: vehicle occupants —inparticular,
children —must not lean their head into the
area of the window in which the sidebag/
windowbag is deployed.
R Cabriolet: vehicle occupants —inparticular,
children —must not lean their head into the
area of the window in which the sidebag/
headbagisd eployed.
R Rearward-facing child restraint systems
must not be fitted to the front-passenger
seat unless the front-passenger front air-
bag has been disabled. On the front-
passenger seat, the front-passenger front
airbag is only disabledifac hild restraint
system with automatic child seat recogni-
tion is fitted to the front-passenger seat*.
The 007F PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF warn-
ing lamp must be continuously lit.
If the front-passenger seat of your vehicle
does not have automatic child seat recog-
nition*, or your rearward-facing child
restraint system does not have automatic
child seat recognition, children must be
secured in achild restraint system on a
suitable seat in the rear. If you secure a
forward-facing child restraint system to the
front-passenger seat, you must move the
front-passenger seat as far back as possi-
ble.
R Make sure there are no heavy or sharp-
edged objectsinp ockets of clothing.
R Do not lean forwards, e.g. over the cover of
the driver's/front-passenger front airbag,
particularly when the vehicle is in motion.
R Do not put your feet on the dashboard.
R Only hold the steering wheel by the rim.
This allowst he airbag to deploy fully.Y ou

incorrectly.
Driver' sknee airbag
i The driver' skneea irbag is only available
in certain countries.
The driver' skneea irbag can help reduce the
risk of injury to the knees, thighs and lower
legs. Driver's knee airbag
0046is always deployed
along with the driver' sfron tairbag and
deploys underneath the steering column.
Sidebags G
Risk of injury
If you wish to use seat covers, Mercedes-Benz
recommends that ,for safety reasons ,you
only use seat cover sthat have been approved
for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
The seat cover smust have aspecial tear seam
for sidebags. Otherwise, the sidebags cannot
deploy correctly and would fail to provide the
intended protection in the event of an acci-
dent. G
Risk of injury
Sensors to contro lthe airbags are located in
the doors. Therefore, do not make any modi-
fications to the doors or door trim ,e.g. retro-
fitting loudspeakers. Damage to the doors
can affect operation of the sidebags.
The purpose of sidebag deployment is to
enhance the level of protection for the thorax
(but not the head, nec korarms) of the vehicle
occupants on the side of the vehicle on which
the impact occurs. Example: Coupé
Fron
tsidebags 0046or rear-compartment side-
bags 0047deploy nex ttothe outer seat cush-
ions. They are deployed:
R on the side on which an impact occurs
R at the start of an acciden twith ahigh rate
of lateral vehicle deceleration or accelera-
tion ,e.g. in aside impact
R independently of the seat belt use
R independently of the fron tairbags
R independently of the belt tensioners
Front head airbags (Cabriolet)
The purpose of the head airbags is to enhance
the level of protection for the head (but not
chest or arms) of the vehicle occupants on
the side of the vehicle on which the impact
occurs. Occupant safety
