Vehicl
eequipment
i Thismanua ldesc ribe sallthe standard
and optional equipment of your vehicle
which wa savailable at th etime of pur-
chase. Countr y-specif ic differences are
possible. Bear in mind tha tyour vehicle

Important safet
ynotes
Seat belts, together with belt tensioners, belt
forc elimiter sand airbags, are complemen-
tary, coordi nated restraint systems. They
reduce the risk of injur yinspecific ,pre-
define dtypes of accident situa tions and
thereby increase occupan tsafety. However,
seat belts and airbags generally do not pro-
tec tagainst objec tspenetratin gthe vehicle
from the outside.
To ensur ethat the restraint system scan
deliver their full potential protection, make
sure that:
R the seat and head restraint are adjusted
properly (Y page 92).
R the seat belt has been fastened properly
(Y page 41)
R the airbags can inflate unrestricted if
deployed (Y page 34)
R the steering wheel is adjusted properly
(Y page 92)
R the restraint systems have not been modi-
fied.
i An airbag increases the protection of
vehicle occupant swearing aseat belt. As
such they are only an additional restraint
system which complemen ts,b ut does not
replace, the seat belt. All vehicle occupants
must wear their seat belt correctly at all
times, even if the vehicle is equipped with
airbags. Airbags are not deployed in all
types of accidents, e.g. in situations where
airbag deployment would not increase the protection afforded by
acorrectly worn
seat belt. Airbag deployment only provides
increased protection if the seat belt is worn
correctly, because:
R the seat belt helps to keep the vehicle
occupan tinthe best position in relation
to the airbag
R for example, in ahead-on collision ,the
seat belt can mor eadequately prevent
the occupant from being propelled
towards the point of the impact, and is
thus better suited to prevent injury.
Therefore, in accident situations where an
airba gisd eployed, it only provides protec-
tion in addition to the seat belt if the seat
belt is being worn correctly. G
Risk of accident and inju
ry
Always have maintenance work carried out at
aq ualified specialist workshop which has the
necessary specialist knowledg eand tool sto
carry out the work required.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for thi spur-
pose.
In particular, work relevant to safety or on
safety-related systems must be carried out at
aq ualified specialist workshop .Ifthis wor kis
not carried out correctly, the operating safety
of your vehicl emay be affected. There is arisk
of an accident and injury. G
Risk of injury
The restrain tsystem may not work as inten-
ded if the following components have been
modified or work on thes ecomponents has
not been performed correctly:
R restraint system ,consisting of the seat
belts and anchorages, belt tensioners, belt
force limiters, airbags
R wiring
R networked electronic systems
Airbags or belt tensioners coul dthen fail, e.g.
in the even tofanaccident in which the decel-
eratio nforc ew ould normally be high enough
to trigger the systems, or they coul dbetrig- 32

Fron
tairbags The fron
tairbags increase protection for the
driver' sand front-passenger' shead and
chest. Driver
's front air bag:deploys in front of the
steerin gwheel; front-passenger front air-
bag ;deploys in front of and above the glove
compartment .They ar edeployed:
R at the star tofanaccident with ahigh rate
of vehicle acceleration or deceleration in a
longitudinal dire ction
R if the system determines that airbag
deploymen tcan offer additional protec tion
to that provide dbytheseat belt
R if th eseat belt is fastened
R independently of other airbag sinthe vehi-
cle
If the vehicle overturns ,the front airbags are
generally not deployed unless the system
detec tshigh vehicle deceleration in alongi-
tudinal direction.
Front-passenger front airbag ;is only
deployed if the front-passenger seat is occu-
pied or if the 4PASSENGER AIRBA GOFF
indicato rlamp in the centre console is not lit
(Y page 46). This means that achild
restraint system with automatic chil dseat
recognition has not been fitted to the front-
passenger seat or has been fitted incorrectly.
! Do not place heavy object sonthe front-
passenger seat. This could cause the sys-
tem to identify the seat as being occupied.
In the even tofanaccident, the restraint
systems on the front-passenger sid eare triggered
.Have restraint systems that have
been triggered replaced.
Driver's kneebag i
The driver' skneebag is only available in
certain countries.
The driver's kneebag increases protection of
the driver against:
R knee injuries
R thig hinjuries
R lowe rleg injuries Driver's kneebag
:is always deployed along
with the driver' sfront airbag and inflates
underneath th esteering column.
Sidebags G
Risk of injury
If you wish to use seat covers, Mercedes-Benz
recommends that, for safety reasons ,you
only use seat covers that have been approved
for Mercedes-Ben zvehicles.
The seat cover smust have aspecial tear seam
for sidebags/pelvisbags. Otherwise, the side-
bag/pelvisbag cannot deploy correctly and
would fail to provide the intended protection
in the event of an accident. Appropriate seat
cover scan be obtained, for example, from a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. 36
