2010 MERCEDES-BENZ SLS COUPE window

G
Risk of injury
The airbag's functionality can only be assured
if the following parts are not covered and no
badges or stickers are attached to them:
R padded steering wheel boss
R kneebag covers under the steering column
and glove compartment
R front-passenger front airbag cover
R outer sea tcushions (no tonbucket seats*)
R the top of the door frame in the area of the
side window G
Risk of injury
When an airbag deploys, a small amoun tof
powder is released. The powder may cause
short-term breathing difficulties to persons
suffering from asthma or other pulmonary
conditions.
In order to prevent potential breathing diffi-
culties, you should leave the vehicle as soon
as it is safe to do so. You can also open the
window to allow fresh air to enter the vehicle
interior. The powder generally does not con-
stitute a health hazard and does not indicate
that there is a fire in the vehicle. G
Risk of injury
The airbag parts are hot after the airbag has
been deployed. Do not touch them as you
could burn yourself.
Have the airbags replaced at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. Otherwise, occupants are
not protected by the airbags in the event of
another accident.
Features specific to bucket seats*
Vehicles with bucket seats have no sidebags.
The additional passive safety offered by the
sidebag is not available as aresult. Therefore,
there is an increased risk of injury during side
impacts and if the vehicle overturns. In par-
ticular, the chest area may be affected. Direct
contact with the vehicle's interior compo-
nents and possibly external objects is more likely. Thus, there is an increased risk of
injury.
Front airbags
Fron
tairbags are designed to increase pro-
tection for the driver's and front-passenger's
head and chest. Driver's airbag
0001deploys in front of the
steering wheel; front-passenger airbag 0002
deploys in front of and above the glove com-
partment.
They are deployed:
R at the start of an accident with a high rate
of vehicle acceleration or deceleration in a
longitudinal direction
R if the system determines that airbag
deploymen tcan offer additional protection
to that provided by the seat belt
R if the seat belt is fastened
R independently of other airbag sinthe vehi-
cle
R if the vehicle overturns,b ut only if the sys-
te md etects high vehicle deceleration in a
longitudinal direction
Front-passenger fron tairbag 0002can only be
deployed if an occupant is detected on the
front-passenger seat and the 000A
PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF warning lamp on
the centre console does not light up
(Y page 42).
The 000A PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF warning
lamp on the centre console lights up when a
child restraint system with automatic child
seat recognition is detected. 38

Priming tow-away protection X
Loc kthe vehicle using the key.
Tow-away protection is primed after
approximately 30 seconds.
Deactivating tow-away protection Tow-away protection is automatically deacti-
vated when you unlock your vehicle using the
key.
To prevent a false alarm, deactivate tow-away
protection manually if your vehicle:
R is being transported
R is being loaded, e.g. onto a ferry or car
transporter
R is parked on a movable surface, e.g. in a
split-level garage X
Using the Start/Stop button, set to key
position 0.
or
X Remove the key from the ignition lock.
X Press button 0001.
Indicator lamp 0002lights up briefly.
X Lock the vehicle using the key.
Tow-away protection remains deactivated
until the vehicle is unlocked and locked
again. Interior motion sensor
If the interior motion sensor is primed, a vis-
ual and audible alarm is triggered when move-
ment is detected in the vehicle interior while
the vehicle is locked. This occurs, for exam-
ple, if someone breaks the side windows of
your vehicle or reaches into the vehicle's inte-
rior.
Priming the interior motion sensor X
Make sure that the side windows are
closed.
X Make sure that there are no objects, such
as mascots, attached to the rear-view mir-
ror.
This will prevent false alarms.
X Make sure that the boot lid is closed.
Only then can the interior motion sensor be
primed.
X Lock the vehicle using the key.
The interior motion sensor is primed after
approximately 30 seconds.
i Do not place any objects on the armrest
in the centre console. Otherwise, the oper-
ation of the interior motion sensor is
restricted.
Metallic objects coming into contact with
other metallic objects, for example, keys,
on, near or in the armrest in the centre
console, may trigger a false alarm. These
could otherwise trigger false alarms.
Deactivating the interior motion sensor The interior motion sensor is automatically
deactivated when you unlock your vehicle
using the key.
To prevent a false alarm, deactivate the inte-
rior motion sensor if you lock your vehicle
and:
R people remain in the vehicle
R animals remain in the vehicle
R the side windows remain open 50

The help window provides information in
addition to the audible instructions during
individualisation and when you are subse-
quently using voice control.
Individualisation Individualisation adapts LINGUATRONIC to
your voice, resulting in optimised voice rec-
ognition .This means that other users' voices
will not be recognised as easily, and therefore
this function can be switched off
(Y page 75).
Individualisation comprises two parts and
takes approximately five minutes. It consists
of training the system to recognise a certain
number of digit sequences and voice com-
mands.
Starting new individualisation
It is only possible to start individualisation
when the vehicle is stationary. Before start-
ing, switch off all devices or functions which
could interfere, such as the radio or the nav-
igation system. After commencing individual-
isation, the system guides you with spoken
instructions.

whether you would like further information.
X Select YesorNo.
If you select No, the first part of the voice
training begins. You will be asked whether you would like to train digits or voice com-
mands.
After selecting
Yes, you see an information
display and hear information regarding the
individualisation process. The first part of
individualisation then begins automati-
cally.
or
X To close the display: press0017.
You will be asked whether you would like
to train digits or voice commands. At the end of the first part, a prompt will

cancelled. The data from the first part is
stored automatically.
