R at the start of an accident with a high rate
of lateral vehicle deceleration or accelera-
tion, e.g. in a side impact
R independently of seat belt use
R independently of the fronta irbags
R independently of the belt tensioners
R on the front-passenger side if the seat
occupancy recognition detects that the
front-passenger seat is occupied
Headbags
The purpose of the headbags is to enhance
the level of protection for the head (but not
the ches torarms) of the vehicle occupants
on the side of the vehicle on which the impact
occurs. Headbags

R regardless of whether the front-passenger
seat is occupied Exiting in an emergency
If the vehicle is lying on its roof after an acci-
dent, the hinge fasteners of the gullwing doors are released pyrotechnically. You will
hear a bang if this is the case. After the fas-
teners have been released, the doors are
forced outwards. Simultaneously the door
locks are unlocked. The
0018SRS warning
lamp lights up.
i The hinge fasteners are only released
when the control unit recognises that cer-
tain conditions have been fulfilled, e.g.
when the vehicle is in a stabilised position
on its roof.
The doors can then be moved from the
inside/outside by pulling the door handle. Children in the vehicle
If a child is travelling in your vehicle, secure
the child using a child restraint system which
is appropriate to the size and age of the child
and recommended for Mercedes-Ben zvehi-
cles. Make sure that the child is secured in a
child restraint system throughout the trip.
You can obtain information about the correct
child restraint system from any Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre.
i It is advisable to use Mercedes-Benzc are
products to clean child restraint systems.
You can obtain informatio nabout this from
any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. G
Risk of injury
Do not leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle, even if they are secured in a child
restraint system. They could injure them-
selves on parts of the vehicle. They could also
be seriously or even fatally injured by pro-
longed exposure to extreme heat or cold.
Do not expose the child restraint system to
direct sunlight .The metallic parts of the child
restraint system could heat up and the child
could be burned by them.
If a child opens a door, the child or other per-
sons could be injured as a result. They could
get out and injure themselves or be injured by
a passing vehicle. 40

Please bear the following in mind
Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the
steering wheel can be adjusted either man-
ually or electrically*. G
Risk of injury
The electrically adjustable steering wheel*
can be adjusted whe nthe key is removed
from the ignition lock and the driver's door is
open. Therefore, do not leave children unsu- pervised in the vehicle as they could become
trapped as the steering wheel is adjusted.
G
Risk of accident
Only adjust the steering wheel when the vehi-
cle is stationary and do not pull away until the
steering wheel adjustment mechanism is
locked in position. You might otherwise drive
without the steering wheel adjustment mech-
anism being locked in position. As a result,
you could be distracted from road and traffic
conditions by an unintentional movement of
the steering wheel and thereby cause an acci-
dent.
However, the steerability of the vehicle is not
affected.
When you adjust the steering wheel, make
sure that:
R the steering wheel can be reached with
your arms slightly bent
R you can move your legs freely
R you can see all the displays in the instru-
ment cluster clearly Adjusting the steering wheel

when you activate the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT fea-
ture.
If there is a risk of someone becoming trap-
ped, stop the adjustmen tprocedure. To halt
the procedure:
R move the steering column adjustment
switch in the opposite directio nto that in
which the steering wheel is moving.
R press one of the memory function position
buttons. Never leave children unsupervised in the vehi-
cle. They could open the driver's door and
thereby unintentionally activate the EASY-
ENTRY feature and become trapped.

you:
R open the driver's door and the key in the
ignition lock or KEYLESS GO is in position
0or 1.
R remove the key from the ignition lock.
The steering wheel is moved to the last selec-
ted position when you:
R close the driver's door and select position
0, 1or 2with KEYLESS GO.
R close the driver's door and insert the key
into the ignition lock.
The last position of the steering wheel is
stored:
R after each manual adjustment
R after storing a memory position
(Y page 210).
You can activate and deactivate the EASY-
ENTRY/EXIT feature in the on-board com-
puter (Y page 240).
i The crash-responsive EASY-EXIT feature
can only be activated after an accident if
the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature is activated
in the on-board computer.
When the crash-responsive EASY-EXIT fea-
ture is triggered in an accident, the steering
wheel column will move upwards, irrespec-
tive of the key position. This makes it easier
to exit the vehicle or rescue the occupants. Mirrors
