Risk of injury
The sea tcushions of the bucket seats* are
fastened by Velcro strips.
When a seat cushion is removed, full occupant
protection canno tbe guaranteed.
When the seat cushions on the front-
passenger side are removed, the functions
"seat occupancy recognition" and "automatic
child seat recognition on the front-passenger
seat" are inoperative. As a result, the front-
passenger fron tairbag may not be deployed
in the event of an accident. A text message
will not appear in the instrumen tcluster.
Do not remove the seat cushions. Otherwise,
you or others could be seriously or even fatally
injured in the event of an accident.
! Do not place heavy objects on the front-
passenger seat. The system might errone-
ously interpret this as a perso noccupying
the sea tand the restraint systems on the
front-passenger sea tmay then be triggered
in the event of an acciden tand would have
to be replaced.
Driver's/front-passenge rkneebag
The driver's and front-passenger kneebag can
help reduce the risk of injury to the knees,
thighs and lower legs. Driver's kneebag
0001is always deployed along
with the driver's airbag and inflates under-
neath the steering column.
Front-passenger kneebag 0002is always
deployed along with the front-passenger front airbag and inflates underneath the glove com-
partment.
Sidebags
1 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-Benz vehicles.
The seat covers must have a special 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 control the 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, neck or arms) of the vehicle
occupants on the side of the vehicle on which
the impact occurs. Illustration: standard equipment seats

Please bear the following in mind
Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the
seats can be adjusted either manually or elec-
trically*. G
Risk of injury
The seats can be adjusted when the key has
been removed from the ignition/vehicle. For
this reason, children should never be left
unsupervised in the vehicle. They could adjust
the seats and become trapped. G
Risk of accident
Only adjust the driver's seat when the vehicle
is stationary. You will otherwise be distracted
from the road and traffic conditions and you
could lose control of the vehicle as a result of
the seat moving. This could cause an acci-
dent. Seats
