GWARNING
If you switch off the ignition while driving,
safety-relevant functions are only available
with limitations, or not at all. This could affect,
for example, the power steering and the brake
boosting effect. You will require considerably
more effort to steer and brake. There is a risk
of an accident.
Do not switch off the ignition while driving.
GWARNING
Modifications to electronic components, their
software as well as wiring could effect their
function and/or the operation of other net-
worked components. This could in particular
also be the case for systems relevant to
safety. They might not function properly any
more and/or jeopardise the operational
safety of the vehicle. There is an increased
risk of an accident and injury.
Do not attempt to modify the wiring as well as
electronic components or their software.
Always have work on electrical and electronic
components carried out at a qualified special-
ist workshop.
! There is a risk of damage to the vehicle if:
R the vehicle makes contact with the
ground, e.g. on a high kerb or a loose
road surface
R you drive too quickly over an obstacle,
e.g. a kerb or a pothole
R a heavy object hits the underbody or
chassis component
In these or similar situations, the vehicle
body, the underbody, chassis components,
wheels or tyres could be damaged even if
this is not visible. Components that have
been damaged in this way can unexpect-
edly fail or no longer be able to assimilate
the loads occurring in the event of an acci-
dent.
If the underbody panelling is damaged,
flammable material, such as leaves, grass
or twigs, could collect between the under-
body and underbody panelling. These
materials could ignite if they remain in con-
tact with hot components of the exhaust
system for an extended period.
Have the vehicle checked and repaired
immediately at a qualified specialist work-
shop. If you become aware when continu-
ing the journey that driving safety has been
effected, stop as soon as possible in
accordance with the traffic conditions. In
such cases, consult a qualified specialist
workshop.

The electromagnetic compatibility of the vehi-
cle components has been checked and certi-
fied according to the currently valid version
of Regulation ECE-R 10.
Diagnostics connection
The diagnostics connection is only intended
for the connection of diagnostic equipment at
a qualified specialist workshop.
GWARNING
If you connect equipment to a diagnostics
connection in the vehicle, it can affect the
operation of the vehicle systems. This may
affect the operating safety of the vehicle.
There is a risk of an accident.

Useful information
i This Owner's Manual describes all mod-
els, series and optional equipment for your
vehicle that were available at the time of
going to press. National variations are pos-
sible. Note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all of the functions descri-
bed. This is also the case for systems and
functions relevant to safety.

Occupant safety
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Modifications to the restraint systems could
result in them not functioning properly any
more. The restraint systems could then no
longer protect vehicle occupants as they are
designed to do and could fail in the event of
an accident or activate unexpectedly, for
example. There is an increased risk of injury.
Never modify parts of the restraint systems.
Do not attempt to modify the wiring as well as
electronic components or their software.
The airbag system can be adapted for a per-
son with disabilities. For further information,
consult a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
The seat belts, together with SRS (Supple-
mental Restraint System), are complemen-
tary, co-ordinated restraint systems
( Y page 41). They reduce the risk of injury
in specific, pre-defined types of accident sit-
uations and thereby increase occupant
safety. However, seat belts and airbags gen-
erally do not protect against objects pene-
trating the vehicle from the outside.
To ensure that the restraint systems can
deliver their full potential protection, make
sure that:
R the seat and head restraint are adjusted
properly ( Y page 94)
R the seat belt has been fastened properly
( Y page 46)
R the airbags can inflate without restriction if
deployed ( Y page 42)
R the steering wheel is adjusted properly
( Y page 100)
R the restraint systems have not been modi-
fied
An airbag increases the protection of vehicle
occupants wearing a seat belt. However, air-
bags are only an additional restraint system
that complements, but 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. The air-
bags are not deployed in all types of acci-
dents. For example, if the protective capacity
of correctly fastened seat belts is not
increased by deploying the airbags, the air-
bags will not deploy.40Occupant safetySafety
