an air bag has inflated. Do not touch them.
R Never place yourf eet on the instrument
panel, dashboard, or on the seat. Always
keep both feet on the floor in front of the

risk of rendering the SRS inoperative or
causing unintended air bag deployment.
Work on the SRS must therefor eonly be
performed by qualified technicians.
Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
R For your protection and the protection of
others, when scrapping the air bag unit or
ETD, our safety instructions must be
followed. These instructions are available from any authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
R Given the considerable deployment speed,
required inflation volume, and the material
of the air bags, there is the possibility of
abrasions or other, potentially more serious
injuries resulting from air bag deployment.
If you sell your vehicle, Mercedes-Benz
strongly recommends that you inform the
subsequent owner that the vehicle is
equipped with SRS. Also, refer them to the
applicabl esection in the Operator's Manual. Air bags
