Restraint system: introduction
The restraint system reduces the risk of occu-
pants hitting parts of the vehicle interior in the
event of an accident. Furthermore, the
restraint system may also reduce the forces
exerted on the vehicle occupants when an
accident occurs.
The restraint system includes:
R Seat belt system
R Air bags
R Child restraint system
R Child seat securing system
The components of the restraint system work
in conjunction with each other. They can only
offer the intended level of protection if all
vehicle occupants:
R are correctly wearing their seat belts.
(Y page 47)
R adjust their seat and head restraint prop-
erly (Y page 107).
The driver is also responsible for ensuring
that the steering wheel has been correctly
positioned. Observe the information relating
to the correct driver's seat position
(Y page 106).
Always ensure the air bag can inflate properly if deployed (Y page 50).
An air bag supplements a correctly fastened
seat belt and is an additional safety device
providing increased protection for vehicle
occupants in appropriate accident situations.
For example, if the protection already provi-
ded by a correctly fastened seat belt will suf-
fice, the air bags are not deployed. Further-
more, only the air bags that would increase
the degree of protection afforded to the vehi- cle occupants in the event of an accident are deployed. Seat belts and air bags generally do
not protect against objects penetrating the
vehicle from the outside.
Information on the restraint system operation can be found under "Triggering of belt ten-
sioners and air bags" (Y page 58).44

WARNING
Modifications to the restraint system may
cause it to no longer work as intended. The
restraint system may then not perform its
intended protective function and may fail in an accident or trigger unexpectedly, for example.
This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Never modify parts of the restraint system.
Never tamper with the wiring, the electronic
components or their software.
If it is necessary to modify an air bag system to
accommodate a person with disabilities, con- tact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for
details. USA only: for further information con- tact our Customer Assistance Center at
1-800-FOR-MERCedes (1‑800‑ 367‑6372). Restraint system warning lamp
The functions of the restraint system are
checked after the ignition is switched on and
at regular intervals while the engine is run-
ning. Therefore, malfunctions can be detec-
ted in good time.
The 0075 restraint system warning lamp in
the instrument cluster lights up when the igni- tion is switched on. It goes out no later than afew seconds after the engine is started. The
components of the restraint system are in
operational readiness.
A malfunction has occurred if the 0075
restraint system warning lamp:
R does not light up after the ignition is
switched on
R does not go out after a few seconds with
the engine running
R lights up again while the engine is running G
WARNING
If restraint system is malfunctioning, restraint system components may be triggered unin-
tentionally or might not be triggered at all in
the event of an accident with a high rate of
vehicle deceleration. This can affect the Emer- gency Tensioning Device or air bag, for exam-
ple. This poses an increased risk of injury or
even fatal injury.
Have the restraint system checked and
repaired in a qualified specialist workshop as
soon as possible. PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
0043
is part of the Occupant Classification System (OCS).
The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
informs you about the status of the front-
passenger front air bag.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp:
R is lit : the front-passenger front air bag is
deactivated. They will then not be deployed
in the event of an accident.
R does not light up: the front-passenger
front air bag is enabled. If, in the event of an
accident, all deployment criteria are met,
the front-passenger front air bag is
deployed. Occupant safety

Depending on the person in the front-
passenger seat, the front-passenger front air
bag must either be disabled or enabled; see
the following points. You must make sure of
this both before and during a journey.
R Children in a child restraint system:
whether the front-passenger front air bag is
enabled or deactivated depends on the
installed child restraint system, and the age
and size of the child. Therefore, be sure to
observe the notes on the "Occupant clas-
sification system (OCS)" (Y page 53) and
on "Children in the vehicle" (Y page 61).
There you will also find instructions on
backwards- and forwards-facing child
restraint systems on the front-passenger
seat.
R All other persons: depending on the clas-
sification of the person in the front-
passenger seat, the front-passenger front
air bag is enabled or deactivated
(Y page 53). Be sure to observe the notes
on "Seat belts“ (Y page 46) and "Air bags"
(Y page 50). There you can also find infor-
mation on the correct seat position. Seat belts
Introduction A correctly fastened seat belt is the most
effective means of restraining the movement
of vehicle occupants in the event of an acci-
dent or overturn. This reduces the risk of
vehicle occupants coming into contact with
parts of the vehicle interior or being thrown
from the vehicle. Furthermore, the seat belt
helps to keep the vehicle occupants in the
best position in relation to the air bag.
The seat belt system consists of:
R Seat belts
R Emergency Tensioning Devices for the
front seat belts and the outer seat belts in
the second and third row of seats
R Belt force limiters for the front seat belts
and the outer seat belts in the second row of seats and the seat belts in the third row
of seats
If the seat belt is pulled quickly or suddenly
from the belt sash guide, the inertia reel
locks. The belt strap cannot be pulled out fur- ther.
Emergency Tensioning Devices tighten the
seat belts in an accident, pulling them close
against the occupant's body. They do not,
however, pull vehicle occupants back
towards the backrest.
Emergency Tensioning Devices do not cor-
rect an incorrect seat position or incorrectly
worn seat belts.
When activated, the belt force limiters reduce
the force exerted by the seat belt on the vehi-
cle occupants.
The belt force limiters for the front seats are
synchronized with the front air bags, which
absorb part of the deceleration force. This
makes it possible to reduce the forces to
which vehicle occupants are subjected during an accident.
! If the front-passenger seat is unoccupied,
do not insert the belt tongue into the buckle of the front-passenger seat. This may oth-
erwise lead to the triggering of the Emer-
gency Tensioning Device in the event of anaccident, which will then need to be
replaced.
Important safety notes The use of seat belts and child restraint sys-
tems is required by law in:
R all 50 states
R the U.S. territories
R the District of Columbia
R all Canadian provinces
Even where this is not required by law, all
vehicle occupants should correctly fasten
their seat belts before starting the journey. G
WARNING
If the seat belt is incorrectly fastened, it can-
not protect as intended. Furthermore, an 46
