SRS (Supplementa
lRestraint System)
Introduction SRS reduces the risk of occupants coming
into contact with the vehicle's interior in the
event of an accident. It can also reduce the
effect of the forces to which occupants are
subjected during an accident.
SRS consistso f:
R 0075 SRS warning lamp
R air bags
R air bag control unit (with crash sensors)
R Emergency Tensioning Devices
R seat belt force limiters
SRS warning lamp G
WARNING
If SRS is malfunctioning, restraint system
components may be triggered unintentionally
or might not be triggered at all in the event of
an accident with ahigh rate of vehicle decel-
eration. There is an increased risk of injury,
possibly even fatal.
Have SRS checked and repaired immediately
at aq ualified specialist workshop.
SRS functions are checked regularly when
you switch on the ignition and when the
engine is running. Therefore, malfunctions
can be detected in good time.
The 0075 SRS warning lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up when the ignition is switched on. It goes out no later than afew seconds
after the engine is started.
The SRS components are in operational read-
iness when the 0075SRS indicator lamp goes
out while the engine is running. There is
amalfunction if:
R the 0075 SRS warning lamp does not light
up when the ignition is switched on
R the engine is running and the 0075SRS
warning lamp does not go out after afew
seconds
R the engine is running and the 0075SRS
warning lamp lights up again
Safety guidelines for seat belts, Emer-
gency Tensioning Devices (ETDs) and
air bags G
WARNING
R Damaged seat belts or seat belts that have
been subjected to stress in an accident
must be replaced. Their anchoring points
must also be checked. Only use seat belts
installed or suppliedbyana uthorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
R Air bags and pyrotechnic Emergency Ten-
sioning Devices (ETDs) contain perchlorate
material, which may require special han-
dling and regard for the environment.
Check your national disposal guidelines.
California residents, see
www.dtsc.ca.gov/HazardousWaste/
Perchlorate/index.cfm .
R Air bags and ETDs are designed to function
on aone-time-only basis. An air bag or ETD
that has deployedm ust be replaced.
R Do not pass seat belts over sharp edges.
They could tear.
R Do not make any modification that could
change the effectiveness of the seat belts.
R Do not bleach or dye seat belts as this may
severely weaken them. In acrash they may
not be able to provide adequate protection.
R No modifications of any kind may be made
to any components or wiring of the SRS.
R Do not change or remove any componen tor
part of the SRS.
R Do not install additional trim material, seat
covers, badges, etc. over the steering
wheel hub, front-passenger front air bag Occupant safety

If the SmartKey has been removed from the
ignition lock or the Start/Stop button has
been set to position 0,the
00730074 indicator lamp 0043does not light
up. G
WARNING
If the red 0075SRS warning lamp in the
instrument cluster and the 00730074indica-
tor lamp lightu psimultaneously, the OCS is
malfunctioning. The front passenger front air
bag willbed eactivated in this case. Have the
system checked by qualifiedt echnicians as
soon as possible. Contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
Only have the seat repaired or replaced at an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
In order to ensure proper operation of the air
bag system and OCS:
R Sit with the seat belt properl yfastened in a
positio nthat is as upright as possible with
yourb ack against the seat backrest.
R When seated, apassenger shouldn ot posi-
tion him/hersel finsuchaway as to cause
the passenger's weight to be lifted from the seat cushio nasthis may resultint he OCS
being unabletoc orrectly approximate the
passenger's weight category.
R Reada nd observe all warnings in this chap-
ter. System self-test The
00730074 indicator lamp illuminates
when you:
R turn the SmartKey to position 1or 2in the
ignition lock
R press the Start/Stop button once or twice
If an adult occupant is properl ysitting on the
passenger seat and the OCS classifies the
occupant as an adult, the 00730074indicator
lamp illuminates and goes out again after
approximately 6seconds.
If the seat is not occupie dand the OCS clas-
sifies the front passenger seat as being unoc-
cupied, the 00730074indicator lamp willi llu-
minate and not go out. G
WARNING
If the 00730074indicator lamp does not illu-
minate, the system is not functioning. You
must contac tanauthorized Mercedes-Benz
Center befor eseatin gany child on the
passenger seat.
For more information, see "Problem swith the
Occupant Classification System"
(Y page 46). G
WARNING
Never place anything betwee nseat cushion
and child seat (e.g. apillow), sinc eitreduces
the effectiveness of the OCS. The underside
and rear side child restraint system must be
placed entirely on the seat cushio nand the
backrest of the front-passenge rseat back-
rest.
If necessary, adjust the tilt of the passenger
seat backrest.
An incorrectly mounted child seat could cause
injuries to the child in case of an accident,
instead of increasin gprotection for the child.
Follow the manufacturer' sinstructions for
installation of child restraint systems. Occupant safety
