WARNING
Modifications to or work improperly con-
ducted on restraint system components or
their wiring, as well as tampering with inter-
connected electronic systems, can lead to the restraint system snolonger functioning as
intended.
Air bags or Emergenc yTensioning Devices
(ETDs), for example, could deploy inadver-
tently or fail to deploy in accidents although
the deceleration threshold for air bag deploy- ment is exceeded. Therefore, neve rmodify
the restraint systems. Do not tamper with
electronic components or their software.
In this section, you will learn the most impor-
tan tfact sabout the restraint system compo-
nents of the vehicle.
The restraint system consists of:
R Seat belts
R Child restraint systems
Additional protection is provided by:
R SRS (Supplemental Restrain tSystem)
R Air bag system components with:
- PASSENGER AIR BAGO FF indicator lamp
- Front-passenger seat with Occupant
Classification System (OCS)
Although the system sare independent ,their
protective function swork in conjunction with
each other .Not all air bags are always
deployed in an accident.

Occupant safetySafety

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.

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

(OCS)
How the Occupant Classification Sys-
tem works The Occupant Classification System (OCS)
categorize sthe occupant on the front-
passenger sea tusing aw eigh tsensor. The
front-passenger front ai rbag and the front-
passenger knee ba gare deactivate dauto-
matically for certain weight categories. The
00730074 indicator lamp shows yo uthe cur-
rent status. If the 00730074indicator lamp
lights up ,the front-passenger front ai rbag
and the front-passenger knee ba gare disa-
bled.
The system doe snot deactivate:
R the front-passenger sid eimpact ai rbag
R the front-passenger hea dbag
R the Emergency Tensioning Devices 42
Occupant safetySafety

To be classified correctly, the frontp
assenger
must sit:
R with the seat belt fastened correctly
R in ap osition that is as upright as possible
with their back against the seat backrest
R with their feet on the floor
If the front-passenger's weight is transferred
to another object in the vehicle (e.g. by lean-
ing on armrests), OCS may not be able to
approximate the occupant's weight category.
In order to determin ewhether or not the front
passenger has been detected, both the driver and the frontp assenger should observe the
00730074 indicator lamp.
If the front-passenger seat, the seat cover or the seat cushion are damaged, have the nec- essary repair work carried out at an author-
ized Mercedes-Benz Center.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use seat accessories
that have been approved by Mercedes-Benz. G
WARNING
If the 00730074 indicator lamp lights up when
the front-passenger seat is occupied by an
adult or alarger person, ask the passenger to
reposition themselves on the seat so that the
00730074 indicator lamp goes out.
In the event of acollision, the air bag control
unit will not allow front-passenger fronta ir
bag and front-passenger knee bag deploy-
ment when the OCS has classified the front-
passenger occupant as weighing as much as
or less than atypical 12-month-old child in a
standard child restraint or if the front-
passenger seat is classified as being unoccu-
pied.
If OCS has detected that the frontp assenger
weighs the same as or less than atypical 12-
month-old child in astandard child restraint
system, the 00730074indicator lamp lights
up when the engine is started and remains lit. This indicates that the front-passenger front
air bag is deactivated.
If OCS determines that the front-passenger
seat is unoccupied, the 00730074indicator lamp lights up once the engine has been
started and remains lit. This shows that the
front-passenger fronta
ir bag and front-
passenger knee bag are deactivated.
If OCS determines that the frontp assenger
weighs more than atypical 12 montho ld child
in as tandard child restraint system and clas-
sifies this as asmall person (e.g. ateenager or
small adult), the 00730074indicator lamp
lights up for approximately 6seconds when
the engine is started. Dependin gonoccupant
weight sensor readings from the seat, it will
then remain illuminated or go out. If the
00730074 indicator lamp is illuminated, the
front-passenger fronta ir bag is deactivated.
With the 00730074 indicator lamp out, the
front-passenger fronta ir bag and front-
passenger knee bag are deactivated.
If OCS has determined that the front
passenger is an adult or medium sized person, the 00730074 indicator lamp lights up for
approximately 6seconds when the engine is
started and then goes out. This shows that the
front-passenger fronta ir bag and front-
passenger knee bag are activated.
If the 00730074 indicator lamp is illuminated,
the front-passenger fronta ir bag and the
front-passenger knee bag are deactivated and
are not deployed.
If the 00730074 indicator lamp does not light
up, the front-passenger air bag is enabled and
will be deployed:
R in the event of certain frontal impacts
R if the impact exceeds apreset deployment
threshold
R independently of the other air bags
If the front-passenger air bag is deployed, the
rate of inflation is influenced by:
R the rate of vehicle deceleration as assessed
by the air bag control unit
R the frontp assenger's weight category as
determined by the OCS

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
