When deployed, the sidebag offers additional
thorax protection. However, it does not protect
the:
R head
R neck
R arms
AMG Performance seat: increased pelvis pro-
tection is also offered for occupants in the front seats.
In the event of a side impact, the sidebag is
deployed on the side on which the impact
occurs.
The sidebag on the front-passenger side deploys
under the following conditions:
R the automatic front-passenger front airbag
deactivation system has detected that the
front-passenger seat is occupied, or
R the seat belt buckle tongue is engaged in the
belt buckle of the front-passenger seat
If the belt tongue is engaged in the belt buckle,
the sidebag on the front-passenger side deploys if an appropriate accident situation occurs. In
this case, deployment is independent of
whether the front-passenger seat is occupied or
not.
Windowbags Windowbags
:are integrated in the side of the
roof frame above the doors.
When deployed, the windowbag enhances the
level of protection for the head. However, it does
not protect the chest or arms.
In the event of a side impact, the windowbag is
deployed on the side on which an impact occurs.
If the system determines that it can offer addi-
tional protection to that provided by the seat
belt, a windowbag may be deployed in other
accident situations (Y page 46). Automatic front-passenger front air-
bag deactivation
Introduction In order to recognise a child restraint system on
the front-passenger seat, the automatic front-
passenger front airbag deactivation system cat- egorises the person in the front-passenger seat.Depending on that result, the front-passenger
front airbag and front-passenger kneebag are
either enabled or disabled. If a rearward-facing
child restraint system is fitted to the front-
passenger seat, the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp must light up after the system
self-test and remain lit. The front-passenger
front airbag and front-passenger kneebag are
disabled.
The system does not disable:
R the sidebag
R the windowbag
R the seat belt tensioner
If you install a child restraint system on the
front-passenger seat, be sure to observe the
correct positioning of the child restraint system. Never place objects under or behind the child
restraint system, e.g. cushions. The entire baseof the child restraint system must always rest on
the seat cushion of the front-passenger seat.
The backrest of a forward-facing child restraint
system must, as far as possible, rest flat against the backrest of the front-passenger seat. The
child restraint system must not touch the roof or
be put under strain by the head restraint. Adjust the angle of the seat backrest and the head
restraint position accordingly. Only then is the
correct function of the automatic front-
passenger front airbag deactivation system
guaranteed. Always observe the information onsuitable positioning of the child restraint system
(Y page 51) in addition to the child restraint
system manufacturer's installation instructions. Occupant safety
41Safety Z

If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
goes out, the front-passenger front airbag is
enabled (Y page 35).
Vehicles without the automatic front-
passenger front airbag deactivation
system If the front-passenger seat of your vehicle is not
equipped with the automatic front-passenger
front airbag deactivation system, this is indica-
ted by a special sticker. The sticker is affixed to
the side of the dashboard on the front-
passenger side. The sticker is visible when you
open the front-passenger door.
In this case, never fit a rearward-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger seat
(Y page 51).
Observe the following information under "Rear-
ward-facing child restraint system"
(Y page 51) and "Forward-facing child
restraint system" (Y page 51) as well as infor-
mation on the suitable positioning of the child
restraint system (Y page 51).
Rearward-facing child restraint system If you secure a child in a rearward-facing child
restraint system on the front-passenger seat,
always make sure that the front-passenger front airbag is disabled. Only if the PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF indicator lamp is lit continuously
(Y page 35) is the front-passenger front airbag
disabled.
Always observe the information on suitable
positioning of the child restraint system
(Y page 51) in addition to the child restraint
system manufacturer's installation and operat-
ing instructions. Forward-facing child restraint system If you secure a child in a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front-passenger seat,
always move the front-passenger seat as far
back as possible. The entire base of the child
restraint system must always rest on the seat
cushion of the front-passenger seat. The back-
rest of the child restraint system must, as far as
possible, lie flat against the backrest of the
front-passenger seat. The child restraint system must not touch the roof or be put under strain bythe head restraint. Adjust the angle of the seat
backrest and the head restraint position accord-
ingly. Always make sure that the shoulder belt
strap is correctly routed from the front-
passenger seat belt loop to the shoulder belt
guide on the child restraint system. The shoul-
der belt strap must be routed forwards and
downwards from the front-passenger seat belt
loop.
Always observe the information on suitable
positioning of the child restraint system
(Y page 51) in addition to the child restraint
system manufacturer's installation and operat-
ing instructions. Suitable positioning of the child
restraint system
Introduction Only child restraint systems that are approved in
accordance with ECE standard ECE R44 are per-
mitted for use in the vehicle.
"Universal" category child restraint systems can
be recognised by their orange approval label and the text "Universal". Example: approval label on the child restraint sys-
tem Children in the vehicle
51Safety Z

"Universal" category child restraint systems can
be used on seats indicated with U or UF in
accordance with the "Suitability of the front-
passenger seat for attaching belt-secured child
restraint systems" table.
Semi-universal child restraint systems are indi-
cated by the text "semi-universal" on the
approval label. These can be used if the vehicle and the seat are listed in the child restraint sys-
tem manufacturer's vehicle model list. For more
information, contact the child restraint system
manufacturer or visit their website.
If you install a child restraint system on the
front-passenger seat:
X Always pay attention to the instructions under
"Child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat" (Y page 50).
There you will find instructions on how to cor-
rectly route the shoulder belt strap from the front-passenger seat belt guide to the shoul-
der belt guide on the child restraint system
(Y page 51).
X Move the front-passenger seat as far back as
possible and into the highest position.
X Move the backrest to an almost vertical posi-
tion.
The entire base of the child restraint system
must always rest on the seat cushion of the
front-passenger seat. The backrest of a
forward-facing child restraint system must, asfar as possible, rest flat against the backrest
of the front-passenger seat. The child
restraint system must not touch the roof.
Adjust the backrest angle accordingly. Also
observe the child restraint system manufac-
turer's installation instructions.

Important safety notes TIREFIT is a tyre sealant.
You can use TIREFIT to seal punctures of up to
4 mm, particularly those in the tyre tread. You
can use TIREFIT at outside temperatures down
to Ò20 †. G
WARNING
In the following situations, the tyre sealant is
unable to provide sufficient breakdown assis- tance, as it is unable to seal the tyre properly:
R there are cuts or punctures in the tyre
larger than those mentioned above.
R the wheel rim is damaged.
R you have driven at very low tyre pressures
or on a flat tyre.
There is a risk of an accident.
Do not drive any further. Contact a qualified
specialist workshop. G
WARNING
The tyre sealant is harmful and causes irrita-
tion. It must not come into contact with your
skin, eyes or clothing or be swallowed. Do not inhale TIREFIT fumes. Keep tyre sealant away
from children. There is a risk of injury.
If you come into contact with the tyre sealant,
observe the following:
R Rinse off the tyre sealant from your skin
immediately with water.
R If the tyre sealant comes into contact with
your eyes, immediately rinse them thor-
oughly with clean water.
R If tyre sealant is swallowed, immediately
rinse your mouth out thoroughly and drink
plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting,
and seek medical attention immediately.
R Immediately change out of clothing which
has come into contact with tyre sealant.
R If an allergic reaction occurs, seek medical
attention immediately.
! Do not operate the tyre inflation compres-
sor for longer than ten minutes at a time with- out a break. It may otherwise overheat.
The tyre inflation compressor can be oper-
ated again once it has cooled down.
