Useful information
This Operator's Manual describes all models as
well as standard and optional equipment of your
vehicle that were available at the time of going
to print.Country-specific variation sare possi-
ble. Note that your vehicle may not be equipped
with all of the described functions. This also
applies to system sand function srelevantt o
safety.
Read the information on qualified specialist
workshops (
Ypage 29).
Occupant safety
Restraint system introduction
The restraint system can reduce the risk of vehi- cle occupants comingi ntoc ontact with parts of
the vehicle' sinterior in the eventofana ccident.
Furthermore, the restraint system may also
reduce the forces exerted on the vehicle occu-
pant swhen an acciden toccurs.
The restraint system includes:
RSeat belt system
RAir bags
RChild restraint system
RChild seat securings ystem
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:
Rare correctly wearing their seat belts.
(Ypage 45)
Radjust their seat and head restraint properly
(Ypage 83).
The driver is also responsible for ensurin gthat
the steering wheel has been correctly posi-
tioned. Observet he information relatin gtothe
correct driver'ss eat position (
Ypage 83).
Always ensure the air bag can inflat eproperly if
deployed (
Ypage 48).
An air bag supplement sacorrectly fastened
seat belt. As an additional safetyd evice, the air
bag increases the level of protection for vehicle
occupants in the eventofana ccident. For exam-
ple, if the protection already provided by acor-
rectly fastened seat belt will suffice, the air bags
are not deployed. Furthermore, only the air bags
that would increase the degree of protection
afforded to the vehicle occupants in the evento fan acciden
tare deployed. Seat belts and air
bags generally do not protect against objects
penetratin gthe vehicle from the outside.
Information on restraint system operatio ncan
be found under "TriggeringofE mergencyTen-
sionin gDevices and air bags" (
Ypage 54).
See “Children in the vehicle” for information on children traveling with you as well as vehicle
restraint system s(
Ypage 56).
Important safetyn otes
GWARNING
If the restraint system is modified, it may no
longer work as intended. The restraint system
may then not performi ts intended protective
function by failing in an acciden tortriggering
unexpectedly, for example. There is an
increased risk of injury, possibly even fatal.
Never modify parts of the restraint system .Do
not attempt to modify the wiring as well as
electronic components or their software.
If it is necessary to modify an air bag system to
accommodate aperson with disabilities, con-
tact aMercedes-Benz Commercial Van Cen-
ter for details. USA only: contact our
Mercedes-Benz Customer Assistance Center
at 1-877-762-8267 for details.
