Proper use
Observe the following information when oper-
ating your vehicle:
Rthe safety notes in these operating instruc-
tions
Rthe technical data in these Operating Instruc-
tions
Rtraffic laws and regulations
Rmotor vehicle laws and safety standards
There are various warning stickers affixed to the
vehicle. If you remove warning stickers, you and
others may fail to recognize the dangers. Leave
the warning stickers in their original position.
GWARNING
Modifications to electronic components, their software as well as wiring can impair their
function and/or the function of other net-
worked components. In particular, systems
relevant to safety could also be affected. As a
result, these may no longer function as inten-
ded and/or jeopardize the operating safety of
the vehicle. There is an increased risk of an
accident and injury.
Never tamper with the wiring as well as elec-
tronic components or their software. You
should have all work to electrical and elec-
tronic equipment carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop.
The general operating permit for your vehicle
could be rendered invalid if you carry out mod-
ifications to electronic components, their soft-
ware as well as wiring.
GWARNING
Gases and fluids from substances that con-
stitute a health hazard or react aggressively
can escape even from securely closed con-
tainers. When transporting such substances
in the vehicle interior, your ability to concen-
trate or your health could be affected during
the journey. Malfunctions, short circuits or
electrical component system failures may
also result. There is a risk of an accident and
fire.
Do not store or transport any substances in
the vehicle interior which are hazardous to
health or react aggressively.
These instructions must also be observed for
vehicles where the cargo compartment is not
fully separated from the driver's cab.
Partition with door/window: always keep the
door/window in the partition closed during
transport.
Examples of substances that are hazardous to
health and/or react aggressively:
RSolvents
RFuel
ROil and grease
RCleaning agents
RAcids
Protection of the environment
Economic and environmentally aware
driving
HEnvironmental note
Daimler's declared policy is one of compre-
hensive environmental protection.
The objectives are for the natural resources
that form the basis of our existence on this
planet to be used sparingly and in a manner
that takes the requirements of both nature
and humanity into account.
You too can help to protect the environment
by operating your vehicle in an environmen-
tally responsible manner.
Fuel consumption and the rate of engine,
transmission, brake and tire wear are affected
by these factors:
Roperating conditions of your vehicle
Ryour personal driving style
You can influence both factors. You should
bear the following in mind:

must be such that the vehicle can be driven
safely.
RKeep hands on the outside of the steering
wheel rim. This allows the air bag to deploy
fully.
RAlways sit with your back against the seat
backrest when driving. Do not lean forward,
on the door or against the side window. Oth-
erwise, you are in the air bag deployment
area.
RAlways keep your feet in the footwell in front
of the seat. Do not, for example, place your
feet on the dashboard. Otherwise, your feet
are in the air bag deployment area.
RSuitable restraint systems must always be
used for persons under 5 ft (1.50m)in height.
The seat belt cannot be worn correctly by
persons who do not reach this height.
If children are also traveling in the vehicle,
please take note of the following points.
RAlways secure children younger than twelve
years of age and under 5 ft (1.50 m) tall in
suitable child restraint systems.
RChild restraint systems should preferably be
installed on the rear seats.
RIf you secure a child in a rearward-facing child
restraint system, always do so on a suitable
rear seat. The front-passenger front air bag
cannot be deactivated.
RBe sure to observe the instructions and safety
notes on "Children in the vehicle"
(
Ypage 47) and "Child restraint system on
the front-passenger seat" (Ypage 51) in
addition to the child restraint system manu-
facturer's installation instructions.
Objects in the passenger compartment
could prevent an air bag from functioning
properly. To prevent risks due to the required
air bag speed after deployment, ensure the fol-
lowing before starting the journey:
Rthere are no persons, animals or objects
between the vehicle occupants and an air
bag.
Rthere are no objects between the seat, door
and B-pillar.
Rno hard objects, e.g. coat hangers, hang on
the grab handles or coat hooks.
Rno accessories, such as cup holders, are
attached to the vehicle within the deployment area of an air bag, e.g. to doors or side win-
dows.
Rthere are no heavy, sharp or fragile objects in
the pockets of items of clothing. Such items
should be suitably stowed elsewhere.
GWARNING
If you modify the air bag cover or affix objects
such as stickers to it, the air bag can no longer
function correctly. There is an increased risk
of injury.
Never modify an air bag cover or affix objects
to it.
GWARNING
Sensors to control the air bags are located in
the doors. Modifications or work not per-
formed correctly to the doors or door panel-
ing, as well as damaged doors, can lead to the
function of the sensors being impaired. The air
bags might therefore not function properly
anymore. Consequently, the air bags cannot
protect vehicle occupants as they are
designed to do. There is an increased risk of
injury.
Never modify the doors or parts of the doors.
Always have work on the doors or door pan-
eling carried out at a qualified specialist work-
shop.
Front air bags
Driver's air bag :deploys in front of the steer-
ing wheel. Front-passenger air bag ;deploys in
front of and above the glove box and the center
console.
44Occupant safety
Safety

When deployed, the front air bags offer addi-
tional head and thorax protection on the front
seats.
Side impact air bags
Depending on the vehicle's equipment, some
front seats are equipped with a side impact air
bag; see the AIR BAG label on the outer side of
the seat backrest.
GWARNING
Unsuitable seat covers may obstruct or even
prevent deployment of the air bags integrated
into the seats. The air bags may then fail to
protect the vehicle occupants as intended.
There is an increased risk of injury, possibly
even fatal.
Only use seat cushions that are approved for
your vehicle by the distributor named on the
inside cover page.
Side impact air bags :deploy next to the outer
bolster of the seat backrest.
When deployed, the side impact air bag offers
additional thorax protection. However, it does
not protect the:
Rhead
Rneck
Rarms
In the event of a side impact, the side impact air
bag is deployed on the side on which the impact
occurs.
Window curtain air bags
Window curtain air bags :are installed in the
side of the roof frame above the front doors.
When deployed, the window curtain air bag
offers additional head protection. However, it
does not protect the chest or arms.
In the event of a side impact, the window curtain
air bag is deployed on the side on which the
impact occurs.
If the system determines that it can offer addi-
tional protection to that provided by the seat
belt, a window curtain air bag may be deployed
in other accident situations (
Ypage 45).
Deployment of Emergency Tensioning
Devices and air bags
Important safety notes
GWARNING
The air bag parts are hot after an air bag has
been deployed. There is a risk of injury.
Do not touch the air bag parts. Have a
deployed air bag replaced at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop as soon as possible.
GWARNING
A deployed air bag no longer offers any pro-
tection and cannot provide the intended pro-
tection in an accident. There is an increased
risk of injury.
Have the vehicle towed to a qualified special-
ist workshop in order to have a deployed air
bag replaced.
It is important for your safety and that of any
passengers to have deployed air bags replaced
