tions.
Event datar ecorders
This vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder (EDR). This vehicle is equipped with an
event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of
an EDRistor ecord, in certain crash or near
crash-lik esituations, such as an air bag deploy-
ment or hittin garoad obstacle, data that will
assist in understanding how avehicle's systems
performed. The ED Risdesigned to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems
for ashort period of time, typically 30 seconds
or less. The ED
Rinthis vehicle is designed to record
such data as:
RHow various systems in your vehicle were
operating
RWhether or not the driver and passenger
safety belts were buckled/fastened
RHow far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal and
RHow fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide abetter under-
standin gofthe circumstances in which acci-
dents and injuries occur. NOTE: ED Rdata are
recorded by your vehicle only if anon-trivial
crash situation occurs; no data is recorded by
the ED Runder normal driving conditions and no
personal data (e.g. name, gender, age and acci-
dent location) are recorded. However, other par- ties, such as law enforcement could combine
ED Rd ata with the type of personally identifying
data routinely acquired during acrash investi-
gation.
Access to the vehicle and/or the ED Risneeded
to read data that is recorded by the EDR, and
special equipment is required. In addition to the
vehicle manufacturer, other parties that have
the special equipment, such as law enforce-
ment,c an read the information by accessing the
vehicle or the EDR.
ED Rd ata may be used in civil and criminal mat-
ters as atool in accident reconstruction, acci-
dent claims and vehicle safety. Sincet he Crash
Data Retrieval CDR tool that is used to extract
data from the ED Riscommercially available,
Mercedes-Benz USA,L LC ("MBUSA") expressly
disclaims any and all liability arising from the
extraction of this information by unauthorized

without the consen tofthevehicle owners or, if
t

he vehicle is leased, without the consen tofthe
lessee. Exceptions to this representation
include responses to subpoenas by law enforce- ment;byf ederal, state or local government; in
connection with or arising out of litigation involv-
ing MBUSA or its subsidiaries and affiliates; or,
as required by law.
Warning: The ED Risacomponent of the
Restraint System Module. Tampering with, alter-
ing, modifying or removing the ED Rcomponent
may result in amalfunction of the Restraint Sys-

Occupant safety
Introduction to the restraint system
The restraint system can reduce the risk of vehi- cle occupants coming into contact with parts of
the vehicle's interior in the event of an accident.
The restraint system can also reduce the forces to which vehicle occupants are subjected during
an accident.
The restraint system comprises:
Rseat belt system
Rair bags
The components of the restraint system work in
conjunction with each other. They can only
deploy their protective function if, at all times, all vehicle occupants:
Rhave fastened their seat belts correctly
(Ypage 40)
Rhave adjusted their seat and head restraint
properly (Ypage 82).
As the driver, you also have to make sure that
the steering wheel is adjusted correctly.
Observe the information relating to the correct
driver's seat position (
Ypage 82). You also have to make sure that an air bag can
inflate properly if deploye
d(
Ypage 42).
An air bag supplements acorrectly worn seat
belt. As an additional safety device, the air bag
increases the level of protection for vehicle
occupants in the event of an accident. For exam-
ple, if, in the event of an accident, the protection
offered by the seat belt is sufficient, the air bags
are not deployed. When an accident occurs, only
the air bags that increase protection in that par- ticular accident situation are deployed. How-
ever, seat belts and air bags generally do not
protect against object spenetrating the vehicle
from the outside.
Information on restraint system operation can
be found under "Triggering of the Emergency
Tensioning Devices and air bags" (
Ypage 48).
For information on children traveling with you in
the vehicle and on child restraint systems, see
"Children in the vehicle" (
Ypage 51).
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Modifications to the restraint system may
cause it to no longer work as intended. The
restraint system may then not perform its
intended protective function and may fail in an
accident or trigger unexpectedly, for example.
This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Never modify parts of the restraint system.
Never tamper with the wiring, the electronic
components or their software.
If it is necessary to modify components of the
restraint system to accommodate aperson
with disabilities, contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center for details. USA only:
for further information contact our Customer
AssistanceC enter at 1-800-FOR-MERCedes
(1‑800‑36 7‑6372).
Restraint system warning lamp
The functions of the restraint system are
checked after the ignition is switched on and at
regular intervals while the engine is running.
Therefore, malfunction scan be detected in
good time.
Occupant safety37
Safety
Z

The6 restraint system warning lamp in the
instrument cluster lights up when the ignition is
switched on. It goes out no later than afew sec-
onds after the vehicle is started. The compo-
nentsoft he restraint system are in operational
readiness.
Am alfunction has occurred if the 6restraint
system warning lamp:
Rdoes not light up after the ignition is switched
on
Rdoes not go out after afew seconds with the
engine running
Rlights up again while the engine is running
GWARNING
If the restraint system is malfunctioning,
restraint system components may be trig-
gered unintentionally or may not deploy as
intended during an accident .This can affect
for example the Emergency Tensioning
Device or the air bag. This poses an increased
risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Have the restraint system checked and
repaired in aqualified specialist workshop as
soon as possible.
PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator lamp
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp :and
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp ;are
part of the Occupant Classification System
(OCS).
The indicator lamps display the status of the
front-passenger front air bag.
RPASSENGER AIR BAG ON lights up: the front-
passenger front air bag is enabled. If, in the
event of an accident ,all deployment criteria are met, the front-passenger front air bag is
deployed.
RPASSENGER AIR BAG OFF lights up: the front-
passenger front air bag is deactivated. It will
then not be deployed in the event of an acci-
dent.
Dependin gonthe person in the front-passenger
seat, the front-passenger front air bag must
either be deactivated or enabled; see the fol-
lowing points. You must make sure of this both
before and during ajourney.
RChildren in achild restraint system:
whether the front-passenger front air bag is
enabled or deactivated depends on the instal-
led child restraint system, and the age and
size of the child. Therefore, be sure to observe
the notes on the "Occupant Classification
System (OCS)" (
Ypage 44) and on "Chil-
dren in the vehicle" (Ypage 51). There you
will also find instructions on rearward and
forward-facing child restraint systems on the
front-passenger seat.
RAll other persons: depending on the classi-
fication of the person in the front-passenger
seat, the front-passenger front air bag is ena-
bled or deactivated (
Ypage 44). Be sure to
observe the notes on "Seat
belts“ (
Ypage 38) and "Air bags"
(Ypage 42). There you can also find infor-
mation on the corrects eat position.
Seat belts
Introduction
Seat belts are the most effective means of
restrictingt he movementofv ehicle occupants
in the event of an accident or the vehicle rolling
over. This reduces the risk of vehicle occupants
coming into contact with parts of the vehicle
interior or being ejected from the vehicle. Fur-
thermore, the seat belt helps to keep the vehicle
occupant in the best position in relation to the
air bag.
The seat belt system comprises:
RSeat belts
REmergency Tensionin gDevices and seat belt
force limiters
If the seat belt is pulled by the belt loop quickly
or with ajerk ym ovement, the belt retractor
locks. The belt strap cannot be extracted any
further.
38Occupant safety
Safety

The Emergency TensioningDevice tightensthe
seat belt in an accident ,pulling the belt close
against the body. However it does not pull the
vehicle occupant back in the direction of the
backrest.
The Emergency TensioningD evice does not cor-
rect an incorrect seat position or the routing of
an incorrectly fastened seat belt.
When triggered, aseat belt force limiter helps to
reduce the force exerted by the seat belt on the
vehicle occupant.
The seat belt force limiters are synchronized
with the front air bags which absorb part of the deceleration force. This can reduce the force
exerted on the vehicle occupantsd uring an acci-
dent.
!If the front-passenger seat is unoccupied,
do not insert the belt tongue into the buckle of
the front-passenger seat. This may otherwise lead to the triggerin gofthe Emergency Ten-
sioning Device in the event of an accident,
which will then need to be replaced.
Important safety notes
The use of seat belts and child restraint systems
is required by law in:
Rall 50 states
Rthe U.S. territories
Rthe District of Columbia
Rall Canadian provinces
Even where this is not required by law, all vehicle
occupantss hould correctly fasten their seat
belts before starting the journey.
GWARNING
If the seat belt is not worn correctly, it cannot
perform its intended protective function. An
incorrectly fastened seat belt can also cause
injuries, for example, in the event of an acci-
dent or when braking or changing direction
abruptly. This poses an increased risk of injury
or even fatal injury.
Always ensure that all vehicle occupantsh ave
their seat belts fastened correctly and are sit-
ting properly.
GWARNING
The seat belt does not offer the intended level of protection if you have not moved the back-
rest to an almost vertical position. When brak-
ing or in the event of an accident ,you could
slide underneath the seat belt and sustain
abdomen or neck injuries, for example. This
poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal
injury.
Adjust the seat properly before beginning
your journey. Always ensure that the backrest
is in an almost vertical position and that the
shoulder section of your seat belt is routed
across the center of your shoulder.
GWARNING
Persons less than 5ft(1.50 m) tall cannot
wear the seat belt correctly without an addi-
tional and suitable restraint system. If the
seat belt is not worn correctly, it cannot per-
form its intended protective function. An
incorrectly fastened seat belt can also cause
injuries, for example, in the event of an acci-
dent or when braking or changing direction
abruptly. This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
For this reason, alwayss ecure persons under
5ft( 1.50 m) tall in suitable additional restraint
systems.
If ac hild younger than twelve years old and
under 5ft(1.50 m) in height is traveling in the
vehicle:
Ralwayss ecure the child in achild restraint
system suitable for this Mercedes-Benz vehi-
cle. The child restraint system must be appro-
priate to the age, weight and size of the child
Ralwayso bserve the instructions and safety
notes on "Children in the vehicle"
(
Ypage 51) in addition to the child restraint
system manufacturer's installation and oper-
ating instructions
Rbe sure to observe the instructions and safety
notes on the "Occupant classification system
(OCS)" (
Ypage 44)
