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 variations are
possible. Note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all of the described functions.
This also applies to systems and functions rel-
evant to safety.
Read the information on qualified specialist
workshops (Y page
32).Occupant safety
Restraint system introduction
The restraint system can reduce the risk of
vehicle occupants coming into contact with
parts of the vehicle's interior in the event of an
accident. In the event of an accident, the
restraint system can also reduce the forces to
which the vehicle occupants are subjected.
The restraint system includes the following
components:
R Seat belt system
R Air bags
R Child restraint system
R Child seat securing system
The various components of the restraint sys-
tem work complementary to one another. They
can only perform their intended protective
function if all vehicle occupants:
R have correctly fastened their seat belt
( Y page

49)
R have correctly adjusted their seat and head
restraint ( Y page 87)
As the driver, you must also ensure that the
driver's seat is in the correct position in rela-
tion to the pedals and the steering wheel.
Depending on your vehicle's equipment, you
can also adjust the steering wheel. Observe
the information relating to the correct driver's
seat position (Y page 87).
Additionally, you must ensure that an air bag
can deploy freely ( Y page 51).
The air bag is supplementary to a correctly fas-
tened seat belt. As an additional safety device,
the air bag increases the level of protection for
vehicle occupants in the event of an accident.
If the protection provided by the seat belt is sufficient, the air bags do not deploy. Further-
more, in the event of an accident, only air bags
which provide greater protection in the given
accident situation deploy. However, seat belts
and air bags generally do not protect against
objects penetrating the vehicle from the out-
side.
Information on how the restraint system oper-
ates can be found in "Deployment of the Emer-
gency Tensioning Devices and air bags"
( Y page

58).
See "Children in the vehicle" for information
on infants and children traveling with you in
the vehicle restraint systems for infants and
children ( Y page 60). Important safety notes

WARNING
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 for a person with physical dis-
abilities, contact a Mercedes-Benz Commercial
Van Centerfor details. USA only: contact our
Mercedes-Benz Customer Assistance Center
for details at 1‑877 ‑762‑8267. 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, malfunctions can be detected in
good time.
The 6 restraint system warning lamp on
the instrument cluster lights up when the igni-
tion is switched on. It goes out no later than a
few seconds after the vehicle is started. The
restraint system is operational. 46
