WARNING Risk of inju rydue tomalfunc‐
tions in there stra int sy stem
Components in there stra int sy stem may be
activated unintentionally or not deploy as
intended in an accident. #
Have there stra int sy stem checked and
re paired immediately at a qualified spe‐
cialist workshop. Fu
nction of there stra int sy stem in an acci‐
dent How
there stra int sy stem works depends on the
se verity of the impact de tected and the apparent
type of acciden t:
R Frontal impact
R Rear impact
R Side impact
R Rollover
The activation thre sholds forth e components of
th ere stra int sy stem are de term ined based on
th eev aluation of the sensor values measured at
va rious points in theve hicle. This process is pre-
em ptive in nature. The triggering/deployment of
th e components of there stra int sy stem must
ta ke place in good time at thest art of the colli‐
sion.
Fa ctors whi chcan only be seen and measu red
af te r a collision has occur red cann otplay a deci‐
sive role in airbag deployment. Nor do they pro‐
vide an indication of airbag deployment.
The vehicle may be deformed significantly with‐
out an airbag being deplo yed. This is the case if only parts which are
relatively easily deformed
are af fected and thera te ofvehicle deceleration
is not high. Con versely, an airbag may be
deplo yedev en though theve hicle suf fers only
minor deformation. If very rigid vehicle parts
such as longitudinal members are hit, this may
re sult in suf ficiently high le vels of vehicle decel‐
eration.
Depending on the de tected deployment situa‐
tion, the components of there stra int sy stem can
be activated or deplo yed independently of each
ot her:
R Seat belt tensioner: frontal impact, rear
impact, side impact, rollo ver
R Driver's airbag, front passenger airbag: fron‐

Fo r saf etyre asons, Mercedes-Benz recom‐
mends that you on lyuse a child restra int sys‐
te m which has been tested and appr ovedby

TEDeployment of the seat belt ten‐
sioner and side impact airbag when the
front passenger seat is unoccupied If
th e seat belt tongue is engaged in the seat
belt buckle of the unoccupied front

Both before and during the journe y,
ensure that thest atus of the front
passenger airbag is cor rect. If
th e front passenger seat is occupied, the clas‐
sification of the person or child restra int sy stem
on the front passenger seat take s place af terthe

test of automatic front passenger airbag
shu toff
When the ignition is switched on, a self-test is
per form ed during which the two PASSENGER
AIR BAG ON and OFF indicator lamps light up
simul taneously. The
status of the front passenger airbag is dis‐
pla yed via thePA SSENGER AIR BAG indicator
lamps af terth e self-tes t:
R ON is lit: the front passenger airbag may
deploy during an accident.
The indicator lamp goes out af ter appro x‐
ima tely 60 seconds.
R ON and OF F are not lit: the front passenger
airbag may deploy during an accident.
R OFF is lit: the front passenger airbag is disa‐
bled. It will then not be deplo yed in theev ent
of an accident.
If th ePA SSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp is
off, on lythePA SSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp sho ws thest atus of the front passenger
airbag. The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp may be lit continuously or be off.
If th ePA SSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
