The restraint system can help pr eventtheve hicle
occupants from coming into contact with parts of
th eve hicle interior in theev ent of an accident. In
th eev ent of an accident, there straint system can
also reduce thefo rc es towhich theve hicle occu-
pants are subjected.
A seat belt can only pr ovide the best le vel of pro-
te ction if it is worncor rectl y.Depending on the
de tected accident situation, seat belt tensioners
and/or airbags supplement the pr otection o.ered
by a cor rectly wornseat belt. Seat belt tensioners
and/or airbags are not deplo yed in every acci-
dent. In order
forth ere straint system toprov ide the
intended le vel of pr otection, each vehicle occu-
pant must obser vethefo llowing information:
R Fasten seat belts co rrectl y.
R Sit in an almost up right seat position with their
back against the seat backrest.
R Sit with their feet resting on the 0oor, if possi-
ble.
R Always secure persons under 1.50 m tall in an
additional restraint system suitable for
Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
Ho wever,no system available today can com-
ple tely eliminate injuries and fatalities in every
accident situation. In particular, the seat belt and
airbag generally do not pr otect against objects
penetrating theve hicle from the outside. It is also
not possible tocomple tely rule out therisk of

there straint system works is de term ined by
th e se verity of the impact de tected and the type
of accident anticipated:
R Frontal impact
R Rear impact
R Side impact
R Rollover
The activation thre sholds forth e components of
th ere straint system are de term ined based on the
ev aluation of the sensor values measured at vari-
ous points in theve hicle. This process is pre-e mp-
tive in nature. The triggering/deployment of the
components of there straint system must take
place in good time at the start of the collision.
Fa ctors which can only be seen and measured
aTer a collision has occur red do not play a deci-
sive role in the deployment of an airbag. Nor do
th ey prov ide an indication of airbag deployment.
The vehicle may be deformed signi/cantly without
an airbag being depl oyed. This is the case if only
parts which are relatively easily deformed are
a.ec tedand thera te of vehicle deceleration is not high. Con
versely, an airbag may be depl oyed
ev en though theve hicle su.ers only minor defor-
mation. If very rigid vehicle parts such as longitu-
dinal membe rsare hit, this may result in su1-
ciently high le vels of vehicle deceleration.
Depending on the de tected deployment situation,
th e components of there straint system can be
acti vated 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: frontal
impact
R Knee airbag: frontal impact
R Side airbag: side impact
R Window airbag: side impact, rollo ver,frontal

The front passenger airbag can only be depl oyed
in an accident if thePA SSENGER AIR BAG OFF

occupied, make sure, bo thbefore and during the
journe y,that the status of the front passenger air-
bag is cor rect (/ page 50). 40
