em in an accident How
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
impact
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

Do not touch the airbag parts. #
Have a depl oyed airbag replaced at a
qu ali/ed specialist workshop as soon as
possible. Mercedes-Benz
recommends that you ha vethe

aTer an accident. Take this into account, particu-
lar lyif a seat belt tensioner is triggered or an air-
bag deplo yed.
If th e seat belt tensioners are triggered or an air-
bag is deplo yed, you will hear a bang, and a small
amount of powder may also be released:
R The bang will not generally a.ect your hearing.
R Ingeneral, the powder released is not hazard-
ous tohealth but may cause short- term
breathing di1culties topersons su.ering from
asthma or other pulmonary conditions. Pr
