The restra int sy stem can help pr eventtheve hicle
occupants from coming into contact with parts of
th eve hicle interior in theeve nt of an accident. In
th eeve nt of an accident, there stra int sy stem can
also reduce thefo rc es towhich theve hicle occu‐
pants are subjected.
Only a seat belt which is worncor rectly can pro‐
vide the intended le vel of pr otection. Depending
on the de tected accident situation, seat belt ten‐
sioners and/or airbags supplement the pr otec‐
tion of fere dby a cor rectly wornseat belt. Seat
belt tensioners and/or airbags are not depl oyed
in eve ryaccident.
In order forth ere stra int sy stem toprov ide the
intended le vel of pr otection, each vehicle occu‐
pant must obser vethefo llowing information:
R Fasten seat belts cor rectl y.
R Sit in an almost up right seat position with
th eir back against the seat backrest.
R Sit with their feet resting on thefloor, if possi‐
ble.
R Always secure persons under 1.50 m ta ll in

Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
Ho wever,no sy stem available today can com‐
ple tely eliminate injuries and fata lities in every
accident situation. In particular, the seat belt and
airbag general lydo not pr otect against objects
penetrating theve hicle from the outside. It is also
not possible tocomple tely rule out therisk of
injury caused bythe airbag deploying. Limited pr
