Protection provided by the airbags
Depending on the accident situation, an airbag
may supplement the protection oMered by a cor-
rectly fastened seat belt.
&WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
an incorrect seat position
If you deviate from the correct seat position,
the airbag cannot perform its intended protec- tive function.
Each vehicle occupant must make sure of the
following:
= Fasten seat belts correctly. Pregnant
women must take particular care to ensure
that the lap belt never lies across the
abdomen.
= Adopt the correct seat position and keep
as far away as possible from the airbags.
= Observe the following information.
Always make sure that there are no
objects between the airbag and vehicle
occupant.To avoid the risks resulting from the deployment
of an airbag, each vehicle occupant must observe
the following information in particular:
= Before starting your journey, adjust your seat
correctly; the driver\bs seat and front
passenger seat should be moved as far back as possible.
When doing so, always observe the informa-
tion on the correct driver\bs seat position
( page 103).
= Only hold the steering wheel by the steering
wheel rim. This allows the airbag to be fully
deployed.
= Always lean against the seat backrest when
the vehicle is in motion. Do not lean forwards or against the door or side window. You mayotherwise be in the deployment area of theairbags.
= The occupants must always keep their feet on
the Ooor. Do not put your feet on the cockpit,
for example. Your feet may otherwise be in the
deployment area of the airbag.
= If children are traveling in the vehicle, observe
the additional notes ( page 58).=
Always stow and secure objects correctly.
Objects in the vehicle interior may prevent an air-
bag from functioning correctly. Each vehicle occu-
pant must always make sure of the following in
particular:
= There are no people, animals or objects
between the vehicle occupants and an airbag.
= There are no objects between the seat, door
and door pillar (B-pillar).
= There are no hard objects, e.g. coat hangers,
hanging on the grab handles or coat hooks.
= There are no accessories, such as mobile navi-
gation devices, mobile phones or cup holders, within the deployment area of an airbag, e.g.on the cockpit, on the door, on the side win-
dow or on the side trim.
In addition, no connecting cables, tensioning straps or retaining straps must be routed or
attached to the vehicle within the deployment
area of an airbag. Always comply with the
accessory manufacturer\bs installation instruc-
tions and, in particular, the notes on suitable

objects, e.g. even stickers, to it, the airbag may no longer function as intended.
Never modify the cover of an airbag.Do not attach any objects to the cover.
The installation location of an airbag is identiNed
by the AIRBAG symbol ( page 48).
Objects in the deployment area of an airbag may prevent the airbag from functioning correctly.
&WARNING Risk of injury from objects in
the deployment area of an airbag
Objects in the deployment area of an airbag
can hinder or prevent the correct deployment
of the airbag.
The airbag may then deploy in an uncontrolled manner and may even cause additional inju-
ries to the vehicle occupants by deploying.
This may be the case in particular if the airbag is integrated into the seat.
Always stow and secure objects cor-
rectly.Before commencing your journey, make
sure that no objects are stowed in the
deployment area of an airbag.&WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
the use of unsuitable seat covers
Due to unsuitable seat covers, the airbags
cannot protect vehicle occupants as intended.
In addition, the operation of the automatic
front passenger airbag shutoM could be
restricted.
You should only use seat covers that
have been approved for the correspond-
ing seats by Mercedes-Benz.&WARNING Risk of injury due to malfunc-
tioning sensors in the door
The function of the airbags can be impaired
due to modiNcations or incorrect work per-
formed on the doors or door trim, or if the
doors are damaged.
Never modify the doors or parts of the
doors.Always have work on the doors or door
trim carried out at a qualiNed specialist
workshop.&WARNING Risk of injury due to deployed
