Safety guidelines for the seat belt,
emergency tensioning retractor and airbag
Warning!
Accident research shows that the safest place for
children in an automobile is in the rear seat.
Should you choose to place a child 12 years old or
under in the front passenger seat of your vehicle,
Warning!
•
Damaged seat belts or belts that were highly
stressed in an accident must be replaced and
their anchoring points must also be checked.
Use only belts installed or supplied by an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
you must properly use a BabySmart child
TM
restraint which will turn off the passenger side
front airbag. BabySmart will not, however, turn
TM
off the passenger’s side impact airbag.
It should be noted however that there is a
possibility for a side airbag related injury if
occupants, especially children, are not properly
seated or restrained when next to a side airbag
which needs to deploy rapidly in a side impact in
order to do its job.
•
•
Do not pass belts over sharp edges.
Do not make any modification that could
change the effectiveness of the belts.
• Airbags and ETR’s are designed to function on
a one-time-only basis. An airbag or emergency
tensioning retractor (ETR) that was activated
must be replaced.
To help avoid the possibility of injury, please follow
these guidelines: (1) occupants, especially
children, should never place their bodies or lean
their heads in the area of the door where the side
airbag inflates. This could result in serious
injuries or death should the side airbag be
activated; (2) always sit upright, properly use the
seat belts and use an appropriately sized infant or
child restraint system for all children 12 years old
or under; and (3) always wear seat belts properly.
