width of the belt to manage impact
forces. The twisted belt against your
body could cause injuries.
Warning!
The seat belts for the front and rear outer
seats are equipped with emergency ten-
sioning devices and belt force limiters.
An emergency tensioning device (ETD) that
was activated must be replaced.

Pregnant women should also use a
lap-shoulder belt. The lap belt portion
should be positioned as low as possible
on the hips to avoid any possible pres-
sure on the abdomen.
When scrapping the emergency tensioning
device, our safety instructions must be fol-
lowed. These are available at your autho-
rized Mercedes-Benz Center.
The ETD is designed to activate in the fol-
lowing cases when the seat belts are fas-
tened:
Never place your feet on the instrument
panel or on the seat. Always keep both
feet on the floor in front of the seat.
ț
in frontal or rear-end impacts
exceeding a preset severity level
!

if the restraint systems are operational
and functioning correctly.
Do not place objects heavier than
20 lbs (9 kg) on the front passenger
seat. This could cause the front or side
impact airbag on the front passenger
side to deploy in a crash which exceeds
the system's deployment threshold.
See 1 indicator lamp (୴ page 56).
In an impact, emergency tensioning devic-
es remove slack from the belts in such a
way that the seat belts fit more snugly
against the body. Belt force limiters reduce
the force exerted by the seat belts on oc-
cupants during a crash.
