Emergency tensioning device (ETD),
seat belt force limiter
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.

Each seat belt should never be used for
more than one person at a time. Do not
fasten a seat belt around a person and
another person or other objects.
The seat belts for the front and rear outer
seats are equipped with emergency ten-
sioning devices and belt force limiters.
Belts should not be worn twisted. In a
crash, you wouldn’t have the full width
of the belt to manage impact forces. The
twisted belt against your body could
cause injuries.
The ETD is designed to activate in the fol-
lowing cases when the seat belts are fas-
tened:
Warning!

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.

In frontal or rear-end impacts exceed-
ing a preset severity level
An emergency tensioning device (ETD) that
was activated must be replaced.

If the ignition is switched on
When scrapping the emergency tensioning
device, our safety instructions must be fol-
lowed. These are available at your autho-
rized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Never place your feet on the instrument
panel or on the seat. Always keep both
feet on the floor in front of the seat.
