Warning!
G
If an infant or child is traveling with you in
the vehicle:
The seat belts for the front and rear outer
seats are equipped with emergency
tensioning devices and belt force limiters.
An emergency tensioning device (ETD) that
was activated must be replaced.
ț
Secure the child using an infant or child
restraint appropriate to the age and
size of the child and recommended for
use by Mercedes-Benz.
When scrapping the emergency tensioning
device, our safety instructions must be
followed. These are available at your
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
The ETD is designed to activate in the
following cases when the seat belts are
fastened:
ț
Ensure that the infant or child is prop-
erly secured by a belt at all times while
the vehicle is in motion.
ț
in frontal or rear-end impacts
exceeding a preset severity level.
!
ț
if the restraint systems are operational
and functioning correctly.
See 1 indicator lamp (୴ page 54).
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.
Infant and child restraint seats and infor-
mation on choosing an appropriate re-
straint system can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Center.
In an impact, emergency tensioning
devices 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 occupants during a crash.
Infant and child restraint systems
Only use a BabySmartTM1
compatible child
restraint for the front passenger seat in
this vehicle.
