If an infant or child is traveling with you in
the vehicle:
The seat belts for the front seats are
equipped with emergency tensioning de-
vices and belt force limiters. The outboard
passenger seats belts (except in the third
row seats*) are equipped with emergency
tensioning devices.
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 disposing of the emergency tension-
ing device, our safety instructions must be
followed. These are available at your autho-
rized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center.
The ETD is designed to activate only when
the seat belt is fastened and in the follow-
ing cases:
ț
Ensure that the infant or child is prop-
erly secured by a belt at all times while
the vehicle is in motion.
!
Do not place objects heavier than
in frontal or rear-end impacts exceed-
ing a preset severity level
Infant and child restraint seats and infor-
mation on choosing an appropriate re-
straint system can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center.
ț
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.

if the restraint systems are operational
and functioning correctly, see

indicator lamp (୴ page 58)
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.
