Occupant safety
In this section you will learn the most im-
portant facts about the restraint systems
of the vehicle.
The 1 indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up for about four seconds
when you turn the key in the steering lock
to position 1 or 2. It goes out when you
start the engine. This shows that the re-
straint systems are operational.
Warning!

In the event that the SRS malfunction indica-
tor lamp lights up during driving or does not
come on at all, the SRS may not be opera-
tional. For your safety, we strongly recom-
mend that you visit an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center immediately to have
the system checked; otherwise the SRS may
not be activated when needed in an acci-
dent, which could result in serious or fatal
injury, or it might deploy unexpectedly and
unnecessarily which could also result in inju-
ry.

If the lamp does not come on at all or if it
fails to extinguish after approximately four
seconds or if it comes on thereafter, a mal-
function in the system has been detected.

As independent systems their protective
effects work in conjunction with each oth-
er.
Improper work on the restraint systems, in-
cluding incorrect installation and removal,
can lead to possible injury through an unin-
tended activation of the SRS.

traveling with you in the vehicle and re-
straint systems for infants and chil-
dren, see “Children in the vehicle”
In addition, through improper work there is
a risk of rendering the SRS inoperative or
causing unintended airbag deployment.
Work on the SRS must therefore only be per-
formed by qualified technicians. Contact
your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
