Warning!

ț
Never wear the shoulder belt under your
arm, against your neck or off your shoul-
der. In a frontal crash, your body would
move too far forward. That would in-
crease the chance of head and neck in-
juries. The belt would also apply too
much force to the ribs or abdomen,
which could severely injure internal or-
gans such as your liver or spleen.
Warning!
Damaged seat belts or belts that were highly
stressed in an accident must be replaced
and their anchoring points must also be
checked.
USE SEAT BELTS PROPERLY
ț
Seat belts can only work when used
properly. Never wear seat belts in any
other way than as described in this sec-
tion, as that could result in serious inju-
ries in case of an accident.
Only use seat belts which have been
approved by Mercedes-Benz.
ț
Each occupant should wear their seat
belt at all times, because seat belts help
reduce the likelihood of and potential
severity of injuries in accidents, includ-
ing rollovers. The integrated restraint
system includes SRS (driver air bag, pas-
senger front air bag, head-thorax air
bags and rear side impact air bags*),
ETD (seat belt emergency tensioning de-
vice), and front seat knee bolsters. The
system is designed to enhance the pro-
tection offered to properly belted occu-
pants in certain frontal (front air bags
and ETD) and side (head-thorax air bags
and rear side impact air bags* and ETD)
impacts which exceed preset deploy-
ment thresholds.

Never wear belts over rigid or breakable
objects in or on your clothing, such as
eyeglasses, pens, keys etc., as these
might cause injuries.
Do not make any modifications to the seat
belts. This can lead to unintended activation
of the ETDs or to failure.
Do not bleach or dye seat belts as this may
severely weaken them. In a crash they may
not be able to provide adequate protection.
Position the lap belt as low as possible
on your hips and not across the abdo-
men. If the belt is positioned across your
abdomen, it could cause serious injuries
in a crash.
Have all work carried out only by qualified
technicians. Contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
ț
Never use a seat belt for more than one
person at a time. Do not fasten a seat
belt around a person and another per-
son or other objects.
