Safety guidelines for the seat belt,
emergency tensioning device and air
bag
i Air bags are designed to deploy only in
certain frontal impacts (front air bags) and in
side impacts (window curtain air bags) which
exceed preset thresholds. Only during these
events will they provide their supplemental
protection.
ț
ț
Do not bleach or dye seat belts as this
may severely weaken them. In a crash
they may not be able to provide ade-
quate protection.
Warning!
G
No modifications of any kind may be
made to any components or wiring of
the SRS. This includes changing or
removing any component or part of the
SRS, the installation of additional trim
material, badges, etc. over the steering
wheel hub, front passenger front air bag
cover, outboard sides of the front seat
backrests, door trim panels, or door
frame trims, and installation of
additional electrical/electronic equip-
ment on or near SRS components and
wiring. Keep area between air bags and
occupants free from objects (e.g. pack-
ages, purses, umbrellas, etc.).
The driver and passenger should always wear
their seat belts. Otherwise it is not possible for
the air bags to provide their supplemental pro-
tection.
ț
Damaged seat belts or seat belts that
were highly stressed in an accident
must be replaced and their anchoring
points must also be checked. Use only
seat belts installed or supplied at an au-
thorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck
Center.
In case of other types of impacts and impacts
below air bag deployment thresholds, air bags
will not deploy. The driver and passenger will
then be protected to the extent possible by a
properly fastened seat belt. A properly fastened
seat belt is also needed to provide the best
possible protection in a rollover.
ț
Air bags and Emergency Tensioning
Devices (ETDs) are designed to function
on a one-time-only basis. An air bag or
ETD that has deployed must be
replaced.
We caution you not to rely on the presence of the
air bags in order to avoid wearing your seat belt.
It is important to your safety and that of your pas-
senger that you replace deployed air bags and
repair any malfunctioning air bags to make sure
the vehicle will continue to provide supplemental
crash protection for occupants.
ț
ț
Do not pass seat belts over sharp edges.
They could tear.
ț
ț
Air bag system components will be hot
after an air bag has inflated. Do not
touch.
Do not make any modification that could
change the effectiveness of the seat
belts.
Never place your feet on the instrument
panel, dashboard, or on the seat. Always
keep both feet on the floor in front of the
seat.
