Occupant safety
Emergency Tensioning Device (ETD),
seat belt force limiter
When activated, emergency tensioning
devices remove slack from the seat belts in
such a way that the seat belts fit more
snugly against the body. Seat belt force
limiters reduce the force exerted by the
seat belts on occupants during a crash.
Children in the vehicle
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 seat belt force
limiters.
̈ Secure the child using an infant or child
restraint appropriate to the age and
size of the child.
The ETD is designed to activate in the
following cases:
G
Warning!
̈ Make sure the infant or child is
properly secured at all times while the
vehicle is in motion.
ț
in frontal or rear-end impacts
exceeding the system deployment
threshold
An Emergency Tensioning Device (ETD) that
was activated must be replaced.
When disposing of emergency tensioning
device, our safety instructions must be
followed. These are available at any autho-
rized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center.

if the restraint systems are operational
and functioning correctly, see

indicator lamp (୴ page 68)
i The ETDs for the front seats will only acti-
vate if the respective front seat belt is fastened
(latch plate properly inserted into buckle).
! Do not place objects heavier than 20 lbs
(9 kg) on the front passenger seat. This could
cause the passenger front air bag and, with the
seat belt fastened to secure the object, the ETD
on the front passenger side to deploy in a crash
which exceeds the system’s deployment thresh-
old.
The ETDs for the rear outer seats will activate
with or without the respective seat belt fastened.
