which exceed preset deployment
thresholds and in certain rollovers (win-
dow curtain air bags and ETD).
Warning!
Damaged seat belts or seat belts that were
highly stressed in an accident must be re-
placed and their anchoring points must also
be checked.
USE SEAT BELTS PROPERLY
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 seat 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.
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,
driver-side knee bag, passenger front air
bag, side impact air bags, window cur-
tain air bags for side windows), ETD
(seat belt emergency tensioning device
with seat belt force limiters), and front
seat knee bolsters. The system is de-
signed to enhance the protection of-
fered to properly belted occupants in
certain frontal (front air bags, driver-side
knee bag and ETD with seat belt force
limiters) and side (side impact and win-
dow curtain air bags) impacts
Do not make any modifications to the seat
belts. This can lead to unintended activation
of the ETDs or to failure.
ț
ț
Never wear seat belts over rigid or
breakable objects in or on your clothing,
such as eyeglasses, pens, SmartKeys,
etc., as these might cause injuries.
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.
Have all work carried out only by qualified
technicians. Contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
Position the lap belt as low as possible
on your hips and not across the abdo-
men. If the seat belt is positioned across
your abdomen, it could cause serious in-
juries in a crash.
ț
Never use a seat belt for more than one
person at time. Do not fasten a seat belt
around a person and another person or
other objects.
