Occupant safety
owner that the vehicle is equipped with SRS
and refer them to the applicable section in the
Operator’s Manual.
RDo not make any modification that could
change the effectiveness of the seat
belts.
RAir bag system components will be hot
after an air bag has inflated. Do not touch
them.
RDo not bleach or dye seat belts as this
may severely weaken them. In a crash
they may not be able to provide adequate
protection.
RNever place your feet on the instrument
panel, dashboard, or on the seat. Always
keep both feet on the floor in front of the

Observe Safety notes, see
page 47.
RNo 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,
seat covers, badges, etc. over the
steering wheel hub, front passenger front
air bag cover, outboard sides of the seat
backrests, door trim panels, or door
frame trims, and installation of additional
electrical/electronic equipment on or
near SRS components and wiring. Keep
area between air bags and occupants
free of objects (e.g. packages, purses,
umbrellas, etc.).
RIn addition, improper repair work on the
SRS creates a risk of rendering the SRS
inoperative or causing unintended air bag
deployment. Work on the SRS must
therefore only be performed by qualified
technicians. Contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
RFor your protection and the protection of
others, when scrapping the air bag unit
or ETD, our safety instructions must be
followed. These instructions are available
from any authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
1 Driver front air bag
2 Front passenger front air bag
The front air bags are designed to provide
increased protection for the driver and front
passenger against the risk of injuries to the
head and thorax.
RGiven the considerable deployment
speed, required inflation volume, and the
material of the air bags, there is the
possibility of abrasions or other,
potentially more serious injuries
resulting from air bag deployment.
RDo not hang items such as coat hangers
from the coat hooks or handles over the
door. These items may be thrown around
in the vehicle and cause head and other
injuries when the window curtain air bag
is deployed.
If you sell your vehicle, we strongly
recommend that you inform the subsequent
