never modify the restraint systems. Do not
tamper with electronic components or their
software.

Occupant safety
Introduction
In this section you will learn the most
important facts about the restraint system
components of the vehicle.
SRS indicator lamp
The SRS system conducts a self-test when
the ignition is switched on and in regular
intervals while the engine is running. This
facilitates detection of system malfunctions.
The restraint systems are:
RSeat belts
RChild restraints
The SRS indicator lamp6 in the
instrument cluster comes on when the
ignition is switched on. It goes out no later
than a few seconds after the engine has been
started.
Additional protection potential is provided by:
RSupplemental Restraint System (SRS) with

-
Air bags
Air bag control unit (with crash sensors)
Emergency Tensioning Device (ETD) for

Classification System (OCS)
Rdoes not come on at all
Rfails to go out after approximately
4
seconds after the engine was started
Although the systems are independent, their
protective functions work in conjunction with
each other.
Rcomes on after the engine was started or
while driving
For your safety, we strongly recommend that
you contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center immediately to have the system
checked. Otherwise the SRS may not be
activated when needed in an accident, which
could result in serious or fatal injury. The SRS
might also deploy unexpectedly and
unnecessarily which could also result in injury
as well.
G Warning!
Modifications to or work improperly
conducted on restraint system components
or their wiring, as well as tampering with
interconnected electronic systems, can lead
to the restraint systems no longer functioning
as intended.
Air bags or Emergency Tensioning Devices
(ETDs), for example, could deploy
inadvertently or fail to deploy in accidents
In addition, improper work on the SRS creates
a risk of rendering the SRS inoperative or
causing unintended air bag deployment. Work
