G WARNING The SRS self-check has detected a malfunction if the 6 SRS warning lamp: Rdoes not come on at all to go out approximately 4 seconds after the engine was started Rcomes on after the engine was started or while driving For your safety, Mercedes-Benz strongly recommends that you have the system checked as soon as possible at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Otherwise the SRS may not be activated when it is needed in an accident, which could result in serious or fatal injury.
42 Occupant safety Safety RNever place your feet on the instrument panel, dashboard, or on the seat. Always keep both feet on the floor in front of the seat. RImproper 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.
Occupant safety hold the steering wheel by the rim. Placing hands and arms inside the rim can increase the risk and potential severity of hand/arm injury when the driver front air bag inflates. RAdjust the front-passenger seat as far back as possible from the dashboard when the seat is occupied. ROccupants, especially children, should never place their bodies or lean their heads in the area of the door or the rear side trim panel where the side impact air bag inflates.
Safety 44 Occupant safety belts regardless of whether your vehicle is equipped with air bags or not. It is important for your safety and that of your passenger to have deployed air bags replaced and to have any malfunctioning air bags repaired. This will help to make sure the air bags continue to perform their protective function for the vehicle occupants in the event of a crash. Front air bags The front air bags increase protection for the driver's and front-passenger's head and chest.
Occupant safety Safety that provided by the seat belt, driver's knee bag =(Y page 44) is deployed along with the driver's air bag. Driver's knee bag=(Y page 44) operates best in conjunction with a properly positioned and fastened seat belt. Side impact air bags G WARNING The pressure sensors for side impact air bag control are located in the doors. Do not modify any components of the doors or door trim panels including, for example, the addition of door speakers.
46 Occupant safety Safety Window curtain air bags The window curtain air bags enhance the level of protection for the head, but not chest or arms, of the vehicle occupants on the side of the vehicle on which the impact occurs. The window curtain air bags are integrated into the side of the roof frame and deploy in the area extending from the front door (Apillar) to the rear sidewall (C-pillar).
individual is in the front-passenger seat, have the front passenger reposition himself or herself in the seat until the 42 indicator lamp goes out. In the event of a collision, the air bag control unit will not allow front-passenger front air bag deployment when the OCS has classified the front-passenger seat occupant as weighing as much as or less than a typical 12month-old child in a standard child restraint or if the front-passenger seat is classified as being empty.
48 Occupant safety Safety restraint, toddler restraint, or booster seat recommended for the size and weight of the child. Children can be killed or seriously injured by an inflating air bag.
Occupant safety G WARNING If the red SRS 6 indicator lamp in the instrument cluster and the 42 indicator lamp are lit at the same time, there is a malfunction in the OCS.

Occupant safety G WARNING The PRE-SAFE® system reduces the impact of an accident on vehicle occupants, as long as their seat belts have been fastened correctly. Although your vehicle is equipped with a PRESAFE® system, the possibility of injury in the event of an accident cannot be ruled out. You should therefore always drive carefully and adapt your driving style to the prevailing road, weather and traffic conditions.
52 Occupant safety Safety In the same crash, the possibility of injury or death is lessened if you are properly wearing your seat belt. The air bags can only protect as intended if the occupants are properly wearing their seat belts. G WARNING Never ride in a moving vehicle with the seat backrest in an excessively reclined position as this can be dangerous. You could slide under the seat belt in a collision. If you slide under it, the seat belt would apply force at the abdomen or neck.

62 Driving safety systems ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) Important safety notes Safety i Observe the "Important safety notes" section (Y page 61). ABS regulates brake pressure in such a way that the wheels do not lock when you brake. This allows you to continue steering the vehicle when braking. ABS works from a speed of about 5 mph(8 km/h) upwards, regardless of roadsurface conditions. ABS works on slippery surfaces, even when you only brake gently.
Driving safety systems With the help of the radar sensor system, BAS PLUS can detect obstacles that are in the path of your vehicle for an extended period of time. At speeds up to approximately 40 mph (70 km/h), BAS PLUS can also detect stationary obstacles, for example stopped or parked vehicles. Should you approach an obstacle and BAS PLUS has detected a risk of collision, BAS PLUS calculates the braking force necessary to avoid a rear-end collision.
64 Driving safety systems ESP® (Electronic Stability Program) Important safety notes Safety i See the "Important safety notes" section (Y page 61). If ESP® detects that the vehicle is deviating from the direction desired by the driver, one or more wheels are braked to stabilize the vehicle. If necessary, the engine output is also modified to keep the vehicle on the desired course within physical limits. ESP® assists the driver when pulling away on wet or slippery roads.
Driving safety systems Do not deactivate ESP® when the emergency or spare wheel is mounted. ESP® is activated automatically when the engine is started. i Vehicles with ECO start/stop function: the ECO start/stop function switches the engine off automatically when the vehicle comes to a stop. The engine starts automatically when the driver wants to pull away again. ESP® remains in its previously selected status.
Driving safety systems 66 Safety X Observe the notes on warning and indicator lamps (Y page 380) as well as display messages (Y page 349). ADAPTIVE BRAKE ADAPTIVE BRAKE enhances braking safety and offers increased braking comfort.
