40 Occupant safety Vehicle equipment Safety i This manual describes all the standard and optional equipment of your vehicle which was available at the time of purchase. Country-specific differences are possible. Bear in mind that your vehicle may not feature all functions described here. This also refers to safety-related systems and functions. Occupant safety Overview of occupant safety In this section you will learn the most important facts about the restraint system components of the vehicle.
PAGE 43
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.
PAGE 44
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.
PAGE 45
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.
PAGE 46
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 will continue to provide supplemental crash protection for occupants. Front air bags G Warning Observe "Important safety notes" (Y page 42).
PAGE 47
Occupant safety When deployed, the side impact air bags offer additional protection for the thorax of the vehicle occupants on the side of the vehicle on which the impact occurs. However, they do not protect the: Safety Driver's knee bag = (Y page 44) increases protection for the driver against the risk of: Rknee injuries Rthigh injuries Rlower leg injuries Driver's knee bag = (Y page 44) inflates beneath the steering column.

PAGE 53
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.
PAGE 54
Safety 52 Occupant safety seat belt properly buckled. Without your seat belt buckled, you are much more likely to hit the interior of the vehicle or be ejected from it.
