Warning! Proper use of the vehicle Work improperly carried out on electronic components and associated software could cause them to cease functioning. Because the vehicle’s electronic components are in- terconnected, any modifications made may produce an undesired effect on other sys- tems. Electronic malfunctions could seri- ously impair the operating safety of your vehicle. See an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for repairs or modifications to electronic components. Other improper work or modifications on the vehicle could also have a negative impact on the operating safety of the vehicle. Some safety systems only function while the engine is running. You should therefore nev- er turn off the engine while driving. Heavy blows against the vehicle underbody or tires/wheels, for example when running over an obstacle, road debris or a pothole, may cause serious damage and impair the operating safety of your vehicle. If you feel a sudden significant vibration or ride distur- bance, or you suspect that damage to your vehicle has occurred, you should turn on your hazard warning flashers, carefully slow down, and drive with caution to an area which is a safe distance from the road. Inspect the vehicle underbody and tires/wheels for possible damage. If the ve- hicle appears unsafe, have it towed to the nearest authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or other qualified maintenance or repair fa- cility for further inspection or repairs. Proper use of the vehicle requires that you are familiar with the following information and rules: 앫 the safety precautions in this manual 앫 the “Technical data” section in this manual 앫 traffic rules and regulations 앫 motor vehicle laws and safety stan- dards Warning! Various warning labels are attached to your vehicle. These warning labels are intended to make you and others aware of various risks. You should not remove any of these warning labels unless explicitly instructed to do so by information on the label itself. Re- moval of any of these labels may cause you and others to be unaware of certain risks which may result in an accident and/or per- sonal injury. 20 Introduction Problems with your vehicle 왔 Problems with your vehicle If you should experience a problem with your vehicle, particularly one that you believe may affect its safe operation, we urge you to immediately contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center to have the problem diagnosed and corrected if required.

The restraint systems are 앫 Seat belts (컄 page 52) 앫 Child restraints (컄 page 57) 앫 Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH) (컄 page 61) Additional protection potential provide 앫 Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) with 앫 Air bags (컄 page 42) 앫 Air bag control unit (with crash sensors) 앫 Emergency Tensioning Device (ETD) for seat belts (컄 page 55) 앫 Seat belt force limiter (컄 page 55) 앫 Preventive occupant safety (PRE-SAFE®) (컄 page 56) 40 Air bag system components with 앫 Front passenger front air bag off indica- tor lamp (컄 page 50) 앫 Front passenger seat with Occupant Classification System (OCS) (컄 page 47) Although independent systems, their pro- tective functions work in conjunction with each other. i For information on infants and children trav- eling with you in the vehicle and restraint sys- tems for infants and children, see “Children in the vehicle” (컄 page 57). The SRS system conducts a self-test when the ignition is switched on and in regular intervals while the engine is running. This facilitates early detection of malfunctions. The = indicator lamp in the instrument cluster (컄 page 30) comes on when the ignition is switched on and goes out no lat- er than a few seconds after the engine has been started. The SRS components are in operational readiness when the = indicator lamp is not lit when the engine is running. A malfunction in the system has been detected if the = indicator lamp: 앫 fails to go out after approximately 4 seconds after the engine was started 앫 does not come on at all 앫 comes on after the engine was started or while driving Warning! Warning! Modifications to or work improperly con- ducted on restraint systems (such as seat belts and anchors, emergency tensioning devices, seat belt force limiters or air bags) or their wiring, as well as tampering with in- terconnected electronic systems, can lead to the restraint systems no longer function- ing as intended. Air bags or emergency tensioning devices, for example, could deploy inadvertently or fail to deploy in accidents although the de- celeration threshold for air bag deployment is exceeded. Therefore, never modify the re- straint systems. Do not tamper with elec- tronic components or their software. In the event that the = indicator lamp comes on during driving or does not come on at all, the SRS self-check has detected a malfunction. 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 deploy when needed in an accident, which could result in serious or fatal injury, or it might deploy unexpectedly and unnec- essarily which could also result in injury. In addition, improper work on the SRS cre- ates a risk of rendering the SRS inoperative or causing unintended air bag deployment. Work on the SRS must therefore only be per- formed by qualified technicians. Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Safety and Security Occupant safety If it is necessary to modify an air bag system to accommodate a person with disabilities, contact your local authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or call our Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-FOR-MERCedes (1-800-367-6372) for details. 41 Safety and Security Occupant safety Air bags Warning! Air bags are designed to reduce the poten- tial of injury and fatality in certain frontal im- pacts (front air bags, driver-side knee bag), side impacts (side impact air bags and win- dow curtain air bags) or rollovers (window curtain air bags). However, no system avail- able today can completely eliminate injuries and fatalities. The deployment of the air bags temporarily releases a small amount of dust from the air bags. This dust, however, is neither injurious to your health, nor does it indicate a fire in the vehicle. The dust might cause some tem- porary breathing difficulty for people with asthma or other breathing trouble. To avoid this, you may wish to get out of the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. If you have any breathing difficulty but cannot get out of the vehicle after the air bag inflates, then get fresh air by opening a window or door. 42 Warning! To reduce the risk of injury when the front air bags inflate, it is very important for the driver and front passenger to always be in a properly seated position and to wear their respective seat belt. For maximum protection in the event of a collision always be in normal seated position with your back against the backrest. Fasten your seat belt and make sure that it is prop- erly positioned on your body (컄 page 360). Since the air bag inflates with considerable speed and force, a proper seating and hands on steering wheel position will help to keep you at a safe distance from the air bag. Occupants who are unbelted, out of position or too close to the air bag can be seriously injured or killed by an air bag as it inflates with great force in the blink of an eye: 앫 Sit properly belted in a position that is as upright as possible with your back against the seat backrest. 앫 Adjust the driver’s seat as far as possi- ble rearward, still permitting proper op- eration of vehicle controls. The distance from the center of the driver’s breast- bone to the center of the air bag cover on the steering wheel must be at least 10 inches (25 cm) or more. You should be able to accomplish this by a combina- tion of adjustments to the seat and steering wheel. If you have any prob- lems, please see an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. 앫 Do not lean your head or chest close to the steering wheel or dashboard. 앫 Keep hands on the outside of steering wheel rim. Placing hands and arms in- side the rim can increase the risk and potential severity of hand/arm injury when driver’s front air bag inflates. 앫 Adjust the front passenger seat as far as possible rearward from the dashboard when the seat is occupied. 앫 Occupants, especially children, should always sit as upright as possible, proper- ly use the seat belts and use an appro- priately sized infant restraint, toddler restraint, or booster seat recommended for the size and weight of the child. Failure to follow these instructions can result in severe injuries to you or other occupants. If you sell your vehicle, it is important that you make the buyer aware of this safety information. Be sure to give the buyer this Operator’s Manual. Safety and Security Occupant safety Warning! Accident research shows that the safest place for children in an automobile is in the rear seat. There is a possibility for a side impact air bag related injury if occupants, especially children, are not properly seated or re- strained when next to a side impact air bag which needs to deploy rapidly in a side im- pact in order to do its job. To help avoid the possibility of injury, please follow these guidelines: (1) Always sit as upright as possible, prop- erly use the seat belts, and for all chil- dren 12 years old and under, use an appropriately sized infant restraint, tod- dler restraint, or booster seat recom- mended for the size and weight of the child. (2) Always wear seat belts properly. i Air bags are designed to deploy only in cer- tain frontal impacts (front air bags, driver-side knee bag), and in side impacts (side impact and window curtain air bags) which exceed preset thresholds, and in certain rollovers (window cur- tain air bags). Only during these events will they provide their supplemental protection. The driver and passengers should always wear their seat belts. Otherwise it is not possible for air bags to provide their supplemental protec- tion. In case of other types of impacts and impacts be- low air bag deployment thresholds, air bags will not deploy. The driver and passenger will then be protected to the extent possible by a properly fastened seat belt. A properly fastened seat belt is also needed to provide the best possible pro- tection in a rollover. We caution you not to rely on the presence of the air bags in order to avoid wearing your seat belt. It is important to your safety and that of your pas- sengers that you replace deployed air bags and repair any malfunctioning air bags to make sure the vehicle will continue to provide supplemental crash protection for occupants. 43 Safety and Security Occupant safety Safety guidelines for the seat belt, emergency tensioning device and air bag Warning! 앫 Damaged seat belts or seat belts that were highly stressed in an accident must be replaced and their anchoring points must also be checked. Only use seat belts installed or supplied by an au- thorized Mercedes-Benz Center. 앫 Air bags and pyrotechnic Emergency Tensioning Devices (ETDs) are designed to function on a one-time-only basis. An air bag or ETD that is deployed must be replaced. 앫 Do not pass seat belts over sharp edges. They could tear. 앫 Do not make any modification that could change the effectiveness of the seat belts. 44 앫 Do not bleach or dye seat belts as this may severely weaken them. In a crash they may not be able to provide ade- quate protection. 앫 No modifications of any kind may be made to any components or wiring of the SRS. This includes changing or re- moving any component or part of the SRS, the installation of additional trim
