Seat Belts and Supplemental Restraint Sy stem (SRS) Your vehicle is equipped wi th seat belts for all se ats, emergency tensioni ng ret ractors for the front seats, as well as front and side imp act ai rbag s and knee bolsters for driv er and front passe nger.
Fastening of Seat Belts 1. Latch plate 2. Buckle 3. Release button Push latch plate (1) into buckle (2) until it clicks. Do not twist the belt. A twisted seat belt may cause injury. The lap belt should be positioned as low as po ssib le on your hips and not across the abdomen.
Warning ! USE SEAT BELTS PROPERLY. • Each occupant should wear their seat belt at all times, because sea t belts help reduce the likelihood of and potential severity of injuries in accidents, including rollovers. "SRS" (driv er airbag, front passenger airbag, front door side impact airbags), "ETR" (seat b elt emergency tensioning retractors), and knee bolsters are impacts which exceed preset deploy ment thresholds.
BabySmart™ Airbag Deactiv ation System Special child seats, desi gned for use with the Mercedes-Ben z system and available at any authorized Mercedes-Benz deal er are required for use with the BabySmart™ airbag deactivation system. With the special child seat properly insta lled, the passeng er front airba g will not deploy.
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) The term Supplemental Restraint System mean s that airbag s are intended as a sup plement to seat belts. Airbags alone cannot protect as well as air bags plus seat belts in impacts for which the airbags were desi gned to operate, and do not afford a ny protectio n whatsoever in crashes fo r which the system is not designed to deploy.
Emergency Tensioning Retractor (E TR) The seat belts for the front seats are eq uippe d with emergency tensioning ret ractors. These tensioning retractors are lo cate d in each belt's inertia reel and become operationally ready with the electronic key in steerin g lock p osition 1 or 2.
Airbags 1. Driver airbag 2. Front passenger airbag 3. Side impact airbag The most effective occupant restraint system yet developed fo r use in productio n vehicles is the seat belt. In some cases, however, the protective effect of a seat belt can be further e nhanced by an airbag.
Important ! The "SRS" airbags are designed to activ ate only in certain frontal (front airbags ) impacts, or side (side airbags) impacts. Only during these ty pes of impacts, if of sufficient severity to meet the deployment thresholds, will they provide their supplemental protection.
When you sell the vehicle we st rongly u rge you to give notice to the subsequent owner that it is equipped with an "SRS" by alerting him to the applicable section in the Owner' s Man ual.
Infant and Child Restraint Systems We recommend that all infants and children be prop erly re strain ed at all times while the vehicle is in motion. All lap-shoulder belts except d river seat have special seat belt retractors for secu re fa stening of child restraints.
