Occupant safety 42 Vehicle equipment i This Operator’s Manual describes all fea- tures, standard or optional, potentially available for your vehicle at the time of pur- chase. Please be aware that your vehicle might not be equipped with all features described in this manual.
Occupant safety 43 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.
Occupant safety 44 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 posi- tion with your back against the seat back- rest. Fasten your seat belt and make sure it is properly positioned on your body.
Occupant safety 45 sized infant restraint, toddler restraint, or booster seat recom- mended for the size and weight of the child. (3) Always wear seat belts properly.
Occupant safety 46 ing wheel hub, front passenger front air bag cover, outboard sides of the seat backrests, door trim panels, or door frame trims, and installation of additional electrical/electronic equipment on or near SRS components and wiring. Keep area between air bags and occupants free of objects (e.
Occupant safety 47 R if the system determines that air bag deployment can offer additional protection to that provided by the seat belt R depending on whether the seat belt is in use R independently of the side impact air bags and/or the window curtain air bags The front air bags in this vehicle have been designed to inflate in two stages.
Occupant safety 48 R independently of the front air bags R independently of the ETDs The side impact air bags are not deployed in side impacts which do not exceed the sys- tem’s deployment threshold.
Occupant safety 49 i If your seat, including the trim cover and cushion, needs to be serviced in any way, take the vehicle to an authorized Mer- cedes-Benz Center.
Occupant safety 50 If the front passenger front air bag is deployed, the rate of inflation will be influ- enced by: R the rate of relevant vehicle deceleration as assessed by the air bag control unit R the front passenger’s weight category as identified by the OCS.
Occupant safety 51 R While seated, an occupant should not position him/herself in such a way as to cause the occupant’s weight to be lifted from the seat bottom as this may result in the OCS being unable to correctly approximate the occupant’s weight cat- egory.
Occupant safety 52 likely to hit the interior of the vehicle or be ejected from it. You can be seriously injured or killed. 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.
Occupant safety 53 too much force to the ribs or abdomen, which could severely injure internal organs such as your liver or spleen. Adjust the seat belt so that the shoulder section is located as close as possible to the middle of the shoulder (it should not touch the neck).
Occupant safety 54 your 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. You can be seriously injured or killed. In the same crash, the possibility of injury or death is lessened if you are properly wearing your seat belt.
Occupant safety 55 X If necessary, adjust the seat belt to the cor- rect height. X If necessary, tighten the lap portion to a snug fit by pulling shoulder portion up. Seat belt outlet height adjustment 1 Seat belt height adjuster 2 Release button X Raising: Slide seat belt height adjuster 1 upward.
Occupant safety 56 the warning chime stops sounding, the seat belt telltale < stops flashing but contin- ues to be illuminated. After a vehicle standstill, the warning chime is reactivated and the seat belt telltale < is flashing again if the vehicle speed once exceeds 15 mph (25 km/h).
Occupant safety 57 PRE-SAFE ® takes action in: R Emergency braking situations, e.g. if the Brake Assist System (BAS) ( Y page 66) is activated. R Critical dynamic driving situations, e.
Occupant safety 58 deployment of the front side impact air bags. Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Cen- ter for availability. G Warning! For your protection, drive only with properly positioned head restraints.
Occupant safety 59 ter of the head restraint supports the back of the head at eye level. R Never place hands under seat 3 or near any moving parts while seat 3 is being adjusted. X Properly position steering wheel 1 ( Y page 90). G Observe Safety notes, see page 90.
Occupant safety 60 Do not expose the child restraint system to direct sunlight. The child restraint system’s metal parts, for example, could become very hot, and the child could be burned on these parts. G Warning! Do not carry heavy or hard objects in the passenger compartment unless they are firmly secured in place.
Occupant safety 61 A child’s risk of serious or fatal injuries is significantly increased if the child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle and/or the child is not properly secured in the child restraint. Children too big for a toddler restraint must ride in seats using regular seat belts.
Occupant safety 62 Once top tether anchorage hook 3 is attached, the child restraint itself can be secured. X Install the child restraint system and tighten top tether strap 4 according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions. After removing the child restraint system and the top tether strap 4 .
Occupant safety 63 Child safety Child safety locks G Observe Safety notes, see page 59. G Warning! Children could open a rear door from the inside.

Driving safety systems 64 Panic alarm 1 Â button i USA only: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the fol- lowing two conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and 2. this device must accept any interfer- ence received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Driving safety systems 65 The driving safety systems described in this section cannot reduce these risks or pre- vent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle. They cannot increase brak- ing or steering efficiency beyond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
Driving safety systems 66 For more information, see “What to do if …?” ( Y page 291). BAS G Observe Safety notes, see page 64. The Brake Assist System (BAS) operates in emergency situations. If you apply the brakes very quickly, the BAS automatically provides full brake boost, thereby potentially reducing the braking distance.
Driving safety systems 67 The ESP ® warning lamp v in the instru- ment cluster flashes when the ESP ® is engaged. G Warning! Never switch off the ESP ® when you see the ESP ® warning lamp v flashing in the instrument cluster. In this case proceed as follows: R When driving off, apply as little throttle as possible.
Driving safety systems 68 To improve the vehicle’s traction, switch off the ESP ® in driving situations in which it would be advantageous to have the drive wheels spin and thus cut into surfaces fo.
Anti-theft systems 69 When you switch off the ESP ® R the ESP ® does not stabilize the vehicle R the engine output is not limited, which allows the drive wheels to spin R the ETS will still apply th.
Anti-theft systems 70 Anti-theft alarm system Once the alarm system has been armed, a visual and audible alarm is triggered when someone opens: R a door R the trunk R the hood The alarm will stay on even if the activating element (a door, for example) is immediately closed.
