Warning !
USE SEAT BELTS PROPERLY.
• Each occupant should wear their seat belt at all times, because seat belts help reduce the
likelihood of and potential severity of injuries in accidents, including rollovers. "SRS" (driver
airbag, front passenger airbag, front door side impact airbags), "ETR" (seat belt emergency
tensioning retractors), and knee bolsters are impacts which exceed preset deployment thresholds.
• Improperly positioned seat belts do not provide maximum protection and may
cause serious injuries in case of an accident.
• Never wear the shoulder belt under your arm, against your neck or off your shoulder. In a
crash, your body would move too far forward. That would increase the chance of head and
neck injuries. The belt would also apply too much force to the ribs or abdomen, which could
severely injure infernal organs such as your liver or spleen.
• Position the lap belt as low as possible on your hips and not across the abdomen. If the
belt is positioned across your abdomen, it could cause serious injuries in a crash.
• Each seat belt should never be used for more than one person at a time. Do not fasten a
seat belt around a person and objects.
• Belts should not be worn twisted. In a crash, you wouldn't have the full width of the belt to
manage impact forces. The twisted belt against your body could cause injuries.
• Pregnant women should also use a lap-shoulder belt. The lap belt portion should be positioned
as low as possible on the hips to avoid any possible pressure on the abdomen.
Warning !
USE CHILD RESTRAINTS PROPERLY.
Children 12 years old and under must never ride in the front seat, except in a Mercedes-Benz
authorized Baby Smart™ compatible child seat, which operates with the BabySmart™ system
installed in the vehicle to deactivate the passenger side front airbag when it is properly installed.
Otherwise they will be struck by the airbag when it inflates in a crash. If this happens, serious or
fatal injury will result.
According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating
positions than in the front seating positions. Infants and small children must ride in back seats
and be seated in an appropriate infant or child restraint system, which is properly secured with
the vehicle's seat belt, fully in accordance with the seat manufacturer's instructions.
A child's risk of serious or fatal injuries is significantly increased if the child restraints are not
properly secured in the vehicle and the child is not properly secured in the child restraint.
Children too big for child restraint systems must ride in back seats using regular seat belts.
Position shoulder belt across chest and shoulder, not face or neck. A booster seat may be
necessary to achieve proper belt positioning.
