In this section you will learn the most im-
portant facts about the restraint systems
of the vehicle.
The restraint systems are
ț Seat belts
ț Emergency tensioning device
ț Airbags
ț Child seats
ț Child seat recognition
ț Lower anchors and tethers for children
(LATCH)
As independent systems their protective
effects work in conjunction with each
other.
The
1 warning lamp in the instrument
cluster (
୴ page 22) lights up:
ț for about four seconds when you turn
the key in the starter switch to
position 1.
ț for about four seconds when you start
the engine by turning the key.
The warning lamp goes out shortly after
you start the engine. This shows that the
restraint systems are operational.
A malfunction in the system has been
detected if the
1 warning lamp:
ț fails to extinguish after approximately
four seconds.
ț does not come on at all.
ț comes on after the engine was started
or while driving.
For safety reasons, we strongly
recommend that you visit an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center immediately to
have the system checked.
