Automatic comfort-fit feature seat belt
An automatic comfort-fit feature for front
seats reduces the retracting force of the
seat belts when they are in normal use.
Roll bars
The roll bars are integrated into the rear
head restraints.
The roll bars raise automatically in an acci-
dent or in a critical driving situation.
You can manually lower the roll bars again
when the soft top is open (
୴ page 354).
!
Do not place objects heavier than 20
lbs (9 kg) on the front passenger seat.
This could cause the front or head-tho-
rax airbag on the front passenger side
to deploy in a crash which exceeds the
system's deployment threshold.
Warning! G
Make sure nothing is blocking the roll bars’
path of motion. Otherwise someone could
be injured when the roll bars are raised. The
head restraints should therefore always be
in the raised position when the rear seat is
occupied (
୴ page 111).
i
When the roll bars are raised automati-
cally, you will hear a ratcheting sound
and the rear head restraints will also
rise.
i
You cannot lower the head restraints in
the rear when the roll bars are in the
raised position.
Warning! G
If the yellow roll bar warning lamp \ in
the clock does not go out after starting the
engine, or if it comes on while driving, then
the roll bar system is not operating properly
and may not activate in an accident. In this
case, raise the roll bars manually before
continuing to drive (
୴ page 353).
For safety reasons, drive only with the roll
bars raised until the malfunction is repaired.
Have your vehicle checked at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
