Front airbags
1 Driver airbag
2 Passenger front airbag
3 Side impact airbag
Driver and passenger front airbags are
deployed:
ț in the event of a frontal impact
ț if impact exceeds a preset deployment
threshold
ț independently of the side impact air-
bags
The airbags will not deploy in impacts
which do not exceed the system’s deploy-
ment thresholds. You will then be protec-
ted by the fastened seat belts.
The passenger front airbag will only be
deployed if:
ț the passenger seat is occupied
ț the 7 indicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster is not lit (
୴ page 26)
ț the impact exceeds a preset deploy-
ment threshold
Warning! G
In the event that the 1 malfunction indi-
cator lamp comes on while driving, the SRS
may not be operational. For your safety, we
strongly recommend that you visit an autho-
rized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center im-
mediately to have the system checked;
otherwise the SRS may not be activated
when needed in an accident, which could re-
sult in serious or fatal injury, or it might de-
ploy unexpectedly and unnecessarily which
could also result in injury.
!
Do not place objects heavier than
20 lbs (9 kg) on the front passenger
seat. This could cause the front or side
impact airbag on the front passenger
side to deploy in a crash which exceeds
the system's deployment threshold.
