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 Air bags
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 oth-
er.
The 1 indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster comes on
ț for about 4 seconds when you turn the
SmartKey in the starter switch to
position 1 or press the KEYLESS-GO*
start/stop button once.
ț for about 4 seconds when you start the
engine by turning the SmartKey or
pressing the KEYLESS-GO* start/stop
button.
The restraint systems are fully operational
if the 1 indicator lamp is not lit when
the engine is running.
A malfunction in the system has been
detected if the 1 indicator lamp:
ț fails to go out after approximately
4 seconds
ț does not come on at all
ț comes on after the engine was started
or while driving
For safety reasons, we strongly recom-
mend that you visit an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center immediately to
have the system checked.
