Important!
The "SRS" is designed to reduce the
potential of injury in certain frontal
and front-angled impacts which may
cause injuries; however, no system
available today can totally eliminate
injuries and fatalities.
The activation of the "SRS"
temporarily releases a small amount
of dust from the air-bags. This dust,
however, is neither injurious to your
health, nor does it indicate a fire in
the vehicle.
The service life of the airbags
extends to the date indicated on the
label located on the driver-side door
latch post To provide continued
reliability after that date, they
should be inspected by an authorized
MERCEDES-BENZ dealer at that
time and replaced when necessary.
Warning!
It is very important for your safety
to always be in a properly seated
position and to wear your seat belt.
For maximum protection in the
event of a collision always be in
normal seated position with your
back against the
seat back. Fasten your seat belt and
ensure that it is properly positioned
on the body.
Since the airbag inflates with
considerable speed and force, a
proper seating and hands on steering
wheel position will keep you in a safe
distance from the airbag:
• Sit properly belted in an upright
position with your back against
the seat back.
• Adjust the driver seat as far as
possible rearward, still
permitting proper operation of
vehicle controls.
• Do not lean with your head or
chest close to the steering wheel
or dashboard.
• Keep hands on the outside of
steering wheel rim. Placing hands
and arms inside the rim can
increase the risk and potential
severity of hand/arm injury when
airbag inflates.
• Adjust the passenger seat as far
as possible rearward from the
dashboard, especially when a
child restraint is installed.
• Infants and small children should
only be seated in a rear seat and
be properly secured in a child
restraint system.
• Rear-facing child restraints must
not be used in a front seat.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in severe injuries to you
or other occupants.
