Restraint system

Protection by the restraint system
The restraint system includes the following:

• Seat belt system
• Airbags
• Child restraint system
• Child seat securing system
  In the event of an accident, the restraint system can:
• Reduce the risk of vehicle occupants coming into contact with parts of the vehicle interior.
• Reduce the forces to which the vehicle occupants are subjected.
  Aseat belt can onlyprovide the best level of protection if it is worn correctly. Depending on the detected accident situation, Emergency Tension‐ing devices and/or airbags supplement the thepro‐tection offered by a correctly worn seat belt. Emergency Tensioning Devices and/or airbags arenot deployed in every accident.
  So that the restraint system can provide protection, each vehicle occupant must:
• With the seat belt fastened correctly
• In an almost upright position with their back
  against the seat backrest
• Sit with their feet resting on the floor, if possible.
• Always be secured in an additional restraint system suitable for Mercedes-Benz vehicles if they are under 5 ft (1.50 m) tall.

However, no system available today can completely eliminate injuries and fatalities in every accident situation. In particular, the seat belt and airbag generally do not protect against objects penetrating the vehicle from the outside.
A risk of injury caused by the airbag deploying can also not be completely ruled out.

Reduced restraint system protection
WARNING Risk of injury or death from modifications to the restraint system
Modifications to the restraint system may cause it to no longer work as intended.
The restraint system may then not protect the vehicle occupants as intended by failing in an accident or triggering unexpectedly, for example

• Never alter the parts of the restraint system.
• Never tamper with the wiring or any electronic component parts or their software.
  If it is necessary to modify the vehicle to accommodate a person with disabilities, contact a qualified specialist workshop. Mercedes-Benz recommends that you only use seat belts which have been approved specifically for your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz.
• Contact a Mercedes-Benz service center for details.
• USA only: For details, contact our Customer Assistance Center on 1-800-FOR-MERCedes (1‑800‑367‑6372).
