Important safety notes

The use of infant or child restraints is required

by law in all 50 states, the District of

Columbia, all U.S. territories and all Canadian

provinces.
Even where this is not the case, all vehicle

occupants should have their seat belts

fastened when the vehicle is in motion.

i

See "Children in the vehicle"

(

Y

page 58) for further information on

infants and children traveling in the vehicle

as well as on child restraint systems.

WARNING

Always fasten your seat belt before driving off.

Always make sure all of your passengers are

properly restrained. You and your passengers

should always wear seat belts.
Failure to wear and properly fasten and

position your seat belt greatly increases your

risk of injuries and their likely severity in an

accident.
If you are ever in an accident, your injuries can

be considerably more severe without your

seat belt properly buckled. Without your seat

belt buckled, you are much more likely to hit

the interior of the vehicle or be ejected from

it. You can be seriously injured or killed.

In the same crash, the possibility of injury or

death is lessened if you are properly wearing

your seat belt. The air bags can only protect

as intended if the occupants are properly

wearing their seat belts.

G

WARNING

Never ride in a moving vehicle with the seat

backrest in an excessively reclined position as

this can be dangerous. You could slide under

the seat belt in a collision. If you slide under

it, the seat belt would apply force at the

abdomen or neck. That could cause serious

or even fatal injuries. The seat backrest and

seat belt provide the best restraint when the

wearer is in a position that is as upright as

possible and the seat belt is properly

positioned on the body.

G

WARNING

Never let more people ride in the vehicle than

there are seat belts available. Make sure

everyone riding in the vehicle is correctly

restrained with a separate seat belt. Never

use a seat belt for more than one person at a

time.

G

WARNING

Damaged seat belts or seat belts that have

been subjected to stress in an accident must

be replaced and their anchoring points must

also be checked.
Only use seat belts which have been approved

by Mercedes-Benz.
Do not make any modifications to the seat

belts. This can lead to unintended activation

of the ETDs or to their failure to activate when

necessary.
Do not bleach or dye seat belts as this may

severely weaken them. In a crash they may

not be able to provide adequate protection.
Have all work carried out only by qualified

technicians. Contact an authorized

Mercedes-Benz Center.
