THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 45
2
Make sure to give any new owner of your vehicle
this Owner’s Manual so that the new owner will
be aware of all safety warnings.
If the instrument cluster indicates a malfunction
of the
"SRS", as explained above, we strongly
recommend that you visit an authorized Sprinter
Dealer immediately to have the system checked;
otherwise the
"SRS" may not be activated when
needed in an accident, which could result in
serious or fatal injury, or it might deploy
unexpectedly and unnecessarily, which could also
result in injury or death.
The activation of the
"SRS" temporarily releases a
small amount of dust from the airbag. This dust,
however, is neither injurious to your health, nor
does it indicate a fire in the vehicle. The dust
might cause some temporary breathing difficulty
for people with asthma or other breathing trouble.
To avoid this, you may wish to get out of the
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. If you have
any breathing difficulty but cannot get out of the
vehicle after the airbag inflates, then get fresh air
by opening a window or door.
Given the considerable deployment speed and the
textile structure of the airbag, there is a risk of
abrasions and injuries due to airbag deployment.
