62 Safety and SecurityOccupant safetyThe front passenger side airbag will only deploy if the system senses that the front passenger seat is occupied. The side impact airbags and window cur- tain airbags are not deployed in impacts which do not exceed the system’s deploy- ment threshold.Seat belts When the engine is started, the seat belt non-usage warning lamp< illuminates to remind you and your passengers to fas- ten your seat belts. If the driver’s seat belt is not fastened before the engine is start- ed, the seat belt non-usage warning lamp< illuminates and a warning chime sounds for approximately six seconds when the engine is started. The use of seat belts and infant and child restraint systems is required by law in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, the U.S. territories and all Canadian provinces. Even where this is not the case, all vehicle occupants should have their seat belts fas- tened whenever the vehicle is in motion. For more information, see “Fastening the seat belts” ( 0004page 40). iFor information on infants and children traveling with you in the vehicle and re- straint systems for infants and chil- dren, see “Children in the vehicle” (0004page 65). Warning! G Always fasten your seat belt before driving off. Always make sure your passengers are properly restrained, even those sitting in the rear and pregnant women. Failure to wear and properly fasten and po- sition your seat belt greatly increases your risk of injuries and their likely severity in an accident. You and your passengers should always wear seat belts. 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. Airbags can only protect as they are designed if the occupants are prop- erly wearing their seat belts.

63 Safety and Security Occupant safety Warning! G Never ride in a moving vehicle with the seat backrest reclined. Sitting in an excessively reclined position can be dangerous. You could slide under the seat belt in a collision. If you slide under it, the 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 re- straint when the wearer is in an upright po- sition and the belt is properly positioned on the body.Warning! G Never let more people ride in the vehicle than there are seat belts available. Be sure everyone riding in the vehicle is correctly re- strained with a separate seat belt. Warning! G Damaged seat belts or belts that were highly stressed in an accident must be replaced and their anchoring points must also be checked. Only use seat belts which have been ap- proved by Mercedes-Benz. Do not make any modifications to the seat belts. This can lead to unintended activation or to failure. Have all work carried out only by qualified technicians. Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Warning! G USE SEAT BELTS PROPERLY0001 Seat belts can only work when used properly. Never wear seat belts in any other way than as described in this sec- tion, as that could result in serious inju- ries in case of an accident. 0001 Each occupant should wear their seat belt at all times, because seat belts help reduce the likelihood of and potential severity of injuries in accidents, includ- ing rollovers. The integrated restraint system includes SRS (driver airbag, front passenger airbag, side impact air- bags, head protection window curtain airbags for side windows), ETD (seat belt emergency tensioning device), and front seat knee bolsters. The system is de- signed to enhance the protection of- fered to properly belted occupants in certain frontal (front airbags) and side (side impact and window curtain air- bags) impacts which exceed preset de- ployment thresholds and in certain rollovers (window curtain airbags). 00040004

64 Safety and SecurityOccupant safety Emergency tensioning device (ETD), seat belt force limiter The seat belts for the front and rear outer seats are equipped with emergency ten- sioning devices and belt force limiters. The ETD is designed to activate in the fol- lowing cases when the seat belts are fas- tened:0001 in frontal or rear-end impacts exceed- ing a preset severity level 0001 in certain vehicle rollovers 0001 if the restraint systems are operational and functioning correctly, see 1indicator lamp ( 0004page 56) 0001 Never wear the shoulder belt under your arm, against your neck or off your shoul- der. In a crash, your body would move too far forward. That would increase the chance of head and neck injuries. The belt would also apply too much force to the ribs or abdomen, which could se- verely injure internal organs such as your liver or spleen. 0001 Never wear belts over rigid or breakable objects in or on your clothing, such as eyeglasses, pens, SmartKeys etc., as these might cause injuries. 0001 Position the lap belt as low as possible on your hips and not across the abdo- men. If the belt is positioned across your abdomen, it could cause serious injuries in a crash. 0001 Never use a seat belt for more than one person at a time. Do not fasten a seat belt around a person and another per- son or other objects. 0001 Belts should not be worn twisted. In a crash, you wouldn’t have the full width of the belt to manage impact forces. The twisted belt against your body could cause injuries. 0001 Pregnant women should also use a lap-shoulder belt. The lap belt portion should be positioned as low as possible on the hips to avoid any possible pres- sure on the abdomen. 0001 Never place your feet on the instrument panel or on the seat. Always keep both feet on the floor in front of the seat. 00040004

65 Safety and Security Occupant safety In an impact, emergency tensioning devic- es remove slack from the belts in such a way that the seat belts fit more snugly against the body. Belt force limiters reduce the force exerted by the seat belts on oc- cupants during a crash.Automatic comfort-fit feature seat belt An automatic comfort-fit feature for front seats reduces the retracting force of the seat belts when they are in normal use. Children in the vehicle If an infant or child is traveling with you in the vehicle:0001 Secure the child using an infant or child restraint appropriate to the age and size of the child and recommended for use by Mercedes-Benz. 0001 Ensure that the infant or child is prop- erly secured all times while the vehicle is in motion. Infant and child restraint seats and infor- mation on choosing an appropriate re- straint system can be obtained from any Mercedes-Benz Center.Infant and child restraint systems Use only a BabySmart TM1 compatible child restraint for the front passenger seat in this vehicle. We recommend all infants and children be properly restrained at all times while the vehicle is in motion. All lap-shoulder belts except the driver’s seat belt have special seat belt retractors for secure fastening of child restraints. To fasten a child restraint, follow child re- straint instructions for mounting. Then pull the shoulder belt out completely and let it retract. During seat belt retraction, a ratch- eting sound can be heard to indicate that the special seat belt retractor is activated. The belt is now locked. Push down on child restraint to take up any slack. Warning! G An emergency tensioning device (ETD) that was activated must be replaced. When disposing of the emergency tension- ing device, our safety instructions must be followed. These are available at your autho- rized Mercedes-Benz Center.!Do not place objects heavier than 20 lbs (9 kg) on the front passenger seat. This could cause the front or side impact airbag on the front passenger side to deploy in a crash which exceeds the system's deployment threshold. 1BabySmart TM is a trademark of Siemens Automo- tive Corp.

For information on LATCH-type child seat mounts ( 0004page 71). Warning! G Never release the seat belt buckle while the vehicle is in motion, since the special seat belt retractor will be deactivated. !The use of infant or child restraints is required by law in all 50 states, the Dis- trict of Columbia, the U.S. territories and all Canadian provinces. Infants and small children should be seated in an appropriate infant or child restraint system properly secured by a lap-shoulder belt or, if so equipped, a child restraint lower anchorage system that complies with U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 213 and 225 and Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 213 and 210.2. A statement by the child restraint man- ufacturer of compliance with this stan- dard can be found on the instruction label on the restraint and in the instruc- tion manual provided with the restraint. When using any infant or child restraint system, be sure to carefully read and follow all manufacturer’s instructions for installation and use.

67 Safety and Security Occupant safety BabySmart TM1 airbag deactivation system 1Indicator lamp Warning! G Children 12 years old and under must never ride in the front seat, except in a Mercedes-Benz authorized BabySmart TM compatible child seat, which operates with the BabySmart TM system installed in the ve- hicle to deactivate the passenger front air- bag when it is properly installed. Otherwise they will be struck by the airbag when it in- flates in a crash. If this happens, serious or fatal injury will result. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seat- ing positions. Infants and small children must ride in back seats and be seated in an appropriate infant or child restraint system, which is properly secured with the vehicle's seat belt and top tether strap, or secured via lower anchors and top tether strap, fully in accordance with the child seat manufactur- er’s instructions. Infants and small children should never share a seat belt with another occupant. During an accident, they could be crushed between the occupant and seat belt. A child’s risk of serious or fatal injuries is significantly increased if the child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle and the child is not properly secured in the child restraint. Children too big for child restraint systems must ride in back seats using regular seat belts. Position shoulder belt across chest and shoulder, not face or neck. A booster seat may be necessary to achieve proper belt positioning for children from 41 lbs until they reach a height where a lap/shoulder belt fits properly without a booster. When the child restraint is not in use, re- m o v e i t f r o m t h e v e h i c l e o r s e c u r e i t w i t h t h e seat belt to prevent the child restraint from becoming a projectile in the event of an ac- cident. Do not leave children unattended in the ve- hicle, even if the children are secured in a child restraint system. Unsupervised chil- dren in a child restraint system may use ve- hicle equipment and may cause an accident and/or serious personal injury.1BabySmart TM is a trademark of Siemens Automo- tive Corp.

68 Safety and SecurityOccupant safetySpecial BabySmart TM1 compatible child seats, designed for use with the Mercedes-Benz system and available at any authorized Mercedes-Benz Center, are required for use with the BabySmart TM air- bag deactivation system. With the special child seat properly installed, the passenger front airbag will not deploy. The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp1 located in the center console will be illuminated, except with the SmartKey removed or in starter switch position0.Self-test BabySmart TMwithout special child seat installed After turning the SmartKey in the starter switch to position1 or2 or pressing the KEYLESS-GO* start/stop button once or twice, the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp1 located in the center console comes on for approximately six seconds and then goes out. If the indicator lamp should not come on or is continuously lit, the system is not func- tioning. You must see an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center before seating any child on the passenger seat. More information can be found in the “Practical hints” section (0004page 317). 1BabySmart TM is a trademark of Siemens Automo- tive Corp. iThe system does not deactivate the side impact airbag, the window curtain airbag and the emergency tensioning device. Warning! G The BabySmart TM airbag deactivation sys- tem will ONLY work with a special child seat designed to operate with it. It will not work with child seats which are not BabySmart TM compatible. Never place anything between seat cushion and child seat (e.g. pillow), since it reduces the effectiveness of the deactivation sys- tem. The bottom of the child seat must make full contact with the passenger seat cushion. An incorrectly mounted child seat could cause injuries to the child in case of an accident, instead of protecting the child. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation of special child seats.
