Risk of injury G
The seat belt cannot function correctly if the
belt strap or the belt buckle is dirty or damaged.
You must therefore keep the belt
strap and buckle clean, otherwise the belt
tongue cannot engage correctly.
Regularly check that the seat belts:
are not damaged
are not routed over sharp edges
are not twisted
The belt strap could otherwise tear and you
or others could be injured.
Have seat belts which have been damaged
or subjected to heavy loads in an accident
replaced. Their anchorages should also be
checked.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that, for safety
reasons, you only use seat belts that have
been specially approved for your vehicle by
Mercedes-Benz.
Risk of injury G
Modifications to or work incorrectly carried
out on a restraint system (seat belts and
their anchorages, belt tensioners, belt force
limiters or airbags) or its wiring could prevent
the restraint system from functioning
correctly.

Safety
Restraint systems
The airbags or belt tensioners could, for example,
be activated inadvertently or could
fail in accidents in which the deceleration
force is sufficient to trigger the airbag. For
this reason, you should never modify the restraint
systems.
Risk of injury G
By design, airbags are not activated in all
types of accidents since a correctly fastened
seat belt already provides sufficient
protection in many cases. Airbags do not replace
seat belts in any way. To reduce the
risk of serious or fatal injury, make sure that
all vehicle occupants – in particular, pregnant
women – always have their seat belt
fastened correctly, have adopted a normal
sitting position and that the backrests are
almost vertical.
