Risk of injury G
The service life of the front-passenger airbag
is limited to 15 years. Have the frontpassenger
airbag replaced after no more
than 15 years at a qualified specialist
workshop which has the necessary specialist
knowledge and tools to carry out the
work required. Mercedes-Benz recommends
that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre
for this purpose.
In particular, work relevant to safety or on
safety-related systems must be carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.

Risk of injury G
Airbags offer an additional degree of protection,
but do not replace the seat belts in any
way. You are therefore only sufficiently protected
if you wear your seat belt correctly at
all times.
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury
by an airbag inflating in an accident, please
observe the following points:
All vehicle occupants – in particular,
pregnant women – must wear their seat
belt correctly at all times.
Choose a seat position as far back from
the airbag as possible and which still allows
you to drive the vehicle safely.
Do not lean forwards while the vehicle is
in motion, e.g. over the padded boss of
the steering wheel.
Nur fuer internen Gebrauch
Do not lean on the doors from inside the
vehicle.
Do not put your feet on the dashboard.
Only hold the steering wheel by the rim.
This allows the airbag to inflate fully. If
you hold the steering wheel by the inside,
you could be injured if the airbag is
triggered.
Do not place any objects on the airbags
or between the airbags and the vehicle's
occupants.
Do not hang any hard objects, such as
coat hangers, on the grab handles.
Do not place any objects between the
backrest and the door.
The risk of skin abrasions or minor injuries
caused by an airbag cannot be completely
ruled out due to the high speed at which the
airbag is required to inflate.
