In this section you will learn the most im-
portant facts about the restraint systems
of the vehicle.
The restraint systems are
앫 Seat belts
앫 Emergency tensioning device
앫 Airbags
앫 Child seats
앫 Child seat recognition
앫 Lower anchors and tethers for children
(LATCH)
As independent systems their protective
effects work in conjunction with each oth-
er.
The
1 warning lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up:
앫 for about 4 seconds when you turn the
key in the starter switch to position 1
or press the KEYLESS-GO* start/stop
button once.
앫 for about 4 seconds when you start the
engine by turning the key or pressing
the KEYLESS-GO* start/stop button.
The warning lamp goes out shortly after
you start the engine. This shows that the
restraint systems are operational.
A malfunction in the system has been de-
tected, if the
1 warning lamp:
앫 fails to extinguish after approximately
4seconds.
앫 does not come on at all.
앫 comes on after the engine was started
or while driving.
For safety reasons, we strongly recom-
mend that you visit an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center immediately to
have the system checked.

“Practical hints” section (
