The restraint system includes thefollowing com-
ponents:
RSeat belt system
RAirbags
RChild restraint system
RChild seat securing systems
The restraint system can help prevent thevehicle
occupants from coming into contact with parts of
thevehicle interior in theevent of an accident. In
theevent of an accident, therestraint system can
also reduce theforces to which thevehicle occu-
pants are subjected.
A seat belt can only provide the best level of pro-
tection if it is worn correctly. Depending on the
detected accident situation, Emergency Tension-
ing Devices and/or airbags supplement the pro-
tection oered by a correctly worn seat belt.
Emergency Tensioning Devices and/or airbags
are not deployed in every accident.
In order fortherestraint system to provide the
intended level of protection, each vehicle occu-
pant must observe thefollowing information:
RFasten seat belts correctly.
RSit in an almost upright seat position with their
back against the seat backrest.
RSit with their feet resting on the oor, if possi-
ble.
RAlways secure persons under 5 (1.50 m) tall
in an additional restraint system suitable for
Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
However, no system available today can com-
pletely eliminate injuries and fatalities in every
accident situation. In particular, the seat belt and
airbag generally do not protect against objects
penetrating thevehicle from the outside. It is also
not possible to completely rule out therisk of
injury caused by the airbag deploying.
