Safety Guidelines For The Seat Belt, Emergency Tensioning Retractor And Airbag - Mercedes-Benz 2002 SLK 230 Kompressor Operator's Manual

If you believe that, even with the use of these
guidelines, it would be safer for your front
passenger seat occupant to have the passenger side
door mounted side airbag deactivated, then
deactivation can be accomplished upon your
written election to do so at your authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center at an additional cost. Please
contact your local authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center or call our Client Assistance Center at
1-800-FOR-MERCedes (1-800-367-6372) for details.

• Airbags and ETR's are designed to function on
a one-time-only basis. An airbag or emergency
tensioning retractor (ETR) that was activated
must be replaced.
• Do not pass belts over sharp edges.
• Do not make any modification that could
change the effectiveness of the belts.
• No modifications of any kind may be made to
any components or wiring of the "SRS". This
includes changing or removing any component
or part of the "SRS", the installation of
additional trim material, badges etc. over the
steering wheel hub, passenger airbag cover, or
door trim panels, and installation of additional
electrical/electronic equipment on or near
"SRS" components and wiring. Keep area
