Seat Belt And Backrest Lock - Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Operator's Manual

Seat Belt and Backrest Lock

Warning Lamp
With the key in steering lock position
2, the warning lamp comes on and an
audible warning sounds for a short time
if the driver's seat belt is not fastened.
If a backrest is not engaged in its lock,
an audible warning will sound
intermittently for up to approx. 20
seconds.
After starting the engine, the warning
lamp blinks for a brief period to remind
the driver and passenger to fasten seat
belts before driving off.
If the warning lamp does not go put
after blinking briefly, but is instead lit
continuously, then a backrest is not
engaged in its lock.
The warning lamp goes out as soon as
the backrest is engaged in its lock.
If the backrest is locked and the
warning lamp does not go out, have the
system checked at your authorized
MERCEDES-BENZ dealer as soon as
possible.
Exterior Lamp Failure Indicator
Lamp
With the key in steering lock position
2, a dim indicator lamp comes on and
goes out with the engine running.
With the key in steering lock position
2 or with the engine running, a bright
illumination of this lamp indicates an
exterior lamp failure (except high
mounted stop lamp).
Note:
The indicator lamp will also come on
if an incorrect bulb is installed.
If additional lighting equipment is
installed (e.g. auxiliary headlamps
etc.) be certain to connect into the fuse
before the failure indicator monitoring
unit in order to avoid damaging the
system.
If an exterior lamp fails, the in-
dicator lamp will come on only
when that lamp is switched on.
If a brake or turn signal lamp fails, the
lamp failure indicator will come on
when applying the brake or actuating
the turn signal and stay on until the
engine is turned off.
