Risk of injury
You could injure yourself in an accident if
you use seat belts which:
are damaged
have been subjected to a load in an acci-
dent
have been modified
These seat belts can then no longer function
or protect as intended.
Do not pass the seat belt strap over sharp
edges. It could tear.
Make sure that the seat belt is not caught in
the door or seat adjustment mechanism. It
could be damaged.
G
Risk of injury
Check the seat belts regularly for damage.
You should never modify the seat belts your-
self. They might not function properly any
more.
Always have seat belts which are damaged
or have been subjected to a load in an
accident replaced at a qualified specialist
workshop, which has the necessary special-
ist knowledge and tools to carry out the
required work. Mercedes-Benz recommends
that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Cen-
tre for this purpose. In particular, work rele-
vant to safety or on safety-related systems
must be carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop.
