Risk of injury
If the belt tensioners have been triggered,
have them replaced at a qualified specialist
workshop which has the necessary special-
ist knowledge and tools to carry out the
work required. Mercedes-Benz recommends
that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre for this purpose.
In particular, work relevant to safety or on
safety-related systems must be carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.
Observe the safety regulations for the dis-
posal of belt tensioners. Any Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre can provide details of these
regulations.

Risk of injury
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury in
an accident with a high rate of deceleration,
e.g. injuries caused by an airbag inflating
within milliseconds or in the event of abrupt
braking, please observe the following
instructions:
All vehicle occupants must select a seat
position in which it is possible to wear
the seat belt correctly but which is as far
back from the airbag as possible. The
position of the driver's seat must allow
the driver to drive the vehicle safely. The
driver's arms should be slightly bent
when holding the steering wheel. The
distance from the driver's seat to the
pedals must be such that the driver can
fully depress the pedals.
Vehicle occupants should wear their
seat belt correctly at all times and lean
back against the backrest, which should
be positioned almost vertically. The
head restraint should support the back
of your head at about eye level.
Occupant safety
Move the front-passenger seat as far to
the rear as possible, especially if a child
is secured in a restraint system installed
on this seat.
Never secure a rearward-facing child
restraint system on the front-passenger
seat if the front-passenger front airbag
is not deactivated. In the CLK-Class, the
front-passenger front airbag is deacti-
vated if a child restraint system with
automatic child seat recognition is
secured to a front-passenger seat and
the AIRBAG OFF lamp is lit. If the auto-
matic child seat recognition is defective,
children must be secured in a child
restraint system installed on a suitable
rear seat. If you are using a forward-fac-
ing child seat on the front-passenger
seat, the front-passenger seat must be
moved as far to the rear as possible.
