R

Emergency Tensioning Device, seat belt
anchorage or seat belt retractor
Seat belts may sustain non-visible damage in
an accident, e.g. due to glass splinters.
Modified or damaged seat belts could tear or
fail in the event of an accident, for example.
Modified Emergency Tensioning Devices could
accidentally trigger or fail to function as inten-
ded.
Never modify the seat belt system, for
#
example the seat belt, seat belt buckle,
Emergency Tensioning Device, seat belt
anchorage and seat belt retractor.
Make sure that the seat belts are undam-

Use only seat belts that have been approved for
your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz.
The seat is designed for the standard three-point
seat belt. If you install a different multipoint seat
belt, such as a four-point seat belt, the restraint
system will not be able to provide the intended
level of protection.
Depending on the type of vehicle, there may be
openings in the seat backrest. These openings
have no function.
