Restraint systems
• An airbag system component within the
steering wheel gets hot after the airbag has
inflated. Do not touch.
• Improper work on the system, including
incorrect installation and removal, can lead to
possible injury through an unintended
activation of the "SRS".
• In addition, through improper work there is
the risk of rendering the "SRS" inoperative or
causing unintended airbag deployment. Work
on the "SRS" must therefore only be performed
by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Practical hints Car care
• For your protection and the protection of
others, when scrapping the airbag unit or
emergency tensioning retractor, our safety
instructions must be followed. These
instructions are available at your authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
• Given the considerable deployment speed and
the textile structure of the airbags, there is the
possibility of abrasions or other injuries
resulting from airbag deployment.
When you sell the vehicle we strongly urge you to give
notice to the subsequent owner that it is equipped with
an "SRS" by alerting him to the applicable section in the
Operator's Manual.
