Mercedes-Benz 2006 S 350 Operator's Manual page 66

When you sell your vehicle we strongly
urge you to give notice to the subsequent
owner that it is equipped with an SRS by
alerting them to the applicable section in
the Operator's Manual.
Front air bags
1 Driver's front air bag
2 Passenger front air bag
Driver's and passenger front air bags are
deployed:
in the event of certain frontal impacts
if impact exceeds a preset deployment
threshold
independently of the side impact
air bags
The air bags will not deploy in impacts
which do not exceed the system's deploy-
ment thresholds. You will then be protect-
ed by the fastened seat belts.
Safety and Security
Occupant safety
The passenger front air bag will only be de-
ployed if:
the front passenger seat is occupied
the 58 indicator lamp in the
lower part of the front center console is
not lit ( page 73)
the impact exceeds a preset deploy-
ment threshold
!
Do not place objects heavier than
20 lbs (9 kg) on the front passenger
seat. This could cause the front or side
impact air bag on the front passenger
side to deploy in a crash which exceeds
the system's deployment threshold.
