Warning!
Modifications to or work improperly con-
ducted on restraint systems or their wiring,
as well as tampering with interconnected
electronic systems, can lead to the restraint
systems no longer functioning as intended.
Air bags or Emergency Tensioning Devices
(ETDs), for example, could deploy inadvert-
ently or fail to deploy in accidents although
the deceleration threshold for air bag de-
ployment is exceeded. Therefore, never
modify the restraint systems. Do not tamper
with electronic components or their soft-
ware.

Warning!
1
In the event that the
comes on during driving or does not come
on at all, the SRS self-check has detected a
malfunction. For your safety, we strongly
recommend that you contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center immediately to have
the system checked; otherwise the SRS may
not deploy when needed in an accident,
which could result in serious personal or
fatal injury, or it might deploy unexpectedly
and unnecessarily which could also result in
injury.
In addition, improper repair work on the SRS
creates a risk of rendering the SRS inopera-
tive or causing unintended air bag deploy-
ment. Work on the SRS must therefore only
be performed by qualified technicians. Con-
tact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
