Supplemental Restraint System
The emergency tensioning retractors
are designed to activate only during
severe frontal impacts. They tighten
the belts in such a way that they fit
more snugly against the body re strict
ing as much as possible its forward
movement.

In cases of less severe frontal
impacts, such as roll-overs, side or
rear collisions, or other accidents
w ith ou t severe frontal forces, the
em ergency tensioning retractors will
not be activated. The driver and pas
sengers will then be protected by the
fastened seat belts and inertia reel in
the usual manner.
Warning!
Rear seat passengers should always
wear seat belts — fo r their own p ro
tection and to avoid endangering the
driver and fro nt passenger with their
unrestricted forward movement.
No seat belt can be used fo r more
than one person. Children under the
age of six or under the w eight of
23 kg/50 lb should be seated in the
back seat with an approved restraint
system properly secured.
Child restraint system s recom
mended by us can be fastened to the
existing seat belts. Any authorized
MERCEDES-BENZ dealer will gladly
advise you on this subject.

belts, see page 64.
