Therefore, have deployed pyrotechnic
#
seat belt tensioners immediately
replaced at a qualified specialist work‐
shop.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have the
vehicle towed to a qualified specialist workshop
after an accident.
* NOTE Damage caused by trapping the
seat belt
If an unused seat belt is not fully retracted, it
may become trapped in the door or in the
seat mechanism.
Always ensure that an unused seat belt
#
is fully retracted.
Information on the belt airbag in the rear
seat belt
The BELTBAG identification indicates that a rear
seat belt is equipped with a belt airbag.
When activated, the belt airbag increases the
protected area of the vehicle occupant's ribcage.
& WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
use of a non-approved child restraint sys‐
tem
In an accident, the belt airbag may damage a
non-approved child restraint system or a
child restraint system which has not been
approved for use in conjunction with the belt
airbag.
As a result, the child restraint system may
not be able to provide the intended level of
protection.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom‐
mends that you only use a child restraint sys‐
tem which has been tested and approved by
Mercedes-Benz in combination with a belt
airbag.
