Safety notes
The use of seat belts and infant and child
restraint systems is required by law in all 50
states, the District of Columbia, the U.S.
territories and all Canadian provinces.
Even where this is not the case, all vehicle
occupants should have their seat belts
fastened whenever the vehicle is in motion.
For information on infants and children
traveling with you in the vehicle and restraint

G Warning!
Always fasten your seat belt before driving
off. Always make sure your passenger is
properly restrained. You and your
passenger should always wear seat belts.
Failure to wear and properly fasten and
position your seat belt greatly increases
your risk of injuries and their likely severity
in an accident.
If you are ever in an accident, your injuries
can be considerably more severe without
your seat belt properly buckled. Without
your seat belt buckled, you are much more
likely to hit the interior of the vehicle or be
ejected from it. You can be seriously injured
or killed.
In the same crash, the possibility of injury
or death is lessened if you are properly
wearing your seat belt. The air bags can
only protect as intended if the occupants
are properly wearing their seat belts.
G Warning!
Never ride in a moving vehicle with the seat
backrest in an excessively reclined position
as this can be dangerous. You could slide
under the seat belt in a collision. If you slide
under it, the seat belt would apply force at

the abdomen or neck. That could cause
serious or even fatal injuries. The seat
backrest and seat belt provide the best
restraint when the wearer is in a position
that is as upright as possible and the seat
belt is properly positioned on the body.
G Warning!
Never let more people ride in the vehicle
than there are seat belts available. Make
sure everyone riding in the vehicle is
correctly restrained with a separate seat
belt. Never use a seat belt for more than
one person at a time.
G Warning!
Keep the door storage compartments
closed while vehicle is in motion. Failure to
do so may cause the seat belt to catch at
the rear and prevent proper positioning of
the seat belt.
G Warning!
Damaged seat belts or seat belts that have
been subjected to stress in an accident
must be replaced and their anchoring
points must also be checked.
Only use seat belts which have been
approved by Mercedes-Benz.
