Make sure that the seat belts are
#
undamaged, not worn and clean.
Always have the seat belts checked
#
immediately after an accident at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use seat
belts which have been approved for your vehicle
by Mercedes-Benz.
& WARNING Risk of injury or death from
deployed pyrotechnic seat belt tension‐
ers
Pyrotechnic seat belt tensioners that have
been deployed are no longer operational and
are unable to perform their intended protec‐
tive function.
Therefore, have deployed pyrotechnic
#
seat belt tensioners immediately

Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have the
vehicle towed to a qualified specialist workshop
after an accident.
