Limited protection provided by airbags
& WARNING Risk of injury due to modifi‐
cations to the airbag cover
If you modify the cover of an airbag or affix
objects such as stickers to it, the airbag may
no longer function correctly.
Never modify the cover of an airbag and
#
do not affix objects to it.
The installation location of an airbag is identified
by the AIRBAG symbol ( page 41).

& WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
the use of unsuitable seat covers
Unsuitable seat covers can obstruct or pre‐
vent the deployment of the airbags integra‐
ted into the seats.
Consequently, the airbags cannot protect
vehicle occupants as they are designed to
do. In addition, the operation of the auto‐
matic front passenger airbag shutoff could
be restricted.
You should only use seat covers that
#
have been approved for the correspond‐
ing seats by Mercedes-Benz.
& WARNING Risk of injury due to malfunc‐
tions of the sensors in the door panelling
Sensors to control the airbags are located in
the doors. Modifications or work not per‐
formed correctly to the doors or door panel‐
ling, as well as damaged doors, can lead to
the function of the sensors being impaired.
The airbags might therefore not function
properly any more.
Consequently, the airbags cannot protect
vehicle occupants as they are designed to
do.
Never modify the doors or parts of the
#
doors.
Always have work on the doors or door
#
panelling carried out at a qualified spe‐
cialist workshop.
& WARNING Risk of injury due to deployed
airbag
A deployed airbag no longer offers any pro‐
tection and cannot provide the intended pro‐
tective function in the event of an accident.
Have the vehicle towed to a qualified
#
specialist workshop in order to have the
deployed airbag replaced.
Have deployed airbags replaced immediately.

Function of the automatic front passenger

is occupied by a person or a child restraint sys‐
tem. The front passenger airbag is enabled or
disabled accordingly.
