Occupant safety
Modified or damaged seat belts could tear or
fail in the event of an accident, for example.
Modified seat belt tensioners could acciden‐
tally trigger or fail to function as intended.
Never modify the seat belt system, for
#
example the seat belt, seat belt buckle,
seat belt tensioner, seat belt anchorage
and seat belt retractor.
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.
The AMG sports seat and the AMG Performance
seat are designed for the standard three-point
seat belt. If you fit a different multipoint seat
belt, for example a four-point seat belt, the
restraint system cannot provide the intended
level of protection.
Depending on the type of vehicle, there may be
openings in the seat backrest. These openings
have no function.
& WARNING Risk of injury or fatal injury
due to modified seat belt systems
If you feed seat belts through the opening in
the seat backrest, the seat backrest may be
damaged or may even break in the event of
an accident.
Only use the standard three-point seat
#
belt.
Never modify the seat belt system.
#
& 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
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.
Fastening and adjusting seat belts
If the seat belt is pulled quickly or sharply, the
seat belt retractor locks. The seat belt strap can‐
not be pulled out any further.
