WARNING
Pyrotechnical belt tensioners which have
been triggered are no longer operational and
therefore cannot protect as intended. There is
an increased risk of injury, possibly even fatal.
Have pyrotechnic belt tensioners which have
been triggered replaced at a qualified special-
ist workshop immediately.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have the
vehicle towed to a qualified specialist workshop
after an accident.
!
Make sure that the seat belt is fully rolled up.
Otherwise, the seat belt or belt tongue will be
trapped in the door or in the seat mechanism.
This could damage the door, the door trim
panel and the seat belt. Damaged seat belts
can no longer fulfil their protective function
and must be replaced. Visit a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Fastening and adjusting the seat belts
If the seat belt is pulled quickly or suddenly, the
inertia reel locks. The belt strap cannot be pulled
out further.
!
If the co-driver's seat is not occupied, do not
engage the seat belt tongue in the buckle on
the co-driver's seat. Otherwise, in the event of
an accident the belt tensioner could be trig-
gered in addition to other systems and would
need to be replaced.

ment cluster reminds you that all vehicle occu-
pants must fasten their seat belts correctly.

seat belts, the seat belt warning goes out.
