Operation of the automatic co-driver's front
airbag deactivation system may also be
impaired. There is an increased risk of injury,
possibly even fatal.
Use only seat covers which have been specif-
ically approved for the respective seat by
Mercedes-Benz.

WARNING
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. This poses an increased risk
of injury.
Never modify the doors or parts of the doors.
Always have work on the doors or door pan-
elling carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop.
G
WARNING
An airbag that has been deployed once cannot
provide any further protection and, in the
event of an accident, can no longer perform
its intended protective function. There is an
increased risk of injury.
Have the vehicle towed to a qualified special-
ist workshop to have the deployed airbag
replaced.
Have deployed airbags replaced immediately.
Status of the front-passenger front
airbag
Function of the automatic front-
passenger front airbag deactivation
system
The automatic front-passenger front airbag
deactivation system can detect whether a per-
son or a child restraint system is on the front-
passenger seat. The front-passenger front air-
bag is activated or deactivated accordingly.
To ensure the correct weight classification of a
person or a child in a child restraint system on
the front-passenger seat, always make sure the
following conditions are met:
objects are not stored under or next to the
R
front-passenger seat.
the front-passenger seat must always be able
to move freely in all directions.
The ruffled pocket on the rear of the front-
R
passenger seat may be filled up to a maximum
weight of 2 kg.
do not hang or transport objects on the front-
R
passenger seat
do not fasten accessories to the front-
R
passenger seat.
do not wedge in objects with the front-
R
passenger seat, e.g. in the footwell or
between the head restraint and roof .
other vehicle occupants must not lean on the
R
front-passenger seat, e.g. on the backrest
do not transport objects on the front pas-
R
senger's lap
G
WARNING
Objects or forces in addition to the person or
child in the child restraint system that affect
the co-driver's seat may interfere with the
weight classification of the automatic front-
passenger front airbag deactivation system.
Depending on the cause, the weight detected
may be too low or too high. The wrong weight
classification may result in the front-
passenger front airbag not functioning as
intended during an accident. There is an
increased risk of injury, possibly even fatal.
Always make sure the following preconditions
are met:
the co-driver's seat is able to move freely in
R
all directions.
apart from the person or child in the child
R
restraint system, there are no additional
forces that will increase or reduce the load
on the co-driver's seat.
Always comply with the child restraint system
manufacturer's installation instructions.
