& WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
the use of unsuitable seat covers
If you use unsuitable seat covers, the airbags
cannot protect vehicle occupants as they are
designed to do.
In addition, the function of the automatic co-
driver 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-
tioning sensors in the door
The function of the airbags can be impaired
due to modifications or incorrect work per-
formed on the doors or door trim, or if the
doors are damaged.
Never modify the doors or parts of the
#
doors.
Always have work on the doors or door
#
trim carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop.
& WARNING Risk of injury due to deployed
airbag
A deployed airbag no longer offers any protec-
tion.
Have the vehicle towed to a qualified
#
specialist workshop in order to have the
deployed airbag replaced.
Have deployed airbags replaced immediately.

#

#
pied, ensure that no objects have
become trapped beneath the front
