collisions, or other accidents without
sufficient forces, the airbag will not
be activated.
The driver and passengers will then
be protected by the fastened seat
belts.
We caution you not to rely on the
presence of an airbag in order to
avoid wearing your seat belt.
The "SRS" is designed to reduce the
potential of injury in certain frontal,
front-angled and side impacts which
may cause injuries, however, no
system available today can totally
eliminate injuries and fatalities.
The activation of the "SRS"
temporarily releases a small amount
of dust from the air-bags. This dust,
however, is neither injurious to your
health, nor does it indicate a fire in
the vehicle.
The service life of the airbags
extends to the date indicated on the
label located on the driver-side door
latch post. To provide continued
reliability after that date, they
should be inspected by an authorized
Mercedes-Benz dealer at that time
and replaced when necessary.
