Security Systems



Occupant protection

Seat belts with belt tensioners and force limiting devices belt, airbags, and child safety devices are separate systems, passenger safety, security functions are consistent with each other.

Many countries have legal rules and regulations governing use of safety belts and child restraint systems. Regardless of this, all passengers should be compulsory to use seat belts and child restraint systems.

Child restraint

For protection in an accident children shorter than 150 cm, and under the age of 12 years require suitable retention device, as in their case, it is impossible to ensure a correct fit seat belts.

On the front passenger seat can not be used restraint, converts ago. The exception is a special child safety seat in combination with the automatic recognition of having the child seat.

In the application of restraint that faces backward, without a system of automatic recognition of the presence of a child seat near the exit airbags child can be applied to very severe injuries, even fatal.

If the seat next to the driver restraint system is used, converted forward, install the seat in its rearmost position.

Use only "MB" restraint.

For help on this subject can be obtained at any service station ?�Mercedes-Benz?�.

To ensure passenger safety when installing a child restraint device, always observe the manufacturer's installation instructions.

Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle, and also if they are protected by a child restraint system.

Automatic recognition of the presence of a child seat

For a system of automatic recognition of having a child seat on the front passenger seat requires a special child seat. This child seat can be purchased at any service station ?�Mercedes-Benz?�.

When using such a special child seat on the front passenger seat front passenger airbag is deactivated. The indicator lamp the center console stays on as long as the front passenger seat mounted a special child seat.

After removal of the child seat to release the brackets, press (2). Brackets turn inward until it locks.

Seat belts

Each seat is equipped with a safety belt.

Pulling the belt strap is locked during braking and deceleration of the car in all directions and when pulling the tape with a jerk.

(Cleaning and maintenance of the belt strap - discussed in Chapter Suspension and steering).

Must wear seat belts at each visit.

Pregnant women also should not give up the protection belts.

Each of the safety belts provided for only one passenger.

It is impossible to fasten any objects together with a passenger.

Airbags provide protection provided only if passengers are wearing seat belts.

In order to protect persons in the event of an accident shorter than 150 cm need suitable retention device, as in their case, it is impossible to ensure a correct fit seat belts. (Refer to "child restraint system").

Damaged or subjected to high loads during a crash seat belts should be replaced. Also, check the belt anchorages.

Use only approved ?�MB?� belts.

Do not alter the equipment seatbelts. This may adversely affect the efficiency of the belts.

Putting on a seatbelt

1. The tongue of the belt
2. Lock the belt

-1- Insert the belt tongue in the buckle to the -2 fixing.

Tensioner seat belt force limiters ready to go when the ignition key is turned to position 1 or 2.

(The indicator lamp safety systems SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) - refer to Section steering wheel, mirrors).

Tensioners with belt tensioning device security restrictions are designed so that they work in a frontal collision or a rear-end collision on the car precisely defined powers. When they pull the seat belts to their snug fit to the body.

Limiters tension of seat belts reduces the load on the passenger seat, resulting in an accident.

Seatbelt pre-driver and front passenger are activated only when the tongue is inserted into the seat belt buckle.

Airbags

Front Airbags

1 airbag
2 The front passenger airbag

Airbag for driver and front passenger are designed so that they work in a frontal collision. Tripping takes place, starting with the collision precisely defined powers.

(The indicator lamp safety systems SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) - refer to Section steering wheel, mirrors).

In the event of an accident without a strong front impact airbags will not deploy. In these accidents the driver and passenger are protected as usual - wearing seatbelts.

Seat occupancy recognition system:

The front passenger airbag is triggered only if the front passenger seat is occupied and not flashing or warning lamp in the center console (Section Driving and auxiliary systems).

Do not place heavy objects on the front passenger seat, since otherwise an accident Airbag front passenger and side airbags with front passenger window airbags.

Side airbags (Sidebags), curtain airbags

4 - Window airbags

Side airbags are configured such that they are only triggered by the collision.

Tripping takes place, starting with the collision precisely defined powers.

In the event of an accident without a strong impact on the side curtain airbags will not deploy.

Side front passenger airbag is triggered only if the front passenger seat is occupied.

Rear side airbag is triggered in the right if the sensors in this zone recorded a side impact.

Rear side airbag on the driver works only if triggered driver side airbag.

Window airbags

Window airbags provide additional protection against head injuries and chest.

They are in zone A and C stands (arrows) between the side panes and the head. They protect against penetrating objects.

Window air bags are designed so that when they are side impact triggered by the impact, in addition to side curtain airbags.

Accident prevention

Airbags provide additional protection; however, in order to avoid injury while deploying an airbag should be considered:

?� Choose the furthest possible from the airbag when the seat position.
?� When driving do not lean forward. Do not lean against the doors from the inside.
?� Steering wheel always hold for the rim to ensure the smooth inflating airbags.
?� On the airbags or between them and the passengers should not be any foreign objects.
?� Do not hang a handle for holding the hard items such as hangers.

If there are children in the car, it should be mandatory to use child restraint systems (see. Above).

In the event of an air bag, do not touch the hot parts. Airbags, triggered in an accident, should be replaced.

Soft cover steering wheel cover front passenger airbag, door trim and a soft headliner in the area of window airbags can not be further tight, stick to them marks or labels, as otherwise it can no longer be guaranteed to trigger airbags.

Do not modify the elements of the systems of safety of passengers, including the cabling.

When you delete a node airbags observe safety rules.

These rules can be found at any service station ?�Mercedes-Benz?�.

The service life of airbags is limited to 15 years.

Therefore, for security reasons, no later than within 15 years, it is strongly recommended to replace the airbags in the workshop ?�Mercedes-Benz?�.

When selling the car owner is obliged to inform the customer on the issue. This is done in the course of transmission "Manuals".

When triggered the airbag is released a small amount of smoke. This smoke is not harmful to health and does not indicate a fire in the vehicle.

With the rapid inflation of cloth fabric structure airbags can cause lung damage to the skin.
