Safety and Security Occupant safety Front air bags Warning! G i The front air bags in this vehicle have been designed to inflate in two stages. This allows the air bag to have different rates of inflation that are based on the rate of relevant vehicle deceleration as assessed by the air bag control unit. Vehicles with OCS* only: On the front passenger-side, the front air bag deployment is additionally influenced by the passenger's weight category as identified by the Occupant Classification System (OCS) ( page 81). Only use seat covers which have been tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz for your vehicle model. Using other seat covers may interfere with or prevent the deployment of the front side impact air bags or the rear side impact air bags*. Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center for availability. When you sell your vehicle we strongly urge you to give notice to the subsequent owner that it is equipped with an SRS by alerting them to the applicable section in the Operator's Manual. 1 Driver air bag 2 Passenger air bag Driver and front passenger front air bags are deployed: in the event of certain frontal impacts if impact exceeds a preset deployment threshold independently of the side impact air bags Vehicles with OCS* only: The lighter the front passenger side occupant, the higher the vehicle deceleration rate required for the second stage inflation of the air bag. 79
