Safety and Security Occupant safety Front air bags Never place your feet on the instrument panel, dashboard, or on the seat. Always keep both feet on the floor in front of the seat. In addition, improper repair work on the SRS creates a risk of rendering the SRS inoperative or causing unintended air bag deployment. Work on the SRS must therefore only be performed by qualified technicians. Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. For your protection and the protection of others, when scrapping the air bag unit or emergency tensioning device, our safety instructions must be followed. These instructions are available from any authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Given the considerable deployment speed, required inflation volume, and the textile structure of the air bags, there is the possibility of abrasions or other, potentially more serious injuries resulting from air bag deployment. Warning! G 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 head-thorax air bags. Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz 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 3 Knee bag (passenger side) 4 Knee bag (driver's side) Driver and passenger air bags and knee bags are deployed in the event of certain frontal impacts if impact exceeds a preset deployment threshold independently of the head-thorax air bags 69
