Protection by the restraint system
The restraint system includes the following components:
  • Seat belt system

  • Airbags

  • Child restraint system

  • Child seat securing system

The restraint system can reduce the risk of vehicle occupants coming into contact with parts of the vehicle's interior in the event of an accident. The restraint system can also reduce the forces to which vehicle occupants are subjected in the event of an accident.

Only a seat belt which is worn correctly can provide the intended level of protection. Depending on the detected accident situation, seat belt tensioners and/or airbags supplement a correctly worn seat belt. Seat belt tensioners and/or airbags are not deployed in every accident.

For the restraint system to provide its full protection, each occupant must observe the following:
  • Fasten the seat belt correctly.

  • Be in an almost upright position with their back against the seat backrest.

  • Sit with their feet resting on the floor, if possible.

  • Always secure persons under 1.50 m tall in an additional restraint system suitable for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

However, no system available today can completely eliminate injuries and fatalities in every accident situation. In particular, the seat belt and airbag generally do not protect against objects penetrating the vehicle from the outside. The risk of an injury resulting from airbag deployment also cannot be ruled out entirely.
