Window curtain airbag

The head protection window curtain airbags afford
increased protection against injuries to the head and
upper body. They inflate in the area between the A and
C pillars (see arrows) between the side windows and an
occupant’s head.

Important!

The operational readiness of the airbag system is
verified by the indicator lamp “SRS” in the instrument
cluster when turning the key in steering lock to
position 1 or 2. If no fault is detected, the lamp will go
out after approximately 5 seconds; after the lamp goes
out, the system continues to monitor the components
and circuitry of the airbag system and will indicate a
malfunction by coming on again. If the lamp does not
come on at all or if it fails to extinguish after
approximately 5 seconds or if it comes on thereafter,
a malfunction in the system has been detected.

The following system components are monitored or
undergo a self-check: crash-sensor(s), airbag ignition
circuits, front seat belt buckles, emergency tensioning
retractors, seat sensor.

Initially, when the key is turned from steering lock
position 0 to positions 1 or 2, malfunctions in the
crash-sensor are detected and indicated (the “SRS”
indicator lamp stays on longer than 5 seconds or does
not come on).

Have the system checked at your authorized
Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center immediately.
