When you sell the vehicle we strongly urge you to give
notice to the subsequent owner that it is equipped with
an SRS by alerting him to the applicable section in the
Operator’s Manual.

• No modifications of any kind may be made to

any components or wiring of the SRS. This
includes changing or removing any component
or part of the SRS, the installation of additional
trim material, badges etc. over the steering
wheel hub, front passenger airbag cover, or
front door trim panels, and installation of
additional electrical/electronic equipment on
or near SRS components and wiring. Keep area
between airbags and occupants free of objects
(e.g. packages, purses, umbrellas, etc.).

• An airbag system component within the

steering wheel gets hot after the airbag has
inflated. Do not touch.

• Improper work on the system, including

incorrect installation and removal, can lead to
possible injury through an unintended
activation of the SRS .

• In addition, through improper work there is

the risk of rendering the SRS inoperative or
causing unintended airbag deployment. Work
on the SRS must therefore only be performed
by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

• For your protection and the protection of

others, when scrapping the airbag unit or
Emergency tensioning device, our safety
instructions must be followed. These
instructions are available at your authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.

• Given the considerable deployment speed and

the textile structure of the airbags, there is the
possibility of abrasions or other injuries
resulting from airbag deployment.
