Getting started

Driving

Place the seat backrest in a nearly up-
right position.

ț

Never use a seat belt for more than one
person at a time.

ț

Do not fasten a seat belt around a per-
son and another object at the same
time. When using a seat belt to secure
infant or toddler restraints or children
in booster seats, always follow the
child seat manufacturer’s instructions.

Check your seat belt during travel to
make sure that it is properly
positioned.

Make sure that the seat belt is always
fitted snugly. Take special care of this
when wearing loose clothing.

Starting the engine

Warning!

G

Do not pass belts over sharp edges. They

could tear.

Do not allow the seat belt to get caught in

the door or in the seat adjustment mecha-

nism. This could damage the seat belt.

Never attempt to make modifications to

seat belts. This could impair the effective-

ness of the seat belts.

Do not bleach or dye seat belts as this may

severely weaken them. In a crash, they may

not be able to provide adequate protection.

Damaged seat belts or seat belts that were

highly stressed in an accident must be

replaced. Contact an authorized

Mercedes-Benz Center.

Warning!

G

Inhalation of exhaust gas is hazardous to

your health. All exhaust gas contains carbon

monoxide (CO), and inhaling it can cause

unconsciousness and possible death.

Do not run the engine in confined areas

(such as garage) which are not properly

ventilated. If you think that exhaust gas

fumes are entering the vehicle while driving,

have the cause determined and corrected

immediately. If you must drive under these

conditions, drive only with at least one

window fully open.
