Warning!

G

Do not pass belts over sharp edges. They

could tear.

Do not allow the belt to get caught in the

door or in the seat adjustment mechanism.

This could damage the belt.

Never attempt to make modifications to

seat belts. This could impair the effective-

ness of the 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 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 un-

consciousness and possible death.

Do not run the engine in confined areas

(such as a 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 win-

dow fully open.
