Adjusting
Seats
You can adjust the seats either electrically or manually, depending on your
vehicle's equipment.
Risk of accident G
Only adjust the driver's seat when
the vehicle is stationary. You will
otherwise be distracted and could
lose control of the vehicle and cause
an accident as a result of the seat
movement.
Risk of injury G
Make sure that nobody can be
trapped as you adjust the seat.
Your seat must be adjusted in such
a way that you can wear the seat
belt correctly (
Position your seat in such a way
that:
You are seated as far as possi-
ble from the front airbag.
Ensure the following:
The backrest is almost vertical.
Your arms are slightly bent
when you are holding the steering wheel.
page 43).
The distance to the pedals is
such that you can depress them
fully and your legs are not completely outstretched.
The head restraint supports the
back of your head at about eye
level.
You could otherwise receive severe
or even fatal injuries in the event of
sudden braking or an accident.

Driving
Getting started
Driving
Risk of accident G
Do not keep any objects in the driver's footwell. Make sure that floormats or carpets in the driver's
footwell
do not obstruct the pedals
are securely fastened
Objects could otherwise get caught
between the pedals if you accelerate or brake suddenly. You will then
not be able to brake, operate the
clutch pedal, or accelerate as intended. This could lead to accidents
and injury.
Wearing seat belts
Risk of injury G
A seat belt which is not worn correctly, or which has not been engaged in the seat belt buckle
correctly, cannot perform its intended protective function. Under certain circumstances this could even
cause severe or fatal injuries.
Make sure that all occupants – especially pregnant women – wear
their seat belts correctly at all times:
The seat belt must pass closely
over your body and must not be
twisted. You should therefore
avoid wearing bulky clothing
(e.g. winter coats). The shoulder
belt section must be routed over
the middle of your shoulder –
never over your neck or under
your arm – and pulled tight
against your upper body. The lap
belt must cross over your lap as
low down as possible at all
times, i.e. over your hip joints –
not across your stomach or lower abdomen. If necessary, tighten the belt strap by pulling it
down slightly and retighten in
the direction of the inertia reel.
Do not route the belt strap over
sharp-edged or easily broken
objects, especially if these are
located on or in your clothing,
e.g. spectacles, pencils, keys,
etc. The seat belt strap could be
damaged and you could be injured.
Online Version (Edition F1, 06/03)
41
Getting started
Driving
Only one person should use
each seat belt at any one time.
Never carry children on your lap,
since the child will then no longer be secured in the event of an
accident, braking or a sudden
change in direction, which could
result in severe or fatal injuries
to the child and other occupants.
Persons less than 1.50 m tall
(5 feet) cannot wear the seat
belts correctly. For this reason,
secure persons less than 1.50 m
(5 feet) tall in specially designed, suitable restraint systems.
Children less than 1.50 m
(5 feet) tall or under 12 years of
age cannot wear the seat belts
properly. Always secure these
children in suitable child restraint systems on suitable vehicle seats (
page 66).
Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions when fitting the child restraint system.
Do not secure any objects with a
seat belt if it is also being used
by one of the vehicle's occupants.
Risk of injury G
A seat belt only offers its intended
degree of protection if the backrest
is positioned as close to the vertical
as possible and the occupant is sitting upright. Avoid seat positions
that do not allow the seat belt to be
routed correctly (
tion the backrest as vertically as
possible. Do not drive with the backrest reclined too far back.
page 34). Posi-
Risk of injury G
By design, airbags are not activated
in all accident situations, since a
correctly fastened seat belt will often be sufficient for providing an effective degree of protection. Airbags
do not replace seat belts in any way.
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal
injuries, make sure that all occupants – especially pregnant women
– are strapped in correctly at all
times, have adopted a normal sitting
position, and that the seat is positioned as close to the vertical as
possible (
page 34).

If necessary, adjust the belt to the
correct height (
Pull the shoulder belt upwards to
page 44).
tighten the belt across your lap if
necessary.
Risk of injury G
You could be injured in an accident
if you use seat belts which:
are damaged
have been subjected to a load in
an accident
have been modified
The seat belts can then neither function nor perform their protective
function as intended.
Do not route the belt strap over
sharp edges. It could tear.
Make sure that the seat belt is not
caught in the door or in the seat adjustment mechanism. It could be
damaged.
Check regularly that the seat belts
are not damaged.
Never carry out any modifications to
the seat belts yourself. They might
not function properly any more.
Always have seat belts which have
been damaged or subjected to a
heavy load in an accident replaced
at a qualified specialist workshop
which has the necessary specialist
knowledge and tools to carry out the
work required.
Online Version (Edition F1, 06/03)

Getting started
Driving
Mercedes-Benz recommends a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for
this purpose. In particular, work relevant to safety or on safety-related
systems must be carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop.
