Warning!

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.
Damaged seat belts or belts that were highly 
stressed in an accident must be replaced by 
an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Warning!
G
Inhalation of exhaust gas is hazardous to 
your health. All exhaust gas contains carbon 
monoxide, and inhaling it can cause uncon-
sciousness and lead to 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.
