Mercedes Benz 2008 c300 User Manual

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

1 Driver air bag
2 Front passenger front air bag

The front air bags are designed to provide 
increased protection for the driver and 
front passenger against the risk of injuries 
to the head and thorax.

Driver and front passenger front air bag are 
deployed:

앫

in the event of certain frontal impacts

앫

if impact exceeds a preset deployment 
threshold

앫

if the system determines that airbag 
deployment can offer additional pro-
tection to that provided by the seat belt

앫

depending on whether the seat belt is 
in use

앫

independently of the front side impact 
air bags, rear side impact air bags* 
and/or the window curtain air bags.

앫

For your protection and the protection 
of others, when scrapping the air bag 
unit or emergency tensioning device, 
our safety instructions must be fol-
lowed. These instructions are available 
from your authorized Mercedes-Benz 
Center.

앫

Given the considerable deployment 
speed, required inflation volume, and 
the textile structure of the air bags, 
there is the possibility of abrasions or 
other, potentially more serious injuries 
resulting from air bag deployment.

G

Only use seat covers which have been 

tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz for 

your vehicle model. Using other seat covers 

may interfere with or prevent the 

deployment of the front side impact air bags 

or the rear side impact air bags. Contact an 

authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for avail-

ability.
