Getting started

Parking and locking

Press the seat belt release button 
(

page 42).

Allow the retractor to completely re-
wind the seat belt by guiding the latch 
plate.

After exiting the vehicle, press the lock 
button

‹ on the remote control 

(

page 32).

The turn signal lamps flash three times 
and the locking knobs on the doors 
move down.

More information on parking and locking 
can be found in the “Controls in detail” 
section (

page 88).

With the key removed and the driver’s 
door open, a warning sounds if the ve-
hicles exterior lamps are not switched 
off.

Warning!

G

To prevent possible personal injury, always 
keep hands and fingers away from the door 
openings when closing the doors. Be espe-
cially careful when small children are 
around.

Before closing doors, ensure that there is no 
possibility of someone getting caught in a 
door during closing.

Warning!

G

When leaving the vehicle, always remove the 
key from the starter switch, and lock your 
vehicle. Do not leave children unattended in 
the vehicle, or with access to an unlocked 
vehicle. Unsupervised use of vehicle equip-
ment may cause an accident and/or seri-
ous personal injury.

In this section you will learn the most im-
portant facts about the restraint systems 
of the vehicle.

The restraint systems are

Seat belts

Emergency tensioning device

Airbags

Child seat

Child seat recognition

Lower anchors and tethers for children 
(LATCH)

As independent systems, their protective 
effects work in conjunction with each 
other.

The 

1  indicator lamp in the instrument 

cluster (

page 26) comes on for about 

four seconds when you turn the key in the 
steering lock to position 2. It goes out 
when you start the engine. This shows that 
the restraint systems are operational.

If the lamp does not come on at all or if it 
fails to extinguish after approximately four 
seconds or if it comes on thereafter, a mal-
function in the system has been detected.

More information can be found in the 
“Practical hints” section (

page 255).

For information on infants and children 
traveling with you in the vehicle and 
restraint systems for infants and chil-
dren, see “Children in the vehicle” 
(

page 67).

Warning!

G

In the event that the 

1 malfunction indi-

cator lamp comes on during driving or does 
not come at all, the SRS may not be opera-
tional.

For your safety, we strongly recommend 
that you visit an authorized Mercedes-Benz 
Light Truck Center immediately to have the 
system checked; otherwise the SRS may not 
be activated when needed in an accident, 
which could result in serious or fatal injury, 
or it might deploy unexpectedly and unnec-
essarily which could also result in injury.

Improper work on the restraint systems, in-
cluding incorrect installation and removal, 
can lead to possible injury through an unin-
tended activation of the SRS.

In addition, through improper work there is 
a risk of rendering the SRS inoperative or 
causing unintended airbag deployment. 
Work on the SRS must therefore only be per-
formed by qualified technicians. Contact 
your authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck 
Center.
