The following system components are monitored or undergo a selfcheck: crash-sensor(s), airbag ignition circuits, seat belt buckles, emergency tensioning retractors, seat sensor. Initially, when the key is turned from steering lock position 0 to positions 1 or 2, malfunctions in the crashsensor are detected and indicated (the "SRS" indicator lamp stays on longer than 4 seconds or does not come on). In the operational mode, after the indicator lamp has gone out following the initial check, interruptions or short circuits in the airbag ignition circuit and in the driver and passenger seat belt buckle harnesses, and low voltage in the entire system are detected and indicated. Have the system checked at your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center immediately. Warning! In the event a malfunction of the "SRS" is indicated as outlined above, the "SRS" may not be operational. For your safety, we strongly recommend that you visit an authorized MercedesBenz 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 unnecessary which could also result in injury.
