The defect
It is possible that the vehicles may mistakenly detect a correctly engaged seat belt as being not engaged. A warning tone and a warning symbol in the instrument cluster will inform the driver of this condition. This may cause the vehicle's PRE-SAFE® function to not engage. This affects the front seat belt buckles in the vehicle only.
The hazard
The PRE-SAFE® function pre-tightens the seat belt if the vehicle detects an accident is about to occur. If this does not engage, the complete effect of the restraint system could not be ensured.
The remedy
Affected consumers will be contacted by Mercedes-Benz to organise a free repair. Consumers can also contact their most convenient Mercedes-Benz retailer using www.dealerlocator.mercedes-benz.com.au
