Occupant safety
(2) Always sit nearly upright, properly use
the seat belts and use an appropriately
sized infant or child restraint system
for all children 12 years old or under.
(3) Always wear seat belts properly.
If you believe that, even with the use of
these guidelines, it would be safer for your
rear seat occupants to have both rear seat
mounted side airbags deactivated, then
deactivation can be accomplished upon
your written request to do so at an autho-
rized Maybach Studio at an additional
cost.
Please contact your local authorized
Maybach Studio or call our Maybach
Assistance Center at
1-866-FOR-MAYBach (in the USA), or
1-888-881-6611 (in Canada).

Airbags are designed to activate only
in certain frontal impacts (front air-
bags), side impacts (side impact and
head protection window curtain air-
bags) which exceed preset thresholds
and in certain rollovers (head protec-
tion window curtain airbags). Only
during these events will they provide
their supplemental protection.
The driver and passengers should al-
ways wear their seat belts. Otherwise
it is not possible for airbags to pro-
vide their supplemental protection.
In case of other types of impacts and
impacts below airbag deployment
thresholds, airbags will not be activat-
ed. The driver and passenger will then
be protected to the extent possible by
a properly fastened seat belt. A prop-
erly fastened seat belt is also needed
to provide the best possible protec-
tion in a rollover.
We caution you not to rely on the
presence of the airbags in order to
avoid wearing your seat belt.
Your vehicle was originally equipped
with airbags that are designed to ac-
tivate in certain impacts exceeding a
preset threshold to reduce the poten-
tial and severity of injury. It is impor-
tant for your safety and the safety of
your passengers that you replace de-
ployed airbags and repair any mal-
functioning airbags to make sure the
vehicle will continue to provide sup-
plemental crash protection for occu-
pants.
