Occupant safety
For more information, see the “Practical
hints” section (
컄 page 369).
The use of seat belts and infant and child
restraint systems is required by law in all
50 states, the District of Columbia, the
U.S. territories and all Canadian provinc-
es.
Even where this is not the case, all vehicle
occupants should have their seat belts
fastened whenever the vehicle is in mo-
tion.
For more information on fastening seat
belts, see “Getting started” (
컄 page 68).
i For information on infants and children
traveling with you in the vehicle and restraint
systems for infants and children, see “Children
in the vehicle” (컄 page 95).
Warning! G
If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator
lamp should not illuminate, the system is
not functioning. You must see an autho-
rized Maybach Studio before seating any
child on the front passenger seat.
Warning! G
Never place anything between seat cush-
ion and child seat (e.g. pillow), since it re-
duces the effectiveness of the Occupant
Classification System. The bottom of the
child seat must make full contact with the
passenger seat cushion. An incorrectly
mounted child seat could cause injuries to
the child in case of an accident, instead of
increasing protection for the child.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
installation of child seats.
Seat belts
Warning! G
Due to the considerably larger interior
compared to other vehicles, for occupants
in the rear of the vehicle not properly
wearing their seat belts, the risk of injury
in an accident is significantly increased.
They are much more likely to be thrown
around in the vehicle in slight frontal im-
pacts or even during emergency braking
maneuvers.
Always fasten your seat belt before driving
off. Always make sure your passengers are
properly restrained, even those sitting in
the rear and pregnant women.
Failure to wear and properly fasten and
position your seat belt greatly increases
your risk of injuries and their likely severity
in an accident. You and your passengers
should always wear seat belts.
If you are ever in an accident, your injuries
can be considerably more severe without
your seat belt properly buckled. Without
your seat belt buckled, you are much more
likely to hit the interior of the vehicle or be
ejected from it. You can be seriously in-
jured or killed.
In the same crash, the possibility of injury
or death is lessened if you are properly
wearing your seat belt. Airbags can only
protect as they are designed if the occu-
pants are properly wearing their seat belts.
