Mercedes-Benz GLC : Airbags / Protective capacity of the airbags
Depending on the accident situation, an airbag
may supplement the protection offered by a correctly

the airbag cannot perform its intended protective
function.
Each vehicle occupant must make sure of the

women must take particular care to
ensure that the lap belt never lies across
the abdomen.

as far away as possible from the airbags.
