Further improvements to the belt and airbag system Mercedes-Benz has also improved the highly efficient seat belt and airbag system in the A-Class. The smallest model in the Mercedes range is fitted with the innovative protection systems normally only found in the Stuttgart-based manufacturer’s execu-tive and luxury-class saloons. These include adaptive two-stage front airbags, belt tensioners for the front and outer rear seats, adaptive belt force limiters and newly developed head/thorax side airbags in place of the outgoing model’s sidebags. The belt status display in the instrument cluster is another new feature, alerting the driver if the rear passengers are not strapped in.
