Rear View Camera and
Road Side Camera Monitor In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is signicantly more likely to die than a person
wearing a seatbelt.
It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a
crash, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allow people
to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts. Make sure everyone
in your vehicle is in a seat and properly using a seatbelt. Failure to follow this warning could result in
serious personal injury or death.
The airbag system in the C250 is not functional. The label covering the airbag
indicator on the steering wheel must not be removed. All occupants, including the driver, should always
wear their seat belts assemblies whether or not an air bag is also provided at their designated seating
position to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash.
Each seating position in your vehicle has a seatbelt system made up of a lap and
shoulder belt, one buckle and one tongue designed to be used as a pair. Use the shoulder belt on the
outside shoulder only. Never wear the shoulder belt under the arm. Never use a single seatbelt for
more than one person. Failure to properly wear your seatbelt could seriously increase the risk of injury
or death.
Always drive and ride with your seat back upright, with the shoulder belt snug and
across the torso, and the lap belt snug and low across the hips, and not across the abdomen.

PROPER SEAT BELT FIT
Always drive and ride with your seat
back upright, with the shoulder belt snug and
across the torso, and the lap belt snug and low
across the hips, and not across the abdomen.
NOTE: The seat belts installed in the C250 do not have
pretensioners or an automatic locking mode.

Belt must be centered
on your shoulder and
chest, away from your
face and neck.
Incorrect Location:
Shoulder belt must not
rub against face or neck.
Move seat belt height
adjuster down to adjust.
Incorrect Location:
Shoulder belt must not
hang o󰀨 shoulder. Move
seat belt height adjuster
up to adjust.
Page 17

ADJUSTING THE SEAT BELT HEIGHT
Position the seatbelt height adjuster so
that the seatbelt rests across the middle of your shoulder.
Failure to adjust the seatbelt correctly could reduce its
e󰀨ectiveness and increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Adding too much slack to the seat belt
will reduce the seat belt’s e󰀨ectiveness during a crash,
and can result in injury or death to occupant.
Note: Before adjusting seat belt height, adjust the seat to the
proper position.
1. Pinch top and bottom levers together as you move the
shoulder loop to the correct height.
2. Move shoulder loop until it clicks into a locked position.
3. Gently tug on the shoulder belt to make sure it is locked.
ADJUSTING THE SEAT BELT LENGTH

Traction Control
WHAT IS TRACTION CONTROL
Operating your vehicle with the
traction control disabled could lead to an increased risk
of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury
and death.
The traction control o󰀨 indicator illuminates when
you switch the traction control system o󰀨, or when an
alternative stability control mode is selected that requires the
traction control o󰀨 depending on the drive mode selected.
STABILITY AND TRACTION CONTROL
INDICATOR
If the indicator does not illuminate when you
switch the ignition on, or remains on when the
engine is running, this indicates a malfunction. Have your
vehicle checked by an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
The traction control system helps to avoid drive wheel
spin and loss of traction.

Stability Control
HOW DOES STABILITY CONTROL WORK
Vehicle modications involving braking
system, aftermarket roof racks, suspension, steering system,
tire construction and wheel and tire size may change the
handling characteristics of your vehicle and may adversely
a󰀨ect the performance of the electronic stability control system.
In addition, installing any stereo speakers may interfere with
and adversely a󰀨ect the electronic stability control system.
Reducing the e󰀨ectiveness of the electronic stability control
system could lead to an increased risk of loss of vehicle control,
vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.
Remember that even advanced technology
cannot defy the laws of physics. It’s always possible to lose
control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the
conditions. Aggressive driving on any road condition can cause
you to lose control of your vehicle increasing the risk of
personal injury or property damage. Activation of the electronic
stability control system is an indication that at least some of
the tires have exceeded their ability to grip the road; this could
reduce the operator’s ability to control the vehicle potentially
resulting in a loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal
injury and death.
You are responsible for controlling your
vehicle at all times. The system is designed to be an aid and
does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care
and attention. Failure to follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal injury or death.
If a driving condition activates either the stability control
or traction control you may experience the following
conditions:
- The stability and traction control light ashes.
- Your vehicle slows down.
- Reduced engine power.
The stability control system has several features built into
it to help you maintain control of your vehicle:
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL
Electronic stability control enhances your vehicle’s ability
to prevent skids or lateral slides by applying brakes to
one or more of the wheels individually and, if necessary,
reducing engine power.
ROLL STABILITY CONTROL
Roll stability control enhances your vehicle’s ability to
prevent rollovers by detecting your vehicle’s roll motion
and the rate at which it changes by applying the brakes to
one or more wheels individually.
CURVE CONTROL
Curve control enhances your vehicle’s ability to follow
the road when cornering severely or avoiding objects in
the roadway. Curve control operates by reducing engine
power and, if necessary, applying brakes to one or more
of the wheels individually.
SIDE WIND STABILIZATION
Side wind stabilization is an advanced feature that works
by carefully applying the brakes on one side of the
vehicle to reduce the e󰀨ect of a side wind gust on the
vehicle’s path. Page 30
TORQUE VECTORING BY BRAKES
Torque vectoring control applies brake torque on the
inner driven wheel in a curve for better traction to avoid
an understeer, or oversteer situation. Unlike electronic
stability control, enhanced torque vectoring control does
not slow the vehicle. It helps control excessive wheel slip
and gives the vehicle improved cornering agility.
TRACTION CONTROL
Traction control enhances your vehicle’s ability to
maintain traction of the wheels by detecting and
controlling wheel spin.

o󰀨 its intended route.

control on a slippery surface.

Stability Control turns on each time you switch the ignition
on. You can switch the stability control o󰀨 by pressing and
holding the stability and traction control button o󰀨 for 5-15
seconds, or you can press the button again to switch the
system on. Shifting the transmission into reverse (R) will
disable the system. You can switch the traction control
system o󰀨 or on independently. See Switching Traction
Control On and O󰀨 (page 28).

SEAT BELT SYSTEM
AND TETHER MAINTENANCE
Any seat belt system that shows cuts, fraying, extreme, or
unusual wear, signicant discolorations due to ultraviolet
exposure, dusty-dirty conditions, abrasion to the seat belt
webbing, or damage to the buckle, latch plate, retractor,
hardware or any other obvious problem must be replaced
immediately, regardless of mileage.
We recommend that all seatbelt assemblies in use in vehicles
involved in a crash be replaced. However, if the crash was
minor and an authorized dealer nds that the belts do not
show damage and continue to operate properly, they do not
need to be replaced. Seatbelt assemblies not in use during a
crash should also be checked and replaced if either damage or
improper operation is noted.
CLEANING OF SEAT BELT FABRIC
Sponge the seat belt clean with mild soap and water.
Do not use bleach, dye, or household detergents.
