G Work improperly carried out on electronic components and associated software could cause them to cease functioning. Because the vehicle’s electronic components are interconnected, any modifications made may produce an undesired effect on other systems. Electronic malfunctions could seriously impair the operating safety of your vehicle. See an authorized Maybach Studio for repairs or modifications to electronic components. Other improper work or modifications on the vehicle could also have a negative impact on the operating safety of the vehicle. Some safety systems only function while the engine is running. You should therefore never turn off the engine while driving. G Heavy blows against the vehicle underbody or tires/wheels, for example when running over an obstacle, road debris or a pothole, may cause serious damage and impair the operating safety of your vehicle. If you feel a sudden significant vibration or ride disturbance, or you suspect that damage to your vehicle has occurred, you should turn on your hazard warning flashers, carefully slow down, and drive with caution to an area which is a safe distance from the road. Inspect the vehicle underbody and tires/ wheels for possible damage. If the vehicle appears unsafe, have it towed to the nearest authorized Maybach Studio or other qualified maintenance or repair facility for further inspection or repairs. Proper use of the vehicle Proper use of the vehicle requires that you are familiar with the following information and rules: 앫 the safety precautions in this manual 앫 the “Technical data” section in this manual 앫 traffic rules and regulations 앫 motor vehicle laws and safety standards Warning! G Various warning labels are attached to your vehicle. These warning labels are intended to make you and others aware of various risks. You should not remove any of these warning labels unless explicitly instructed to do so by information on the label itself. Removal of any of these labels may cause you and others to be unaware of certain risks which may result in an accident and/or personal injury. 15 Introduction Problems with your vehicle Problems with your vehicle If you should experience a problem with your vehicle, particularly one that you believe may affect its safe operation, we urge you to immediately contact your Maybach Relationship Manager at an authorized Maybach Studio to have the problem diagnosed and corrected if required. If the matter is not handled to your satisfaction, please discuss the problem with the Maybach Studio management, or if necessary contact us at one of the following addresses: In the USA: Maybach Assistance Center Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC Three Paragon Drive Montvale, NJ 07645 In Canada: Customer Relations Department Mercedes-Benz Canada, Inc. 98 Vanderhoof Avenue Toronto, Ontario M4G 4C9 16 Introduction Reporting safety defects Reporting safety defects For the USA only: The following text is published as required of manufacturers under Title 49, Code of U.S. Federal Regulations, Part 575 pursuant to the “National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966”.

However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your Maybach Studio, the Maybach Assistance Center, or Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. To contact NHTSA, you may call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); go to http://www.safercar.gov; or write to: Administrator, NHTSA, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590.

G All seat, head restraint, steering wheel, and rear view mirror adjustments, as well as fastening of seat belts, must be done before the vehicle is put into motion. the Maybach 62 rear cabin includes a seat belt system and kinematic electronic controls that are designed to maintain proper support and restraint-system effectiveness in all seat settings in the event of a collision or similar situation. Warning! Seats Warning! G Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driving. Adjusting the seat while driving could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. Never ride in a moving vehicle with the seat back in an excessively reclined position as this can be dangerous. You could slide under the seat belt in a collision. If you slide under it, the seat belt would apply force at the abdomen or neck. That could cause serious or fatal injuries. The seat backrest and seat belts provide the best restraint when the wearer is in a nearly upright position and seat belts are properly positioned on the body. Only the reclining seat (in Maybach 62 rear cabin) can be used in a reclined position with seat belts properly fastened while the vehicle is in motion. The reclining seat in 62 G Your seat must be adjusted so that you can correctly fasten your seat belt (컄 page 68). Observe the following points: 앫 Adjust the backrest until your arms are slightly angled when holding the steering wheel. 앫 Adjust the seat to a comfortable seating position that still allows you to reach the accelerator/brake pedal safely. The position should be as far to the rear as possible, consistent with ability to properly operate controls. 앫 Adjust the head restraint so that it is as close to the head as possible and the center of the head restraint supports the back of the head at eye level. 앫 Never place hands under the seat or near any moving parts while a seat is being adjusted. Failure to do so could result in an accident and/or serious personal injury. Warning! G When leaving the vehicle, always remove the SmartKey or SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO** from the starter switch, take it with you, and lock the vehicle. Even with the SmartKey or the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO** removed from the starter switch or the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO** removed from the vehicle, the power seats can be operated when the respective door is open. Therefore, do not leave children unattended in the vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. A child’s unsupervised access to a vehicle could result in an accident and/or serious personal injury. Getting started Adjusting Warning! G According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating position. Thus, we strongly recommend that children be placed in the rear seats whenever possible. Regardless of seating position, children 12 years old and under must be seated and properly secured in an appropriate infant or toddler restraint, or booster seat recommended for the size and weight of the child. For additional information, see “Children in the vehicle” (컄 page 95). A child’s risk of serious or fatal injuries is significantly increased if the child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle and the child is not properly secured in the child restraint.

The adjustment procedure is briefly interrupted when the engine is started. Warning! G Let the system complete the adjustment procedure before setting the vehicle in motion. All steering wheel adjustment must be completed before setting the vehicle in motion. Driving off with the steering wheel still adjusting could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. Mirrors Adjust the interior and exterior rear view mirrors before driving so that you have a good view of the road and traffic conditions. Warning! G In case of an accident, liquid electrolyte may escape the mirror housing if the mirror glass breaks. Electrolyte has an irritating effect. Do not allow the liquid to come into contact with eyes, skin, clothing, or respiratory system. In case it does, immediately flush affected area with water, and seek medical help if necessary. ! Electrolyte drops coming into contact with the vehicle paint finish can only be completely removed while in their liquid state and by applying plenty of water. i The memory function (컄 page 140) lets you save the rear view mirror settings together with the settings for the steering wheel and seat positions.

G Make sure that absolutely no objects are obstructing the pedals’ range of movement. Keep the driver’s footwell clear of all obstacles. If there are any floormats or carpets in the footwell, make sure that the pedals still have sufficient clearance. During sudden driving or braking maneuvers the objects could get caught between the pedals. You could then no longer brake or accelerate. This could lead to accidents and injury. Fastening the 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 impacts or even during emergency braking maneuvers. 68 Always fasten your seat belt before driving off. Always make sure all of your passengers are properly restrained, even those sitting in the rear. 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 injured or killed. In the same crash, the possibility of injury or death is lessened if you are wearing your seat belt. The airbags can only provide the protection they were designed to afford if the occupants are wearing their seat belts (컄 page 82). Warning! G According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating position. Thus, we strongly recommend that children be placed in the rear seats whenever possible. Regardless of seating position, children 12 years old and under must be seated and properly secured in an appropriately sized infant restraint, toddler restraint, or booster seat recommended for the size and weight of the child. For additional information, see “Children in the vehicle” (컄 page 95). A child’s risk of serious or fatal injuries is significantly increased if the child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle and the child is not properly secured in the child restraint. Warning! G Never let more people ride in the vehicle than there are seat belts available. Be sure everyone riding in the vehicle is correctly restrained with a separate seat belt. Never use a seat belt for more than one person at a time. Getting started Driving Warning! G Never ride in a moving vehicle with the seat backrest in an excessively reclined position as this can be dangerous. You could slide under the seat belt in a collision. Warning! G Read and observe the additional warning notices printed in the “Safety and Security” section (컄 page 85). belt across the top of your shoulder and the lap portion across your hips. 왘 Push latch plate 2 into buckle 3 un- til it clicks. 왘 If necessary, tighten the lap portion to a snug fit by pulling shoulder portion up. If you slide under it, the seat belt would apply force at the abdomen or neck. That could cause serious or even fatal injuries. The seat backrest and seat belt provide the best restraint when the wearer is in a nearly upright position and the seat belt is properly positioned on the body. Proper use of seat belts: Only the reclining seat (in Maybach 62 rear cabin) can be used in a reclined position with seat belts properly fastened while the vehicle is in motion. The reclining seat in the Maybach 62 rear cabin includes a seat belt system and kinematic electronic controls that are designed to maintain proper support and restraint-system effectiveness in all seat settings in the event of a collision or similar situation.

The 1 indicator lamp in the instrument cluster lights up when the ignition is switched on and goes out no later than a few seconds after the engine has been started. 앫 Airbags (컄 page 83) The SRS components are in operational readiness if the 1 indicator lamp is not lit when the engine is running. 앫 Airbag control unit (with crash sensors) A malfunction in the system has been detected if the 1 indicator lamp: 앫 Emergency tensioning device (ETD) for seat belts (컄 page 95) 앫 fails to go out after approximately 4 seconds after the engine was started 앫 does not come on at all 앫 comes on after the engine was started or while driving Airbag system components with 앫 Front passenger front airbag off indicator lamp (컄 page 91) 앫 Front passenger seat with Occupant Classification System (OCS) (컄 page 88) Although independent systems, their protective effects work in conjunction with each other. 82 Warning! G Modifications to or work improperly conducted on restraint systems (such as seat belts and anchors, emergency tensioning devices, seat belt force limiters or airbags) or their wiring, as well as tampering with interconnected electronic systems, can lead to the restraint systems no longer functioning as intended. Airbags or emergency tensioning devices, for example, could deploy inadvertently or fail to deploy in accidents although the deceleration threshold for airbag deployment is exceeded. Therefore, never modify the restraint systems. Do not tamper with electronic components or their software. Safety and Security Occupant safety Warning! G In the event that the 1 indicator lamp comes on during driving or does not come on at all, the SRS self-check has detected a malfunction. For your safety, we strongly recommend that you visit an authorized Maybach Studio immediately to have the system checked; otherwise the SRS may not be activated when needed in an accident, which could result in serious or fatal injury, or it might deploy unexpectedly and unnecessarily which could also result in injury. In addition, improper repair work on the SRS creates a risk of rendering the SRS inoperative or causing unintended airbag deployment. Work on the SRS must therefore only be performed by qualified technicians. Contact an authorized Maybach Studio. If it is necessary to modify an airbag system to accommodate a person with disabilities, contact your local authorized Maybach Studio or call our Maybach Assistance Center at 1-866-FOR-MAYBach (1-866-367-6292) for details. Airbags Warning! Warning! G Airbags are designed to reduce the potential of injury and fatality in certain frontal impacts (front airbags), side impacts (side impact airbags and window curtain airbags) or rollovers (head protection window curtain airbags). However, no system available today can totally eliminate injuries and fatalities. The activation of the airbags temporarily releases a small amount of dust from the airbags. This dust, however, is neither injurious to your health, nor does it indicate a fire in the vehicle. The dust might cause some temporary breathing difficulty for people with asthma or other breathing trouble. To avoid this, you may wish to get out of the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. If you have any breathing difficulty but cannot get out of the vehicle after the airbag inflates, then get fresh air by opening a window or door. G To reduce the risk of injury when the front airbags inflate, it is very important for the driver and front passenger to always be in a properly seated position and to wear your seat belts. For maximum protection in the event of a collision always be in normal seated position with your back against the seat backrest. Fasten your seat belt and make sure it is properly positioned on your body. Since the airbag inflates with considerable speed and force, a proper seating and hands on steering wheel position will help to keep you at a safe distance from the airbag. Occupants who are unbelted, out of position or too close to the airbag can be seriously injured or killed by an airbag as it inflates with great force in the blink of an eye: 앫 Sit properly belted in a nearly upright position with your back against the seat backrest. 컄컄 83 Safety and Security Occupant safety 컄컄 앫 앫 Adjust the driver’s seat as far as possible rearward, still permitting proper operation of vehicle controls. The distance from the center of the driver’s breastbone to the center of the airbag cover on the steering wheel must be at least 10 in (25 cm) or more. You should be able to accomplish this by a combination of adjustments to the seat and steering wheel. If you have any problems, please see an authorized Maybach Studio. 앫 Do not lean with your head or chest close to the steering wheel or dashboard. If you sell your vehicle, it is important that you make the buyer aware of this safety information. Be sure to give the buyer this Operator’s Manual. 앫 Keep hands on the outside of steering wheel rim. Placing hands and arms inside the rim can increase the risk and potential severity of hand/arm injury when driver front airbag inflates. 앫 Adjust the front passenger seat as far as possible rearward from the dashboard when the seat is occupied. 84 Occupants, especially children, should never lean their heads in the area of the door where the side airbag inflates. This could result in serious injuries or death should the airbag be triggered. Always sit nearly upright, properly use the seat belts and appropriate size infant or child restraint system. Failure to follow these instructions can result in severe injuries to you or other occupants. Warning! G Accident research shows that the safest place for children in an automobile is in the rear seat. There is a possibility for a side impact airbag related injury if occupants, especially children, are not properly seated or restrained when next to a front side impact airbag and/or rear side impact airbag which needs to deploy rapidly in a side impact in order to do its job. To help avoid the possibility of injury, please follow these guidelines: (1) Occupants, especially children, should never place their bodies or lean their heads in the area of the door where the front side impact airbag and/or the rear side impact airbag inflates. This could result in serious injuries or death should the front side impact airbag and/or the rear side impact airbag be deployed. Safety and Security Occupant safety (2) Always sit as upright as possible, properly use the seat belts, and for children 12 years old and under, use an appropriately sized infant or toddler restraint or booster seat recommended for the size and weight of the child. (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 mounted seat side impact airbags deactivated, then deactivation can be accomplished upon your written request to do so at an authorized 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). i Airbags are designed to activate only in certain frontal impacts (front airbags), side impacts (side impact airbags and window curtain airbags) which exceed preset thresholds and in certain rollovers (window curtain airbags). Only during these events will they provide their supplemental protection. The driver and passengers should always wear their seat belts. Otherwise it is not possible for airbags to provide their supplemental protection. In case of other types of impacts and impacts below airbag deployment thresholds, airbags will not deploy. The driver and passenger will then be protected to the extent possible by a properly fastened seat belt. A properly fastened seat belt is also needed to provide the best possible protection in a rollover. We caution you not to rely on the presence of the airbags in order to avoid wearing your seat belt. Safety guidelines for the seat belt, emergency tensioning device and airbag Warning! G 앫 Damaged seat belts or seat belts that were highly stressed in an accident must be replaced and their anchoring points must also be checked. Use only seat belts installed or supplied by an authorized Maybach Studio. 앫 Airbags and emergency tensioning devices (ETDs) are designed to function on a one-time-only basis. An airbag or ETD that was activated must be replaced. 앫 No modifications of any kind may be made to any components or wiring of the SRS. This includes changing or removing any component or part of the SRS, the installation of additional trim material, seat covers, badges etc. over the steering wheel hub, front passenger front airbag cover, outboard sides of the seat backrests, door trim panels, or door frame trims, and installation of additional electrical/electronic equipment on or near SRS components and wiring. Keep area between airbags and occupants free from objects (e.g. packages, purses, umbrellas, etc.). 앫 Do not pass seat belts over sharp edges. They could tear. It is important to your safety and that of your passengers that you replace deployed airbags and repair any malfunctioning airbags to make sure that the vehicle will continue to provide supplemental crash protection for occupants. 컄컄 85 Safety and Security Occupant safety 컄컄 앫 Do not make any modification that could change the effectiveness of the seat belts. 앫 Do not bleach or dye seat belts as this may severely weaken them. In a crash they may not be able to provide adequate protection. 앫 Do not hang items such as coat hangers from the coat hooks or handles over the door. These items may turn into projectiles and cause head and other injuries when window curtain airbag is deployed. 앫 Never place your feet on the instrument panel, dashboard, or on the seat. Always keep both feet on the floor in front of the seat. 앫 Airbag system components will be hot after an airbag has inflated. Do not touch. 앫 앫 86 In addition, improper repair work on the SRS creates a risk of rendering the SRS inoperative or causing unintended airbag deployment. Work on the SRS must therefore only be performed by qualified technicians. Contact an authorized Maybach Studio. For your protection and the protection of others, when scrapping the airbag unit or emergency tensioning device, our safety instructions must be followed. These instructions are available from your authorized Maybach Studio. 앫 Given the considerable deployment speed and the textile structure of the airbags, there is the possibility of abrasions or other, potentially more serious injuries resulting from airbag deployment. Warning! Front airbags G Only use seat covers which have been tested and approved by us for use on Maybach vehicles. Using other seat covers may interfere with or prevent the deployment of the side impact airbags. Contact an authorized Maybach Studio for availability. When you sell your vehicle, we strongly urge you to give notice to the subsequent owner that it is equipped with an SRS by alerting them to the applicable section in the Operator’s Manual. 1 Driver front airbag 2 Front passenger front airbag Driver’s and front passenger front airbags are deployed: 앫 in the event of certain frontal impacts 앫 if impact exceeds a preset deployment threshold 앫 independently of the side impact airbags Safety and Security Occupant safety i The front airbags in this vehicle have been Side impact airbags Window curtain airbags 1 Front side impact airbags 2 Rear side impact airbags 1 Front window curtain airbag 2 Rear window curtain airbag The side impact airbags are deployed: The side window curtain airbags are deployed: designed to inflate in two stages. This allows the airbag to have different rates of inflation that are based on the rate of vehicle deceleration as assessed by the airbag control unit. On the front passenger side, the front airbag deployment is additionally influenced by the passenger’s weight category as identified by the Occupant Classification System (OCS) (컄 page 88). The lighter the front passenger side occupant, the higher the vehicle deceleration rate required for the second stage inflation of the airbag. The airbags will not deploy in impacts which do not exceed the system’s deployment thresholds. You will then be protected by the fastened seat belts.

Occupants must sit properly belted in a position that is as upright as possible with their back against the seat backrest and feet on the floor to be correctly classified. If the occupant’s weight is transferred to another object in the vehicle (e.g. by leaning on armrests), the OCS may not be able to properly approximate the occupant’s weight category. Furthermore, the occupant weight may appear to increase or decrease due to objects hanging on the seat, other passengers pushing on the seat, objects lodged underneath the seat or stuffed between seat and middle console or between seat and door or due to objects applying pressure on the back of the seat. Always make sure that the seat has clearance in all directions at all times. 88 i If your seat, including your trim cover and cushion needs to be serviced in any way, take the vehicle to your authorized Maybach Studio. Only seat accessories approved by Maybach may be used. Both driver and the front passenger should always use the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp as an indication of whether or not the front passenger is properly positioned. Warning! G If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp illuminates when an adult or someone larger than a small individual is in the front passenger seat, have the front passenger re-position himself or herself in the seat until the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp goes out, or check whether objects are caught under or around the seat. More information about airbag display messages (컄 page 369). In the event of a collision, the airbag control unit will not allow front passenger front airbag deployment when the OCS classified the front passenger seat occupant as being up to or less than the weight of a typical 12-month-old child in a standard child restraint or if the front passenger seat is sensed as being empty. When the OCS senses that the front passenger seat occupant is classified as being up to or less than the weight of a typical 12-month-old child in a standard child restraint, the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will illuminate when the engine is started and remain illuminated, indicating that the front passenger front airbag is deactivated. When the OCS senses that the front passenger seat is classified as being empty, the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will illuminate when the engine is started and remain illuminated, indicating that the front passenger front airbag is deactivated. Safety and Security Occupant safety When the OCS senses that the front passenger seat occupant is classified as being heavier than the weight of a typical 12-month-old child seated in a standard child restraint or as being a small individual (such as a young teenager or a small adult), the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will illuminate for approximately 6 seconds when the engine is started and then, depending on occupant weight sensor readings from the seat, remain illuminated or go out. With the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp illuminated, the front passenger front airbag is deactivated. With the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp out, the front passenger front airbag is activated. When the OCS senses that the front passenger seat occupant is classified as an adult or someone larger than a small individual, the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will illuminate for approximately 6 seconds when the engine is started and then go out, indicating that the front passenger front airbag is activated. If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is illuminated, the front passenger front airbag is deactivated and will not be deployed. If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is not illuminated, the front passenger front airbag is activated and will be deployed: 앫 in the event of certain frontal impacts 앫 if impact exceeds a preset deployment threshold 앫 independently of the side impact airbags If the front passenger front airbag is deployed, the rate of inflation will be influenced by: 앫 the rate of relevant vehicle deceleration as assessed by the airbag control unit 앫 front passenger’s weight category as identified by the Occupant Classification System (OCS). Warning! G According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating position. Thus, we strongly recommend that children be placed in the rear seats whenever possible. Regardless of seating position, children 12 years old and under must be seated and properly secured in an appropriate infant or child restraint recommended for the size and weight of the child. The infant or child restraint must be properly secured with the vehicle’s seat belt, the seat belt and top tether strap, or lower anchors and top tether strap, fully in accordance with the child seat manufacturer’s instructions. Always sit nearly upright, properly use the seat belts and for children 12 years old and under, use an appropriately sized infant or toddler restraint or booster seat recommended for the size and weight of the 컄컄 child. 89 Safety and Security Occupant safety 컄컄 Children can be killed or seriously injured by an inflating airbag. Note the following important information when circumstances require you to place a child in the front passenger seat: 앫 Your vehicle is equipped with airbag technology designed to turn off the front passenger front airbag in your vehicle when the system senses the weight of a typical 12-month-old child or less along with the weight of a standard appropriate child restraint on the front passenger seat. 앫 A child in a rear-facing child restraint on the front passenger seat will be seriously injured or even killed if the front passenger front airbag inflates in a collision which could occur under some circumstances, even with the airbag technology installed in your vehicle. The only means to completely eliminate this risk is to never place a child in a rear-facing child restraint in the front seat. We therefore strongly recommend that you always place a child in a rear-facing child restraint in the back seat. 90 앫 앫 If you must install a rear-facing child restraint on the front passenger seat because circumstances require you to do so, make sure that the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is illuminated, indicating that the front passenger front airbag is deactivated. Should the indicator lamp not illuminate or go out while the restraint is installed, please check installation. Periodically check the indicator lamp while driving to make sure the lamp is illuminated. If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp goes out or remains out, do not transport a child on the front passenger seat until the system has been repaired. A child in a rear-facing child restraint on the front passenger seat will be seriously injured or even killed if the front passenger front airbag inflates. If you have to place a child in a forward-facing child restraint on the front passenger seat, move the seat as far back as possible, use the proper child restraint recommended for the age, size and weight of the child, and secure child restraint with the vehicle’s seat belt according to the child seat manufacturer’s instructions. For children larger than the typical 12-monthold child, the front passenger front airbag may or may not be activated (컄 page 86). i Deployment of the driver front airbag does not mean that the front passenger front airbag also should have deployed. The Occupant Classification System (컄 page 88) may have determined: 앫 that the seat was empty or occupied by the weight up to or less than that of a typical 12-month-old child seated in a standard child restraint - both instances where the system suppresses deployment of the front passenger front airbag even though the impact met the criteria and was of sufficient severity to deploy the driver front airbag 앫 that the seat was occupied by a small individual (such as a young teenager or a small adult) or a child weighing more than the weight of a typical 12-month-old child in a standard child restraint - instances where the system may suppress deployment of the front passenger front airbag even though the impact met the criteria and was of sufficient severity to deploy the driver front airbag Safety and Security Occupant safety The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is located on the upper part of the front center console. Warning! G If the 1 indicator lamp and the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp are lit at the same time, there is a malfunction in the Occupant Classification System. The front passenger front airbag will be deactivated in this case. In order to ensure proper operation of the airbag system and OCS: 앫 1 Indicator lamp The PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp 1 will be illuminated, except with the SmartKey removed or in starter switch position 0 (컄 page 60). Have the system checked as soon as possible by qualified technicians. Contact an authorized Maybach Studio. 앫 Do not place more than 4.4 lb (2 kg) into the ruffled storage bag on the back of the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the OCS may not be able to properly approximate the occupant weight category. 앫 Do not place objects under and/or around the front passenger seat. 앫 Do not hang anything from or attach any items to the seats. 앫 Do not stuff objects such as books between the middle console and the front passenger seat. 앫 Do not move the front passenger seat backwards against stiff objects. 앫 Sit properly belted in a nearly upright position with your back against the seat backrest. 앫 Do not lean on the armrests or lift yourself from the seat by using the handle over the door as this may cause the OCS to be unable to correctly approximate the occupant weight category. 앫 Only have the seat repaired or replaced by an authorized Maybach Studio. Self-test Occupant Classification System After turning the SmartKey in the starter switch to position 1 or 2 or pressing the KEYLESS-GO** start/stop button once or twice, the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp located in the center console illuminates. If an adult occupant is properly sitting on the front passenger seat and the system senses the occupant as being an adult, the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will illuminate and go out after approximately 6 seconds. If the seat is not occupied and the system senses the front passenger seat as being empty, the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp will illuminate and not go out. 91 Safety and Security Occupant safety Warning! G If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp should not illuminate, the system is not functioning. You must see an authorized Maybach Studio before seating any child on the front passenger seat. For more information, see the “Practical hints” section (컄 page 369). Warning! G Never place anything between seat cushion and child seat (e.g. pillow), since it reduces 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 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 provinces. Even where this is not the case, all vehicle occupants should have their seat belts fastened whenever the vehicle is in motion. 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 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 impacts 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 injured 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 occupants are properly wearing their seat belts. 92 Safety and Security Occupant safety Warning! G Warning! G Never ride in a moving vehicle with the seat backrest in an excessively reclined position as this can be dangerous. You could slide under the seat belt in a collision. If you slide under it, the seat belt would apply force at the abdomen or neck. That could cause serious or even fatal injuries. The seat backrest and seat belt provide the best restraint when the wearer is in a nearly upright position and the seat belt is properly positioned on the body. Never let more people ride in the vehicle than there are seat belts available. Be sure everyone riding in the vehicle is correctly restrained with a separate seat belt. Only the reclining seat (in Maybach 62 rear cabin) can be used in a reclined position with seat belts properly fastened while the vehicle is in motion. The reclining seat in the Maybach 62 rear cabin includes a seat belt system and kinematic electronic controls that are designed to maintain proper support and restraint-system effectiveness in all seat settings in the event of a collision or similar situation. Damaged seat belts or seat belts that were highly stressed in an accident must be replaced and their anchoring points must also be checked. Keep the door storage compartments closed while the vehicle is in motion. Failure to do so may cause the seat belt to catch at the rear and prevent proper positioning of the seat belt. Do not bleach or dye seat belts as this may severely weaken them. In a crash, they may not be able to provide adequate protection. Warning! USE SEAT BELTS PROPERLY 앫 Seat belts can only work when used properly. Never wear seat belts in any other way than as described in this section, as that could result in serious injuries in case of an accident. 앫 Each occupant should wear their seat belt at all times, because seat belts help reduce the likelihood of and potential severity of injuries in accidents, including rollovers. The integrated restraint system includes SRS (driver front airbag, front passenger front airbag, side impact airbags, window curtain airbags for side windows), ETD (seat belt emergency tensioning device), and front seat knee bolsters. The system is designed to enhance the protection offered to properly belted occupants in certain frontal (front airbags and ETD) and side (side impact, window curtain airbags and ETD) impacts which exceed preset deployment thresholds and in certain rollovers 컄컄 (window curtain airbags). Never use a seat belt for more than one person at a time. Warning! G Only use seat belts which have been approved for Maybach vehicles. Do not make any modifications to the seat belts. This can lead to failure of the seat belts. G Have all work carried out only by qualified technicians. Contact an authorized Maybach Studio. 93 Safety and Security Occupant safety 컄컄 앫 Never wear the shoulder belt under your arm, against your neck or off your shoulder. In a crash, your body would move too far forward. That would increase the chance of head and neck injuries. The shoulder belt would also apply too much force to the ribs or abdomen, which could severely injure internal organs such as your liver or spleen. 앫 Never wear seat belts over rigid or breakable objects in or on your clothing, such as eyeglasses, pens, keys, etc., as these might cause injuries. 앫 Position the lap belt as low as possible on your hips and not across the abdomen. If the lap belt is positioned across your abdomen, it could cause serious injuries in a crash. 앫 Never use a seat belt for more than one person at a time. Do not fasten a seat belt around a person and another person or other objects. 앫 Seat belts should not be worn twisted. In a crash, you wouldn’t have the full width of the seat belt to manage impact forces. The twisted seat belt against your body could cause injuries. 94 앫 Pregnant women should also always use a lap-shoulder belt. The lap belt portion should be positioned as low as possible on the hips to avoid any possi
