Mercedes Emergency Response Guide
Mercedes Emergency Response Guide
Dear Reader,
One of Mercedes-Benz's main priorities has traditionally been to guarantee the highest possible
standards of safety.
A comprehensive safety concept extends to providing rescue crews with specific information about
our vehicles and their safety systems.
The top priority of the rescue crew is to save lives. The rescue team must be able to gain access to
the accident victims as quickly as possible without exposing them or themselves to additional
danger.
In order to do this, the rescue services must be properly trained. In addition, knowledge of vehicle-
specific accessibility options and of the function and operation of the safety systems is absolutely
essential.
In addition to its “Guidelines for Rescue Services”, Mercedes-Benz now produces “rescue cards”
providing information in condensed form for many model series and models dating from the start
of production in 1971 (from 1995 for campers).
Vehicle owners and emergency services can download the rescue cards from the internet free of
charge.
The rescue cards are produced in full color. This helps you understand and take in the content
quickly. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you print the cards in color.

i Note
The body reinforcements marked on the rescue card generally identify those areas of the vehicle
which require significantly greater effort to cut using standard tools. The references to body rein-
forcements are therefore restricted to those areas where cutting may be necessary in order to
rescue the victims, and of which the crew chief should be aware.
