The safety net in the T-Model of the Mercedes E-Class (4th generation, W212, 2009–2016) and the EASY-PACK trunk comfort box of the sedan increase safety when transporting luggage. This section explains correct use and provides important information on avoiding injuries from unsecured cargo.

Important Safety Notes

WARNING

The safety net alone cannot retain or secure heavy items, luggage or heavy cargo. During sudden changes of direction, braking maneuvers or an accident, unsecured cargo can strike you. There is a risk of injury or even death!

Always stow items so that they cannot fly around. Secure items, luggage or cargo against sliding or tipping over, e.g. by lashing them down, even when using the safety net.

If you load small items above the seat backrests, using a safety net is important. For safety reasons, always use a safety net when transporting cargo.

Damaged safety nets cannot perform their protective function and must be replaced. Contact a qualified specialist workshop.

Do not transport sharp-edged, pointed or fragile objects in the EASY-PACK luggage compartment comfort box. Always stow and secure these or similar objects in the luggage compartment outside the EASY-PACK luggage compartment comfort box.
If you exceed the maximum permissible load of the EASY-PACK trunk comfort box, items can be thrown out of the EASY-PACK trunk comfort box and strike vehicle occupants. There is a risk of injury, especially during braking maneuvers or sudden changes of direction!

Always observe the maximum permissible load of the EASY-PACK trunk comfort box. Always store and secure heavy items in the trunk outside the EASY-PACK trunk comfort box.

The maximum permissible load of the EASY-PACK trunk comfort box is 10 kg. From a load of approx. 5 kg, the floor of the box lowers down to the trunk floor mat. This prevents overloading the box.

    The Mercedes E-Class W212 (model years 2009–2016) features a well-thought-out airbag system. Driver, front passenger, side and window airbags provide the best possible protection in different types of accidents. They are coordinated with one another and optimally complement the seat belts.

    The airbags deploy precisely depending on the type and severity of the accident. This significantly reduces the risk of injury, and the E-Class remains a benchmark for safety in road traffic.

    With this system, Mercedes demonstrates how modern technology raises occupant protection to a new level.
