<P>Ed, <P>All Mercedes-Benz safety systems for vehicles are designed assuming the passengers use seat belts. <BR>Submarining is when the force of the impact is so great that one could slip, knees first, slip from under the seat belts. Mercedes has developed a patented system that keeps the seat cushion from ripping lose and allow your body to slide from under the seat belts. <BR>BTW, air bags are designed to help revent injuries <B>while</B> wearing set belts. Air bags alone won't do you much good. <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <P>I know that when people don't wear seatbelts it is very important to keep <BR>them from submarining so that the air bag can still work. I have no <BR>knowlege in this area, but would also like a better understanding. <BR> </BLOCKQUOTE> <P>-- <BR> Harold Pietschmann <P> • Writer • Photographer • <BR>• Professional 4x4 Training • <BR> • 4WD Consulting • <BR> <A HREF="http://www.4x4abc.com">http://www.4x4abc.com</A> <BR> </HTML> </x-html>From ???@???

Its fit and finish are superb. I've looked at the new E closely and it docent appear much better built than the ML. But then again it is only my impression. ======================================================================= M-Class Mailing List http://www.off-road.com/mbenz Subscription Info http://www.off-road.com/mbenz/guideline.html Sponsored by Clair Parts Express: http://www.clair.com/parts/index.html *** Send [Un]Subscription message to majordomo@lists.off-road.com ***** ======================================================================= M-Class Mailing List http://www.off-road.com/mbenz Subscription Info http://www.off-road.com/mbenz/guideline.html Sponsored by Clair Parts Express: http://www.clair.com/parts/index.html *** Send [Un]Subscription message to majordomo@lists.off-road.com *****
