What year is your car? Is it under warranty? If its not and you were in an accident, perhaps your insurance (or the other driver's) will cover any costs - provided you filed a claim.

I'd get the car to a dealer.

Tensioners

There also may be seat belt tensioners that deployed to tighten the seat-belt during the accident. These are explosive devices that yank the belts tight. Your seat-belt warning "may" have to do with these devices.

If that's the case you must get it into a dealer for repairs. The vehicle would no longer be able to provide the same degree of safety as it did before.

I've heard from some people that you can disable using the computer. Don't know will the dealer do it for free.

Why on earth do you want to disable messages relating to safety equipment? Get it fixed for god's sake.

i agree with you. my dad just brought a W203 a month ago which had an accident. the airbags and the belts had go off. The guy we buy it from told us that you can disable the warnings from a computer. But we still spend the extra cash to get the airbags and get it fix. we actually getting the car back tomorrow.

but i still wonder how much force will be needed to set off the airbags? i mean for every small hit and you need to replace the airbags, it's a bit.....

The safety devices built into a Mercedes are there to save a person's life. I cannot imagine a reason to not fix them.

If someone wants to resell a car with the warning disabled and bad seat belts or airbags, they are criminals and have no moral conscience. I would hope no one would help in this type of criminal activity.
