What does the message "restraint failure" mean in the Mercedes A-Class?
Years 2012-2018

Answer

In the Mercedes A-Class, the appearance of the message "restraint failure" indicates the presence of a fault in the airbags. Often, this is a false alarm or a fault with the sensor located under the passenger seat, which can be replaced easily and for a small fee. In any case, it is always advisable to go to the workshop to check the errors recorded by the control unit.
