Mercedes-Benz has been providing this information in its “Guidelines for Rescue Services” since March 1994. The guidelines have been revised regularly ever since.
This is the 2005 edition. The constant development of our vehicles, particularly in the field of vehicle safety, and the expansion of our product range have necessitated another update. These guidelines contain several methods for rescuing accident victims from a vehicle. We must emphasize, however, that these guidelines cannot claim to be exhaustive and on no account should they, nor are they intended to, act as a substitute for proper specialist training and the relevant specialized literature.
