Important safety notes

Risk of injury
To reduce the risk of serious or even fatal
injury to the child in the event of a sudden
change in direction, braking or an accident:
Do not modify the integrated child seat.
R
When the child seat is occupied, the head

restraint must be set correctly; adjust the
head restraint to a position at which the
back of the child's head is supported by the
centre of the head restraint at about eye
level.
Replace an integrated child seat that has
R
been damaged or subjected to a heavy load
as the result of an accident.
Observe that children under two years of
R
age or children weighing less than 12.5 kg
require a different child restraint system.

Possible causes/consequences and M Solutions
A special Mercedes-Benz child seat with automatic child seat rec-
ognition has been fitted to the front-passenger seat. The front-
passenger airbag has therefore been disabled as desired.

Risk of injury
There is no child seat fitted to the front-passenger seat. Automatic
child seat recognition is malfunctioning.
It is also possible that the + SRS warning lamp lights up and/
or the 4 PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp does not light
up briefly when you switch the ignition on.

Service Centre.
The rear seat backrest in the vehicle must

be securely locked in position.
The child seats are integrated into the right
and left-hand rear seat cushions. They comply
with the legal requirements of ECE
Regulation 44.03.
Mercedes-Benz recommends the integrated
child seat for children from approximately
two to twelve years or with a body weight of
12.5 kg to 36 kg.
For children between approximately two and
four years of age or weighing between
approximately 12.5 kg and 22 kg, you must
also use an ICS padded play table which has
been specially approved for the integrated
child seat ( page 48).
