Risk of injury
A rearward-facing child restraint system
must not be used on a seat protected by an
airbag installed in front of the seat unless
the airbag is deactivated. To make this clear,
an appropriate warning sticker is affixed to
either side of the front-passenger sun visor.
G
Risk of injury
A rearward-facing child restraint system
must not be used on a seat protected by an
airbag installed in front of the seat unless
the airbag is deactivated.
On the front-passenger seat, only use child
restraint systems with automatic child seat
recognition which have been recommended
for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. You can obtain
information from any Mercedes-Benz Serv-
ice Centre.
If you use a rearward-facing child seat on
the front-passenger seat, it must be a spe-
cial Mercedes-Benz rearward-facing child
seat with automatic child seat recognition.

If other rearward-facing child seats are used
on the front-passenger seat, the front-pas-
senger airbag is not deactivated and the
child could be seriously or fatally injured by
the airbag inflating. To make this clear, an
appropriate warning symbol is affixed in the
cockpit.
If you use a forward-facing child seat with-
out automatic child seat recognition on the
front-passenger seat, you must move the
front-passenger seat to its rearmost posi-
tion.
Do not leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle, even if they are secured in a child
restraint system. They would otherwise be
unable to rescue themselves if danger
threatens, e.g. excessive heat. Or they could
otherwise be injured by moving parts in the
vehicle, such as seats, or open the doors
and thereby endanger themselves and oth-
ers, for example.
Rearward-facing child seat warning symbol
Automatic child seat recognition
The sensor system for the front-passenger
seat automatically recognises whether a
special Mercedes-Benz rearward-facing
child seat is fitted. If this is the case, the
PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF warning lamp on
the centre console lights up.
