Child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat
General notes
Accident statistics show that children secured
in the rear seats are safer than children secured
in the front seats. For this reason, Mercedes-
Benz strongly advises that you fit a child
restraint system on a rear seat.
Vehicles with the automatic co-driver's front air-
bag deactivation system: if it is absolutely nec-
essary to fit a child restraint system to the co-
driver's seat, always observe the notes on the
"Automatic co-driver's front airbag deactivation
system" (
page 47).
Y
Children in the vehicle
You can thus avoid the risks that could arise as
a result of:
a child restraint system that is not detected
R
by the automatic co-driver's front airbag
deactivation system
the unintentional disabling of the co-driver's
R
front airbag
the unsuitable positioning of the child
R
restraint system, e.g. too close to the dash-
board.
Please observe the warning notice on the co-
driver's sun visor, see the illustration.
G
WARNING
If you secure a child on the co-driver's seat in
a rearward-facing child restraint system and
the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp
lights up, the co-driver's airbag could be
deployed in the event of an accident. The child
could be struck by the airbag. There is an
increased risk of injury, possibly even fatal.
In this case, always ensure that the co-driver's
airbag is disabled. The PASSENGER AIRBAG
OFF indicator lamp must light up.
NEVER use a rearward-facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of
it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can
occur.
If the PASSENGER AIRBAG ON indicator lamp is
lit, the co-driver's front airbag is enabled
(
page 40).
