The front-passenger front airbag is deacti-
vated.

Risk of injury
If the 9 warning lamp does not light
up when the child restraint system is fitted,
this means the front-passenger front airbag
has not been deactivated. The child could
suffer life-threatening injuries if the front-
passenger front airbag is inflated. If the
warning lamp does not light up, proceed as
follows:
Do not use a rearward-facing child re-
straint system on the front-passenger
seat.
Fit a rearward-facing child restraint sys-
tem on a suitable rear seat.
or
Only use a forward-facing child restraint
system on the front-passenger seat and
move the front-passenger seat to its
rearmost position.
Have the automatic child seat recogni-
tion checked at a qualified specialist
workshop which has the necessary spe-
cialist knowledge and tools to carry
out the work required. Mercedes-Benz
recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this
purpose. In particular, work relevant to
safety or on safety-related systems
must be carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
To ensure that the automatic child seat
recognition system functions correctly, nev-
er place objects (e.g. a cushion) under
the child restraint system. The entire base
of the child restraint system must always be
resting on the vehicle seat cushion. An in-
correctly fitted child restraint system cannot
perform its protective function in the event
of an accident, and could even lead to inju-
ries.
i
The windowbag, the sidebag and the belt
tensioner on the front-passenger side are still ac-
tive even if the front-passenger front airbag
is deactivated.
Occupant safety
ISOFIX child seat securing system in
the rear
ISOFIX is a standardised securing system
for special child seats in the rear. There are
securing rings for two child restraint sys-
tems between the seat cushion and the
backrest on the left and right-hand sides of
the outer rear seats.
G
Risk of injury
A child restraint system secured by the
ISOFIX child seat securing system does not
provide sufficient protection for children
weighing more than 22 kg. For this reason,
do not secure children weighing more than
22 kg in a child restraint system secured by
the ISOFIX child seat securing system. If the
child weighs more than 22 kg, secure the
child restraint system using a lap-shoulder
belt.
